Amazon Vine Program for Brand Registered FBA sellers
Hi everyone,
I searched the forums but I am not getting the insight I need before enrolling my products in Amazon Vine. I reviewed all the terms and conditions of the program and this is what is see:
Enrollment Fees. Unless otherwise agreed between you and Amazon, the applicable fee to enroll each Product or Products in the Program ( Fee ) will be provided when you use our online enrollment tool. We may change the applicable Fee for any Product at any time on a prospective basis. We may deduct the Fee from any amounts we owe to you. The Fees are exclusive of any applicable taxes.
So when I go to enroll my product is says the fee is $0.00, but when search the forums people are saying its $2k+.
Is there a promotion going on making the fee $0.00? I just want to make sure I am not charged over $2k in the end. Anyone try this program out and get a review (and billed for this service)?

I did some more research and found this on Seller Central UK if anyone is interested. This must be a promotion going on in the US as well:

Are you referring to the early reviewer program? That is $60 per product.
Seller_AevYmOVtgtKV2
@IndigoCharms No this is Amazon Vine which is a different program. I currently use the Early Reviewer Program and it works great but the $60 will only get you 5 reviews. The Vine program you provide Sample/review units via FBA and people that are Vine Voice reviewers get the samples for free in exchange for their feedback. The review will say “Vine Voice”, but you can get up to 30 reviews with this program.

I’ve never heard of this being available to FBA sellers, maybe it is for Vendor central sellers?

Its new for Brand Registered FBA sellers. If you go under advertising it shows up as “Vine”.

Thank you for sharing!
Any idea what the fees (if any) are for Amazon US Sellers?

If you are and Brand registered FBA seller so to Advertising > Vine > and in the ASIN search box put the ASIN you want to enroll.
Seller_AevYmOVtgtKV2
@CanYouHandlebar Right now it is showing as $0.00 for up to 5 products which is why I thought it was weird, since this program used be be thousands of dollars. After the 6 month promotion, you will only be able to see the fee once you search an ASIN to be enrolled or at least that is what I’ve been reading. No idea what the fee will be in the future.

Have any of you got any of your products requested by reviewers yet?
