I&#x27;ve started giving 1-star ratings to both the product and seller, for those that do this &quot;email begging for a review&quot; thing.  Frankly, I regard it as spam, and treat them as such.<p>It&#x27;s really ironic when a seller asks me to rate their item... when I already have given it a 5-star review + appropriate worded comment.  It becomes a 1-star review, etc.<p>There is no excuse for spam.
