[NEW BLOG POST] Amazon... is it really worth the time to interact on and leave reviews?




MY THOUGHTS AND RAMBLINGS...

I spend a lot of time on amazon as i am sure a lot of people do. You have to find just the right book, check your budget and either look for a new cheaper book or buy that perfect book. Then you read the book and gather your thoughts on that perfect book and leave a review. You hope that others see your review and also want to buy and read said perfect book. Usually this would be the end of this reviewers worry about said book.  

But really this is just the beginning of this story. I have been reviewing and running a blog for years now. Thousands of reviews written, which means lots of time searching for books and leaving reviews.  


But what happens when you start posting reviews only to have them posted then secretly removed days later by amazon. When you write a ton sometimes you don't notice right away but after it happens multiple times you get mad and wonder why.... 


So of course you want answers so customer service is who you contact. You get a person we will call them Angelica. So Angelica listens and tells you she is sorry that she can't do anything for you but she will submit a "form" to the group that can help. Great right? You will get some answers as to why your review was removed from your purchased book. She states to give her a few days and you will get a call back. You are thinking perfect my review will be posted and my issue fixed... haha so funny. You get an email but no call back at all.
