Unfair Business Practices

I finally heard from amazon but they didn't say much. 

Your Account Amazon.com Message From Customer Service Hello, We have determined that you have violated our Customer Review Creation Guidelines. As a result, we have suppressed all of your reviews, and you will no longer be able to post reviews on Amazon.com. We made this decision after carefully considering your reviewing account. This decision is final. We cannot share any further information about our decision, and we may not reply to further emails about this issue. Best regards, Review Moderator Amazon.com Looks like I won't be posting on Amazon. I have no reason why they won't let me and I'll understand if authors decide to stop having me review for them. Respectfully, Melanie

No Word Yet From Amazon

I tried to post a new review on several Amazon sites but had no luck. This message is what I see.

Sorry, we are unable to accept your review of this product for either one or both of the following reasons:

Your previous review of this product did not comply with our Customer Reviews Guidelines. Amazon does not permit reviews from customers whose relationship to the product or seller may be perceived as biased.

I've never been warned by them or even received an email stating they were taking them down. This whole thing is ridiculous. Please bear with me.

If, after all the information I've given you, you decide to stop having me review for you. I completely understand. 

Again, Thank You

Melanie 

If you were me and lived in Cuba by Carole P. Roman

  Winter is here so why don't we take a trip to Cuba? Cuba is an island in the Caribbean. There are so many things to see and do. We can go shopping or explore a real Spanish Fort. We could play at the beach before we go exploring again.

     This book is colorful, friendly and exciting. Well written and characters children can relate to. It's the perfect tool for parents. You can use this to "travel" with your children. It will give them a cultural lesson. Ms. Roman's approach to children with this series is the best I've seen. Wonderful books your child will never tire of.

     I found no issues.

     I gave this one 5 cheers out of 5 because it's a teaching tool (which I love) and it's a fun read.

ATTENTION!! IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!

To All Authors:

I am making this announcement so everyone will know. I DID NOT remove any reviews. They were removed by Amazon. Why? This is the question I've been trying to get answered. No one knows why so far. My profile page on Amazon has been wiped clean. 

I continue to contact them to try and get answers although I wonder if a certain disgruntled Author contacted them and complained. I have no proof yet. I'm still working on it. I have explained the situation to them extensively. It seems more complicated than they can handle. 

Please, give me some time before you all decide to lynch me or spread false news. I work hard for my good reputation. I'm furious with them for causing all this trouble with the reviews and my reputation.

I appreciate you checking in here and for your patience. I can't imagine why they did this. I follow their guidelines to the letter and if I miss something, the Authors will contact me so I can fix it.  

Thank you so much,

Melanie
