What this page shows
Every Amazon store publishes its own review rules on two pages, Community Guidelines and Customer Reviews. They are not copies of amazon.com's pages. A rule can be worded more broadly, more narrowly, or not appear at all.
This page compares the rules of every Amazon store we read reviews on, 17 in all, with amazon.com's rules, one rule family at a time. It is built from 52 of Amazon's own pages, which we read on November 10, 2026.
Amazon can change these pages at any time. Each store below links to its own pages, so you can check the current wording before you rely on it.
We judge every review against the rules of the store it was written on, and we quote that store's own wording in the case.
The rule families
Amazon's pages list many separate rules. We group them into 13 families a seller will recognise.
| Rule family | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Seller, order and shipping feedback | Reviews about delivery, shipping cost, packaging, returns, ordering problems or the seller, rather than the product. |
| Product condition on arrival | Reviews about an item that arrived damaged, used, incomplete, not working or expired. |
| Pricing and availability | Comments about the price one buyer paid, or about where the product is available. |
| Profanity, harassment and hate speech | Obscene language, name-calling, threats, attacks on people and hateful remarks. |
| Private information | Phone numbers, email addresses, mailing addresses, order numbers and other personal details. |
| Promotion and conflicts of interest | External links, affiliate codes, promotion, and reviews by competitors or people close to the brand. |
| Paid or incentivised reviews | Reviews written, changed or removed in exchange for money, products, refunds or other rewards. |
| Spam and repetitive text | Repeated text, gibberish, content that is not a review, copied content and posts meant to drown out others. |
| Medical and unsafe claims | Claims about preventing or curing medical conditions, and encouraging dangerous use of a product. |
| Illegal content | Content that encourages illegal activity such as violence, drug use, underage drinking or fraud. |
| Sexual content | Nudity and sexually explicit images or descriptions. |
| Language | Reviews written in a language the store does not support. |
| Review before delivery or not based on the product | Reviews posted before the product was delivered, or not based on actual experience with the product. |
How to read the comparison
Each store's rule family is in one of four states. We decide the state from our record of the store's own pages, the same record we check cases against.
- Same as amazon.com: The store states every rule in the family, and we found no difference in scope from amazon.com.
- Stated, with different wording: The store states every rule in the family, and its wording differs from amazon.com's in a way we noted. The store's entry gives the note and Amazon's own sentence.
- Partly stated: The store states some rules in the family and not others. The store's entry names the ones it does not state.
- Not stated on this store: Neither of the store's pages states any rule in the family. A review cannot break a rule the store does not have.
Every store against amazon.com

What this page does not tell you
- Amazon makes every removal decision.
- A rule on a store's page is not a promise that a report on that store succeeds.
- We have walked through Amazon's report form signed in on amazon.com only.
- This page compares the rules we check cases against. A store's pages can hold other rules too.
- This page is a reading aid, not legal advice.
