Too bad, I would have liked this data . But this is un-ethical and it makes sense they caught onto it sooner or later.

They could simply ban Chinese sellers because I can tell you guys: More than 80% of these fake reviews, hijacking of listings and other blackhat stuff, is coming from them....and Amazon is doing shit about it so far. Its like they are using Amazon.com and the European marketplaces as a playground. Go and join some Amazon seller Facebook groups, you will be surprised how much shit is going on and the bad guys are always the same.
