Is It Possible to Delete Fake Reviews on eBay?

There are a few ways that you can potentially get fake reviews removed from your eBay account. If you need to know how to , you should start by trying one of these methods:

Ask the reviewer to kindly remove the fake review.
Go to eBay itself to have the review removed.

In order for eBay to consider removing the review for you, you will need to prove to them that you took steps to correct the issues that the seller has raised in their review. This means that you need to prove that the remarks left by the seller were inaccurate in some way.

That is not always easy to prove, but you may do so by presenting evidence that the reviewer did not actually purchase the product that they left a review on. That is something that eBay takes seriously, and they are likely to remove a negative review if you can show them something like that.

Why You Should Report Fake Reviews

It doesn’t matter if eBay is your side business or main source of income. If you don’t protect your business from slanderous reviews you could lose your reputation and your livelihood. You should report fake reviews to:

Provide accurate feedback	Making sure the information that the wider world receives about your business is fair and accurate.
Protect your business from slander	People will get the wrong impression about who you are and how you operate if you are constantly bombarded by fake reviews that make your business appear a certain way.

Why Would eBay Delete A Fake Review?

Perhaps you are concerned that eBay will not act in your best interest to remove a review that they cannot independently verify is a fake review. It is fair to wonder why a company would get itself involved in a dispute like this, but eBay actually will do so if they agree with the complainant that the review is a fake. The reasons why they might get involved include:

The review violates their terms of service.
The review is misleading for other shoppers on their platform.
The review is a personal attack on the seller.

There are many reasons why eBay might step in between a buyer and seller on the platform in order to settle a dispute of some kind. They don't want to get more involved than absolutely necessary, but they will take steps to make sure everyone on the platform is treated fairly and with respect.

What Can I Do if eBay Refuses to Remove the Review?

You have a limited number of options for what you can do if eBay refuses to remove the fake review. You do retain the following options:

Respond on your account so others can see that there is a dispute.
Reach out to the unhappy customer to see if you can make things right and have them change the review.
File a claim in small claims court. (if the review is defamatory)

Most people don't want to take things all the way into a courtroom, but there are some scenarios where this may be nearly the only option left available to you. If the defamatory comments are costing you a lot of business, then the time to play nice is over. You have to do what you have to do, and that may mean filing a claim in small claims court to get this handled.
