This article sorts out the special content of negative reviews, hoping to help sellers better deal with this problem.
Seller level
1. The seller uses the 5-star system to feedback the rating:
Positive feedback: 5 or 4 stars
Central feedback: 3 stars
Negative fssdback: 2 stars or 1 star
2. Amazon uses the following formula to calculate the seller’s Feedback Score:
Formula: feedback score = total praise / total evaluation
Note: the total number of evaluations is based on the best 30, 90, 365 days or accumulated over time.
For example, suppose the following is a seller’s rating score for each level
Total praise (5 + 4) = 90
Total number of evaluations (1 to 5 stars) = 100
Feedback score = total praise / total evaluation = 90.0%

There are several conventional treatment methods
1) Sort out and provide all kinds of evidence as soon as possible: purchase orders, invoices, and supporting documents of brand authorization to prove that the products are genuine, not fake and imitated;
2) Open a case to Amazon seller’s platform or directly appeal by email and report. If the centralized and continuous evaluation is poor, it can also explain to Amazon that it is a malicious attack from competitors, and ask Amazon to provide help;
3) After Amazon accepts it, it usually makes a judgment based on the competitors’ historical shopping records, IP information, shopping routes, past reviews and other information. The seller should explain to Amazon the losses caused by your listing, and pay attention to the follow-up process, so as to speed up the processing progress of Amazon;
4) We need to increase orders as soon as possible, praise review, click more 5-star helpful, and try our best to minimize the loss.
In short, when a product has negative reviews, in addition to taking quick measures to delete the negative reviews, we should consider whether the product is worth doing, how to improve it, whether the maintenance cost is too high, and find the root of the negative reviews.
