Feedback Genius Review – Get More Positive (and Eliminate Negative) Feedback

November 9, 2016 By Stephen Smotherman 12 Comments

Most Amazon sellers will agree: It takes a verrrrrry looooooong time to build up your feedback on the Amazon platform. Most Amazon customers aren’t accustomed to leaving seller feedback for FBA purchases, at least not with the same frequency as eBay customers leave seller feedback.
