How do you plan on enforcing the policy?
What measures are in place to prevent bad actors / competitors from weaponizing the policy and taking out honest sellers.

How can a seller effectively report entire listings with clearly fake, manipulated customer reviews (which are currently all over the site and nothing is being done about it) without having to click on “Report abuse” on every single of the reviews?

What about when they clearly are not true, and not authentic? When it’s clear sabotage?

What measures will you use to remove false reviews.

I just read the review policy and it dwells on what the seller can and cannot do. How about what the reviewer can and cannot do. Every so often I see a review that basically reads “I don’t know what I am doing so I do not like the product”. I understand that the product must be well described and well designed so there is not this type of problem. But sometimes there are ridiculous or detailed problems which really boil down to the fact that the buyer cannot or did not read information.

How does the “negative review” of 0.5% - 1% (essentially a rounding-error) carry so much weight, compared to the 99% of buyers that leave a “positive review” or do not leave a review at all?

Why have you been unable to prevent this avalanche of fake reviews?
It’s very common for a listing to pop up and get 10 verified 5 star reviews per day for a month.
Yet, Amazon does not take it down or delete the reviews? Will you ever fix this?
Update:
Actually, here’s one with floods of fake reviews coming in daily. Enjoy!
Update
Here’s another one. It’s a sleeping bag, but the reviews are for a set of pots. Pretty easy to spot guys:

Will you follow up and take action on blatant violations of this policy reported and well-documented on this forum, such as those appearing on this thread?

Why are unverified reviews allowed?

Can you enforce only legitimate buyers should leave the review and unverified reviews should not be allowed at all. It could be done by some competitor to depreciate feedback record.
