Amazon has been blocking people from reviewing products for nebulous reasons. This is interesting. I've gotten some stuff off Amazon and reviewed products, but I'll be damn if I ever will in the future! If you've ever reviewed something on Amazon, you might well find all of your reviews gone and yourself blocked from reviewing anything in the future and NO explanation. WTF, weird.

(6,019 posts)Amazon finally refunded me after I went through 4 rounds of A to Z guarantee rejections. Of course I ripped into the seller. A day later, my review was gone. I havent bought anything from them since. I dont know when/if I will.

(67,107 posts)had any issues with them or any sellers. I've returned a few items, but no real issues. They removed all of my reviews back years and years. And then just out of the blue they kicked me off as a reviewer. If I try to do a review now, I get some stupid message basically saying I'm in collusion with the Seller. WTF! I'll never do a review again, and now I will first look for other places than Amazon to buy products. The Sellers are going through hell with this.

(10,885 posts)Really - sometimes I just want to buy something without rating or reviewing it. For example, I recently bought some USB wall charger plugs and some grounding adapter plugs to go from 3-prongs to 2-prongs...pretty mundane and basic stuff, and not much to be said about them. Three "reminder" e-mails later, I finally gave a generic review just to get them off my back.
Considering the number of items I buy through Amazon, I wish they WOULD kick me off Amazon reviews!

(67,107 posts)a good little guy I do it, thinking it's helpful. My reward, they F'en kick me off their reviews and treat me like some kind of criminal. They're getting too big for their britches. There are lots of other places to shop online.

(67,107 posts)options. By canceling my reviews I'm probably in their untrustworthy group. I just can't imagine returning (for me) anything to them now. There are just way too many other places to get items, and often with free shipping. And often Amazon's prices are not the cheapest.
