Часто задаваемые вопросы

Why was the Early Reviewer Program discontinued?+

Amazon replaced it with the Vine program, which provides more comprehensive reviews from trusted reviewers. The transition reflected Amazon's focus on review quality over quantity.

What are the current options for getting initial reviews?+

Primary options: Amazon Vine ($200 + free units), Request a Review button in Seller Central, follow-up email sequences, and product insert cards (within Amazon's terms of service). Never pay for or incentivize reviews — this violates Amazon's policies.
