There is a way to fake that many positive reviews, there as a recent report put out that showed and explained how they do it.I've definitely seen reviews that looked like shills. If there are only a few reviews, I pay particular attention. If there are 5000 reviews and they have 4.5 stars, I assume they couldn't fake that many positive reviews.
The reason for it is that the more negative the reviews the lower on the list your item will be listed, so people have figured out how to game the system to get their stuff listed first even if it's new and should have no reviews.I wonder what it is about Amazons review system that makes the sellers freak out?
