Is importing product reviews from Amazon/Ebay/Aliexpress legal or not ??
I could not find accurate rules by the companies preventing the use of reviews. Can we say this is public data without any issue ?
When dealing with anything legal, I would contact the source to make sure you’re covered.
-
Contact Amazon through Seller Support and ask them if you can use the reviews from your Amazon products on your website.
-
If they say yes, save the email for your records in case something changes in the future, or if the person was incorrect.
Another idea, consult with a copyright lawyer familiar with digital copyright. For example, in some cases for online content you have to ask the owner for permission, in some cases you can use if you link back.
My guess would be that you can import reviews, if you link to the source, you could then link people to your Amazon store for example to cover that base, and I think Amazon would be happy with the link and driving traffic to Amazon, so they wouldn’t penalize you. Just a guess though! You never know until you contact them.
They could all have different policies.
