I have given negative reviews when needed but haven't had any issues.

His problem is finding new niche things for amazon... He only sells one item, but as baby boomers pass out of the corporate world his sales will go down. Also he says if you want to sell successfully, you should track amazon seller analytics

He isn't selling jump to conclusions doormats, is he?

Another deceptive tactic they use to fool buyers is lumping a product with few reviews with a different one with many 5-star reviews.
