No Reviewing Until Amazon Comes Through

You read and write your review for OBC. Then the author asks if you would write a review for Amazon. The message says that it is not mandatory but only as a favor. You agree and submit a review on Amazon. Amazon then might take up to a week to ten days to publish that review. You are then stuck in limbo because OBC won't let you select another book to review until your review on Amazon is published. It says, "You will not be shown review opportunities until the issues above are addressed." I suggest that OBC continues to let you review books, as it is only a favor to the author. Why take away our reviewing privileges? There must be some way to get around this in the software program. Maybe let us submit the screenshot from Amazon that says, "Thank you for the review! We'll let you know when it is published!" Anyway, just a suggestion, as this is supposed to be the "Suggestion Box".

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out. I am sorry for the delayed response. As far as I know, if the author has requested an Amazon review later, it does not affect your ability to access the Select page. Are you saying it does? If so, can you please share a screenshot when this happens again? Thank you for bringing this up.

Please let me know if you have any other questions. Have a great day.

Thank you.
