Amazon has just confirmed that it has removed all listing of a major accessory maker, RavPower from its online store. The latter has apparently violated the company’s policies and has thus had its listings removed.
According to a recent blogpost from the e-retailer giant, the company revealed that it maintains a strict policy for all the companies that use its platform. AndroidAuthority had initially reported on this news, which surfaced after Wall Street Journal’s Nicole Nguyen ordered a RavPower charger that also offered her a 35 US Dollar gift card if she left a review. While RavPower’s parent company Sunvalley state that the firm didn’t ask for a five star rating, the offer still violated a 2016 Amazon policy.
This policy bars companies from offering monetary rewards for reviews. Initially, it was unclear if Amazon had removed the listings for this very reason, but the company’s latest blogpost has confirmed this report. Notably, the listing removal also arrives after the e-retailer had previously taken down listings from other accessory makers like Mpow and Aukey. Furthermore, the blogpost didn’t specifically call out these brands or even RavPower, but it did detail its strict policy towards paid Amazon reviews. For those unaware, Aukey and Mpow listings were removed back in May 2021, as these two firms were accused of paying for fake reviews.
