Amazon - £5 for withdrawing feedback - Would you?

I would report them to Amazon myself because this is bribery in all but name

Ask yourself how badly do you want the £5 or need it? Myself would take it because £5 is £5 and would feed my cat for a week.

Ask yourself if you would have bought the set if you'd seen negative feedback posted by someone ? Then think if preventing the same hassle for someone else is worth not getting a fiver ?

Take the £5. Leave the feedback!

Depends if you trust them to send you £5.00 after you have removed the feedback.They sure won't trust you to remove it after sending the fiver to you.

Tell them to send you the fiver then dont remove the feedback :rotfl:

I would tell them where to go.

If they gave bad service to all customers, and offered say 100 customers a fiver to remove bad feedback - and all duly did this - it has cost them £500 and they look fantastic.......

Let it stand, tell Amazon - and in fact as someone else suggested - amend your feedback to ".... and then the company tried bribing me with a fiver to remove negative feedback".

Please do the right thing, for the sake of a fiver, and leave the negative feedback. Think of it from the other side - you are a new customer and using the company for the first time, and there is no negative feedback - you would then use them. However if there was some negative feedback, you will think twice about using them (you may still use them - but at least then you can make a more "informed" choice!)

Don't take it, its blood money.

We are supposed to be moneysaving not money grabbing.

You would have saved yourself a lot of hassle (and money travelling to and from PO) if someone else had said how bad the service was and you'd gone elsewhere.

I bet your product cost a lot more than £5 so not really much in the way of compensation for your agro.

This is a despicable [FONT=&quot][/FONT]way for a company to behave, name and shame them on Amazon.

This just doesn't seem right to me - but then £5 is £5. What do you think?

I bought something through Amazon from a seller, Linens Limited. They were nice on the phone but the sale was a disaster from start to finish. I left negative feedback - which I feel was deserved. I just had an email from LL offering me a £5 refund if I withdraw the feedback.

I wouldn't mind £5, but can't help but think this makes a mockery of the whole idea of leaving feedback and that it shouldn't be allowed. So... would you take the money or stick to your ethics?

For me ethics win, And people will know what you went through.
They can then make an informed choice.
