The following summarizes the relevant issues about the Early Reviewer Program fees for sellers’ reference.
1. Fee Standards
The Early Reviewer Program is not free. It costs $60 per product and can get up to 5 reviews. You can see the fee details in the backend payment, and as long as the first early review is received, all fees will be charged.
2. When will the seller be charged?
The program is charged by ASIN. When the ASIN applying for the program obtains the first Review from the Early Reviewer Program, the fee for this ASIN will be deducted.
From the day the ASIN passes the application, Amazon will help sellers to carry out the evaluation plan for one year. If 5 reviews from the Early Reviewer Program are obtained within one year in advance, the evaluation plan will end early. In other words, the products participating in the “Early Reviewer Program” can obtain a maximum of 5 reviews, and the longest validity period is one year.
3. How do sellers check the deduction records?
The fee for each ASIN will be displayed next to the upload button (Upload button) for uploading the SKU file (SKU file). If there is consumption tax, the seller must also pay it. Once the fee is deducted, you can see the fee details marked as “Early Reviewer Program Fee” in the Amazon seller backend account report. Sellers can see the fee details by logging in to Seller Transaction View.
4. Will there be a refund if there are no 5 reviews after one year?
No refund. Amazon does not guarantee how many reviews the products participating in the program will get. Amazon charges a fixed fee for each ASIN. After each ASIN obtains the first review from the program, it will deduct the fee, and the evaluation plan will continue in the future.
5. Can I cancel after participating in the early reviewer program?
ASINs that have applied for the program cannot be canceled, but the program is billed by ASIN. The fee will only be deducted once this ASIN receives the first review from the program, and there will be no other deductions after that.
