I think that integrity is priceless. It can't be bought for £5 or any amount of money, as far as I'm concerned.0

Kiss her; pleasure her. Kneel to her; lavish her. Assert to her; let her guide you. Obey her as you know how; Surrender is so wonderful! For Caroline my Goddess.0

I would report them to Amazon for attempting to bribe you. Amazon may well offer you a discount voucher for telling them.0

Thanks for all the answers - great to see such different opinions! I have sent an email to Amazon reporting them and will see what they have to say. If they don't seem to mind then I shall try and claim the £5 - there are lots of other people leaving positive feedback so tbh my negative feedback is pretty lost already! The question is, was I just a one-off disaster or do lots of people take the £5?!

I guess that means you've lost the £5 though.Trev. Having an out-of-money experience!
C'MON! Let's get this debt sorted!!0 -
I would report them to Amazon myself because this is bribery in all but nameI would report them to Amazon for attempting to bribe you. Amazon may well offer you a discount voucher for telling them.
They may have sent a email saying otherwise, but this is official procedure in all but name. You are meant to negotiate your way out of negative feedback, and Amazon don't like to get involved.
I would have took the £5. Once you've posted that feedback, or indeed had a refund, it counts as a order defect and Amazon are very strict about how many defects you can have.This is my opinion. There are many others like it but this is mine:kisses2: Fiancee of the "lovely" DaveAshton :kisses2:I am a professional ebay seller. I work hard at my job, I love my job, if you think it's silly that's your problem not mine.0 -
I can understand that they encourage a customer to add to feedback after a probelem has been resolved, but to encourage a company to offer bribes to get the customer to remove feedback is unacceptable.
How do you know this is policy in all but name?0 -
On the other hand, I have bought a fair amount from Linens Direct and my bedding is lovely and still is after a year's usage.
And no, I don't work for them!0
