When buying books on Amazon, here are some friendly tips to help make sure your review gets the Verified Purchase Stamp!
Remember, Amazon (not Pubby) applies the stamp. These are just suggestions based on our understanding of why Amazon might withhold the stamp. 📚✨
1. Buy the book from Amazon before writing your review. It's best to do this right after signing up to read it. Wait 24 hours between buying the book and writing your review. ⏳
2. Do not use your Kindle Unlimited subscription to read the book for free. 🚫📖
3. Buy the eBook version and post your review under that specific version. For example, if you buy the eBook, make sure your review is for the eBook, not the paperback. 📲🔄📚
4. Don't return the book after you’ve submitted your review. 🔄❌
5. Use the same Amazon account to both buy the book and write your review. 👥🔑
6. Avoid using promotions, credits, or gift cards when buying the book. At checkout, it should show the full price of the eBook. Unfortunately, there’s no workaround for using Amazon credits. It’s best to avoid signing up for Verified Purchase assignments when you have credits, and use them for personal purchases instead. You can check your points on Kindle Rewards Home to see if credits will be applied. 💳💡
7. Buy and review the book using the same country’s Amazon account. For example, if you’re in Canada, purchase the book on Amazon Canada and post your review on Amazon Canada too. 🌍🇨🇦
8. Use your computer instead of the mobile app to buy and review the book. Sometimes, the app doesn’t register the review correctly. 💻✅
If you’ve followed all these tips and your snaps are removed after a review approval due to a missing Verified Purchase stamp, please submit a ticket to Customer Support with your receipt. We’ll return those snaps to you and help you understand what might have happened. 💌🛠️
