Amazon Voice of the Customer 2025: What Sellers Must Know
As of September 30, 2025, Amazon officially retired the Customer Reviews dashboard and transitioned all sellers to the Voice of the Customer (VoC) program. The VoC system measures CX Health and NCX rates to determine product experience quality, replacing the manual review metrics many brands relied on. According to Amazon’s announcement, this shift impacts how seller teams monitor performance and respond to product issues.
For serious sellers, one of the biggest risks now comes from AI “Fix Recommendations” inside VoC. While these are designed to improve listings, many contain language that violates Amazon’s product detail or advertising policies, leading to instant listing suppressions.
How Amazon Voice of the Customer 2025 Works
The Voice of the Customer dashboard tracks order feedback, return comments, and refund rates to calculate CX Health. Each product receives a score that can range from “Excellent” to “Very Poor.” If your NCX rate rises, Amazon may automatically flag your listings and suggest “Fix” edits that update copy, attributes, or images.
The challenge is that these suggested edits are often generated by AI and can add prohibited or unverifiable claims. Implementing them without human or legal review may trigger listing takedowns or even policy violations under Product Detail Page Rules as defined by Amazon Seller Central.
Why AI Fix Recommendations Can Cause Suspensions
AI-generated “Fix” edits can unintentionally insert:
Noncompliant health or performance claims
False compatibility statements
Unsubstantiated warranty or certification data
Once saved, those edits go live across the catalog and can immediately trigger restricted-product or trademark policy violations, leading to listing removals or account-level action.

Use the VoC dashboard to track improvements and verify that compliant edits actually reduce NCX rates.
When Your Listing Is Already Down
If a VoC “Fix” caused a suppression, appeal through Account Health with a concise explanation and supporting documentation showing compliance. Attach your prior listing copy, supplier verification, and product images.
When Amazon ignores valid appeals, escalate through Executive Seller Relations. If your compliant listing remains suppressed or if your funds are held, your attorney can invoke rights under the Business Solutions Agreement (BSA) and proceed to arbitration for reinstatement.
