INSIGHT

Cross-Border Reviews Often Don’t Transfer

  • Not every review transfers across Amazon marketplaces, especially Vine reviews, causing rating mismatches between regions.
  • Steven Pope suggests missing transfers often relate to the review content rather than platform bugs.
ADVICE

Analyze Missing Reviews With AI

  • Do a cross-analysis to find which reviews didn't transfer and compare their content to those that did cross.
  • Use AI to speed up the comparison and identify content patterns that block transfer.
ADVICE

Avoid Relying On Vine Program

  • Avoid relying on Vine; Steven Pope does not encourage sellers to use the program for product insight or consistent ratings.
  • If you can obtain reviews organically (the 30 free reviews), prefer that over paid Vine submissions.
