What if I'm not in the US?
While most of our users review on Amazon US, we do allow our users to review on any of the below versions of Amazon:
United States (amazon.com)
United Kingdom (amazon.co.uk)
Australia (amazon.com.au)
Canada (amazon.ca)
Germany (amazon.de)
Japan (amazon.co.jp)
France (amazon.fr)
Netherlands (amazon.nl)
Italy (amazon.it)
Spain (amazon.es)
Most of our reviewers are based in the US, which is why all book links default to the US version of Amazon. However, you are welcome to read and review books on any of the Amazon sites listed above as well :) All you have to do is adjust the book link to bring you to the correct sales page. Simply replace the .com part of the link with the extension indicated above in your browser's URL search bar.
For example, if the link is currently http://amazon.com/dp/XXXXXX, it would change to http://amazon.ca/dp/XXXXXX if in Canada
You will let us know your review country while turning in your first assignment. If you need to change your review country, contact support. To do so, click the chat bubble in the bottom right while logged in, or email support@pubby.co.
What if I keep getting the "You haven't met the eligibility requirements" message from Amazon?
If you're in the United States and get that message it means that you haven't spent $50 in the past 12 months on the account you're signed into and cannot review on that account until you do. If you've recently spent the $50 on a purchase that needs to be shipped, please be aware that Amazon will not charge you until the shipment is made. Therefore, your account will not be updated to show that you have fulfilled the eligibility requirement until then. It may take a few more days for Amazon's system to update after the shipment has been made.
If you're not in the United States and get that message, and you did not follow the directions above for changing the link for your specific country, please try that first. If you are still encountering problems please take a screenshot and forward it to support@pubby.co with a message about what book you've been trying to leave a review for and any other pertinent information
