I'll tell you how they do, they hire people who are running FB, WhatsApp, and WeChat social network groups those group members offer free products to any trustworthy buyers for a 5-star review, The buyer orders the product they offer, receives, reviews once the 5-star is active they refund the money, the buyer keeps the item. In a week they can generate over 10-15 positive feedbacks or more for each ASIN.

Not to mention the insane flood of fake products being sold by brand new accounts, it could not be more obvious but amazon would rather see the collapse of their marketplace than help sellers and solve these issues.

I am not sure if you are referencing Seller reviews or listing reviews? Remember seller reviews are unique to the account and not the listing. So if you are worried they have more reviews then you on their account it could be because they have more orders for other items then you have and thus a larger opportunity for reviews. If it you are talking about listing reviews that benefits you as well if you are on the same listing. If you are seeing them holding the buybox there are many ways to take the buybox including paying more for sponsored ads of the product, having the better price, overall better seller feedback, being FBA vs MFN. Having more inventory in Amazon network.
Though I wont deny that it happens, there are a lot of legit means to build reviews. Items eligible for Amazon Vine as an examples could add quite a few product reviews in three months. As well as the ability to contact customers within Amazons guidelines that have purchased from you. More detail would be helpful.

I had an instance where my Brand registered with amazon i had been selling a listing for over 3 years with over 100 reviews. A new Chinese seller "just launched" with zero feedback got the featured offer on my listing by selling at a lower price Shipping from China into the US marketplace...
We never shipped our brand products to China so it was obviously fake never mind the shipping cost would be more than what they listed OUR item for from China.
After endless hours with Brand Registry and support the seller finally removed the listing after about 5 customer feedback they were charged never got anything. I ordered from them and after 2 months nothing shipped and Brand registry wouldnt even reply to me about it.
How can Amazon allow Chinese sellers WITH LITERALLY ZERO HISTORY just launched to defraud customers and American brands with over 5 years of history of positive feedback. The Chinese know how to hurt you on Amazon, I was targeted twice after listing new best seller items.

Amazon is a new Aliexpress. They do not care about US sellers.
Chinese sellers can have 20 accounts, fake reviews, counterfeit items.
They can display fake addresses on their seller profiles. They can hijack the listings. They can change products completely and still use same listings to bait the customers.
When you report them , you will hear that `` Your report is investigated and Amazon could not find violation.``
Most importantly, Chinese sellers do not pay income taxes. They take all income back to their home with 0 taxes and richen their countries.
Basically, the rules are for only US based sellers. Rules for Chinese sellers are different. This place became center of discrimination.

Amazon US would be TEMU or Wish soon. All the Chinese Sellers needs to be scrutinized, or out right ban. We are not getting a fair shake from Amazon, as they (Chinese) are getting away scot free. We don't have a problem with a fair competition, but the "un-fair" practice we are facing against the Chinese Seller.
They are manipulating the ASIN, reviews, counterfeit products, false orders, feedback.,etc. You name it, they have done it, in a large industrial scale.

The beginning of the end was when Amazon starting offering FBA for Chinese sellers. On top of that, they bought a cargo company to even bring the stuff over here. So Amazon has everything in between the Chinese exporter and the customer. That's what they've wanted to control and monetize on while forcing ad spending on sellers like all of us just to compete.
Amazon got scared when AliExpress came out worrying about a potential new foreign marketplace competitor. So why let them compete when you can just have all their customers and screw over your long standing domestic sellers. They steal listings, get fake/paid reviews, and have armies of people sitting behind VPNs making new account once their accounts get flagged/suspended.
We though the ePacket situation was bad at least with that the customer would realize that it would take 2 weeks to get the merchandise. Now they get it in 2 days with Prime through FBA.

amazon is set up for buyers not sellers they control everything sellers cannot put up their own accurate listing. Amazon makes is easy for buyers to rip sellers off they do not care about sellers only buyers. 2/3 of amazon buyers lie on their returns that is a true statistic and you cannot even block a bad buyer from raping you and destroying your business.

2 reviews in 3 months? Have you enroll the Vine program?

It was not as bad when you were allowed to make comments an the reviews not most go unchecked.

Amazon has really gone downhill in the last few years. I hardly even shop on Amazon anymore because it takes too long to sift through the overpriced junk from China to actually find something decent. case in point, I just searched Amazon for a ski jacket. The first 22 results were from brands I have never heard of, all sold by Chinese companies. You used to be able to select sold by Amazon to actually filter out that junk to view the quality brand names, but Amazon took that away. Hmmmm, that tells me a lot. If I want something cheap, I now skip Amazon and go right to the Chinese selling platforms. I recently bought some bead bracelets for .98 cents each with free shipping. The same exact bracelets are selling on Amazon for 15.95 and are selling hundreds a month. Obviously this is the direction Amazon wants to go in and force American sellers off the platform because it’s too hard to compete. Chinese companies have way lower overhead and their cost of living is much, much lower. A dollar profit is way different for them than an American. They can lower prices so low that it forces the American seller to lose money on the same product they can still make a profit on. I don’t even waste much time trying to sell on Amazon anymore.
