Vine Program Concluded with one review and enrolled less than a month ago!?
Do other sellers have similar experiences? I eagerly await Vine reviews every day, but it seems that as soon as I receive first review, it gets Concluded! I've noticed other sellers who offer similar products receiving reviews consistently from January to April, spanning four to five months. I can't understand why my Vine review were closed after receiving only one review in less than a month. It's really puzzling! How does Amazon operate Vine Program? Is it truly a fair and transparent system?!

Vine products still have to be picked by reviewers and as for me, I'd want something I feel positive about, because I wouldn't even order something I already know I wont leave a positive review for.
You got 4 Whiskey Glasses for $60, that retail elsewhere for $43. They are not very attractive and really have nothing to make them stand out.
If no reviewer picks them they simply wont get reviews.

Hi @Seller_Cm4JcBsU6VGedand thanks for sharing your question here on the Seller Forums. I'm Danika from the Community Manager team.
I have some links that I hope will be helpful to you to learn more about how Vine works:
- Here's an Amazon Vine overview, including a Seller University video on "How to Drive Traffic Using Amazon Vine."
- The Vine frequently asked questions help page is extensive and detailed, with loads of information about how it all works. I thought these two questions (and answers) might be especially useful for you:
"What happens to the units that have not been requested by Vine Voices? The units remain available to be sold as FBA units.
Why were some of my units not reviewed? There is no deadline for Vine Voices to write reviews for the products they receive through Vine. We track our Vine Voices' active participation in the program, and they may be removed from Vine if they do not meet our participation criteria.
I enrolled an item in Vine but did not get a review. Will I pay for this enrollment? No, we bill you for the enrollment after the publication of the first Vine review."
While I don't see your exact question here, I do hope these resources assure you that the program is transparent and fair. If you're lacking in reviews, I'd imagine it's as @Seller_4zBzdtgCyS9EIstates--that the reviewers get to pick what they want to review, and your product has not been picked by many.
I hope this is helpful. Please let me know if you have any additional questions for me.
Best,

Hi again @Seller_Cm4JcBsU6VGedone quick note I forgot to include above, regarding this:
If you click on the circle next to a seller's name, it points you to their profile page. Looking at @Seller_4zBzdtgCyS9EI's profile, you'll see they're an active, valued member of our community and long-time sellers/participant in the Forums. I've learned a ton from them.
I understand the nuances you've included here that you believe may have been overlooked, but rest assured, they are experienced as an Amazon seller. :)
The linked circle is a great way to see how engaged different sellers are on the forums, so I wanted to be sure to point it out.
Have a great day, and thanks again for reaching out on the forums!
Best,
- Danika
