How To Add Picture To Amazon Review

Download Article

This wikiHow teaches you how to review an item you purchased from Amazon using a computer, phone, or tablet. Reviewing an item like a book, grill, dress, or laptop can help other shoppers decide whether the product is right for them. Product reviews are different from leaving feedback for an Amazon seller—if you want to review the purchasing/shipping experience rather than the product itself, see How to Leave Seller Feedback on Amazon.

Question

How long after receiving your purchase should you leave a customer review?

As long as it takes for you to become familiar with the product. For example, with a book, you may want to wait until you have read it all. This may take a few weeks but it is important that you are familiar with the product, otherwise your views may be biased.
Question

How do I copy a link I have posted on Amazon and send to someone?

Go to your account-->reviews written by you, then find the review you want and click 'permalink'. After that, you can copy the URL.
Question

Do I need to purchase an item in order to review it on Amazon?

No, you do not need to purchase the item on Amazon to leave a review on it.
Question

How do I upload a photo with my Amazon review?

Select a star rating for the product and begin writing your review. Then, click the "Add a Photo" button to upload and preview your image. (You can add more than one photo if you wish.) Finally, press "Submit" to save your rating, including your text review and image(s).
Question

How do I post a book review that was requested by the author?

You can follow these instructions to leave a review even if it was requested by the author. (You don't need to mention the author's request in your review either.)
Question

Can I review a product if I have not purchased it on Amazon?

Yes, but you won't get the verified purchase banner on it, so people may pay less attention to it; it also may be filtered out.
Question

Can I use HTML tags on an Amazon review?

Unfortunately, no. Amazon restricts the use of HTML tags in their reviews.
Question

Will my name show up on an Amazon review?

Md. Alamgir Hossain

Community Answer

Yes, your name would be showing on Amazon reviews. This happens because when you open an account on Amazon, yo need to provide name verification, and that's why when you post a review, Amazon shows your verified purchase account name.
Question

How long does it take a book review to show up once I have made one on Amazon?

Md. Alamgir Hossain

Community Answer

Reviews will generally show up within 72 hours of posting. Some reviews take a little longer to be posted, sometimes up to 4 or 5 days. It's completely up to Amazon on how long (or even if) a review will be posted, so if you're having difficulty seeing reviews, reach out to Amazon directly.
Question

Is there a minimum I have to purchase before I can start leaving reviews?

There is no minimum amount of products to purchase on Amazon in order to leave a review.

Be sure your review is accurate and fair.
Be sure to be descriptive and personal when writing your review description. Make sure it is at least 75 words long, and without spelling or grammar errors.
Remember who you're reviewing for. Reviews are for potential customers to make a fully informed purchase.
Don't include feedback about the seller, packaging, or shipping, as this belongs in 'Seller Feedback' and 'Packaging Feedback'.
You can review any product Amazon owns. It's not just limited to the items you can edit the database information for.
For Amazon Kindle books, you may choose to write a review for the books or apps or games (or any of the Amazon digital purchases) right from your Kindle itself, as writing a review moments after finishing the book, may keep the ideas flowing even when the book concluded.
Sometimes, Amazon may send emails to your email inbox. Look for the address "customer-reviews-messages@amazon.com". The subject line will look something like:" How many stars would you give '(first item's name)'?"

Actually use the item before you review it. Some people can't resist the urge to get on Amazon and write a glowing review about their purchase as soon as they receive it only to find out a few days after posting that the item did not meet their expectations.
Do not use profanity or slander, or your review will not be published.
Do not use your review to complain that Amazon or the company who is selling through Amazon was late in delivering your item. Put those complaints on the seller feedback page. Reviews that start with this complaint are usually skipped over by the more experienced Amazon user who is more interested in researching the quality of the product, and removed via Amazon if they are caught in time (before they enter the reviews that are already present for the item).
In your review do not say that all products made by such and such company are junk. You are announcing to the world that you were already prejudiced against the item before you bought it and therefore might be more prone to give a negative review.
