Understanding the nuances of Amazon seller feedback vs. Amazon product reviews will help you set realistic (and ambitious) goals, meet them, and build a trustworthy reputation on Amazon — all while boosting sales, rising in rank, and inspiring customer loyalty. The best way to build a trustworthy reputation and grow your business on Amazon is by accruing seller feedback and product reviews in both quantity and quality. These two metrics are used by both shoppers and Amazon to compare 1) the quality of similar products, and 2) the service of merchants offering similar goods. Seller feedback and product reviews serve different purposes in building a brand and a seller’s reputation on Amazon. That’s why when referencing these terms, make sure to include “seller” in front of feedback, and “product” in front of reviews. That way there is a clear delineation between the two, which are often mistakenly used interchangeably by shoppers and sellers alike.

With every rule change from Amazon, sellers struggle to understand and comply with the new information. What’s okay to do? What’s not okay? What could lead to suspension? At Seller Labs, we understand and we’re here to make this Amazon communications policy update as clear as possible. First thing to know: We’re really excited about the update for two reasons: 1) Amazon has made it clear that you can ask buyers for reviews. We’ve always understood this to be true, but the latest update explicitly says it. Once again: YES, YOU CAN ASK A BUYER FOR A REVIEW. 2) Amazon has made it clear that you can use Seller Labs Pro, powered by Feedback Genius, to communicate with buyers. The new rules state that you can use an approved third-party application listed in the Marketplace Appstore. Seller Labs Pro is absolutely approved. To be clear: YES, YOU CAN USE FEEDBACK GENIUS TO ASK A BUYER FOR A REVIEW.
