#500 - Big Amazon Review Change? & AM/PM 500th Episode | Weekly Buzz 2/27/26

Episode 500 Published 5 months, 1 week ago
Description

Amazon may be testing a major review change, with some shoppers seeing only 10 reviews unless they apply for more. Amazon clarifies its multiple account policy. Plus, it’s Episode 500 of the AM/PM Podcast!

We’re back with another episode of the Weekly Buzz with Helium 10’s VP of Education and Strategy, Bradley Sutton. Every week, we cover the latest breaking news in the Amazon, TikTok Shop, Walmart, and E-commerce space, talk about Helium 10’s newest features, and provide a training tip for the week for serious sellers of any level.

In this episode, we’re switching things up with a fresh new look, and it’s the perfect time because this is Episode 500 of the AM/PM Podcast! Join us for a quick trip down memory lane as we celebrate nearly 10 years of the AM/PM Podcast and keep Manny Coats’ classic “How cool is that? Pretty cool, I think.” spirit alive.

Amazon reviews might be acting weird again, and it could be more than just the usual “dog page” error some shoppers have seen for months. In this week’s first story, Bradley shares a new test showing up on certain customer accounts where you can only view 10 reviews and then have to “apply” to see more, with Amazon promising an email response within five business days. If this expands, it could push more shoppers toward Rufus-style review summaries rather than reading reviews directly, and it could significantly impact how sellers and tools analyze review data. Especially after Amazon’s crackdown that removed Helium 10’s Review Insights. The good news: the Helium 10 team is working on a new, fully “Amazon-compliant” version that still provides high-quality review insights, and Bradley asks viewers to share in the comments if they’re seeing the same review limits and whether they think it could roll out more widely.

If you’re in New York City, you can also catch Bradley in person at the ASGTG conference in Brooklyn on Thursday, March 5. It’s the 12th ASGTG event and his first time attending in eight years, so it’s a rare chance to meet up, network with sellers, and hear from a lineup of strong speakers. And yes, it’s famous for the food, apparently “Michelin-starred for an Amazon conference” levels, so come for the content and connections, and stay for the bites. Register here:
