Amazon bans Chinese merchants for alleged attempts to bribe customers to write good reviews


Offering gifts to customers to write positive reviews is a common practice in the Chinese e-commerce world but considered an abuse of the review system by Amazon. Sunvalley, which operates six brands from electronics to home appliances, generated US$697mil in sales from Amazon last year. — SCMP

Three more Chinese consumer brands have been banned from selling on Amazon.com amid the US platform’s ongoing crackdown on attempts by sellers to solicit positive customer reviews, dealing a fresh blow to the “made in China, sold on Amazon” community.

Amazon banned the sale of RAVPower power banks, Taotronics earphones and VAVA cameras, three brands under Shenzhen-based electronics company Sunvalley, effective June 16, according to a weekend announcement by Sunvalley’s parent company Guangdong SACA Precision Manufacturing.
