Why Amazon Deletes Negative Reviews - And What You Can Do About It

Negative reviews can make or break a product’s success on Amazon. But what happens when these reviews disappear without warning? Amazon’s review moderation system is often misunderstood, leaving many sellers confused and frustrated. In this article, we’ll explore the main reasons why Amazon deletes negative reviews and, more importantly, what you can do to protect your reputation and stay compliant.

Amazon has strict guidelines for reviews. While transparency is important, certain types of reviews violate their terms of service. These include:

• Inappropriate language or offensive content

• Reviews by people with no verified purchase

• Competitor attacks or fake reviews

• Incentivized or biased opinions

Amazon deleting fake or unfair negative reviews can:

• Protect your brand image

• Improve conversion rates

• Restore product ranking accuracy

But sometimes, genuine negative reviews are mistakenly removed—or harmful ones remain.

Whether Amazon removes your reviews or ignores your report, here’s what you can do:

• Monitor reviews using a tool like BlueBug Review Monitoring

• Report suspicious reviews via Amazon’s feedback form

• Use BlueBug’s Negative Review Removal Services to act fast and legally
