Negative Review Violation Check
Paste a negative review from one of your Amazon listings to see whether it breaks Amazon policy. Being negative isn't a violation; only reviews that break the policy can be reported. If a review is honest, however harsh, we say so. Checks run on a free OptimalCentral account. If a review breaks the policy, connect your Amazon account to see how to report it, with a written report ready to paste.

Start free trial →What Amazon doesn't allow in reviews
A review that breaks Amazon policy in any of these ways can be reported:
- Only about the seller, the order, or shipping
- Pricing or availability for one buyer
- Private information
- External links
- Promotion or a conflict of interest
- Profanity, harassment, or hate speech
- Sexual content, illegal activity, or medical claims
- Spam and unsupported languages
- Plagiarism or impersonation
Amazon reviews each report and decides what to do. Nobody outside Amazon can guarantee a review comes down; a service that promises it doesn't control the outcome.
Frequently asked questions
Will Amazon remove a review just because it is negative?
No. Amazon policy allows honest positive and negative experiences with a product. Reviews that break the policy are the ones that can be reported and removed.
Does this tool report the review for me?
No. You submit every report yourself, and Amazon decides what happens next.
What happens to the review I paste?
We don't store the review text. If it can be reported, we keep the result, a fingerprint of the text so we can recognize it in Review Violation Check, and the report we prepared, which can quote the review, for 24 hours, then delete them. The text itself stays in your browser for the pickup. See our privacy policy.
Why do I need to connect my Amazon account to get the report?
We only prepare reports for reviews on products you sell. Connecting lets us confirm the ASIN is yours, so the tool can't be used against other sellers' reviews. The tool never reports, posts, or contacts anyone for you.
