Sellers frequently farm good reviews by including cards in their packages that state "give us a 5 star review and get a full/partial refund!"

I order A LOT off Amazon and I have never gotten one of these, I'd know because I would absolutely do this. I've seen "Please leave a review" card but never with a promise of a refund

Sellers update their listings with good reviews with different pictures, descriptions, etc. which effectively creates a different listing while carrying over a large review count.

Can confirm, I've seen this, but I thought it was Amazon themselves for some reason lmao

Amazon doesn't allow reviews after 30 days (?) from purchase, so items poor durability will not have that reflected in their reviews

I don't think that's true, I'm pretty sure I've seen reviews from people months after they ordered it
