Overview

If you come across an irrelevant or inappropriate product or seller review that was left on one of your Walmart Marketplace listings, you may be eligible to have it removed. Walmart can't modify customer reviews but if the review meets the removal criteria, we may be able to remove it from Walmart.com. In this guide, you’ll learn about the different situations when a review can be removed and you’ll find out how to submit your request.

Eligibility criteria

To request the removal a review, one of the following conditions must exist:

Incorrect star rating: The stars do not match the sentiment expressed. For instance, the review says that the seller is excellent but the seller received a 2-star rating.
Inappropriate feedback: The review contains a comment that is inappropriate or vulgar, such as profanity or slander.
Walmart issue: The review reflects a negative experience caused by a Walmart system issue at no fault of the seller. These requests must include supporting evidence.

What should I do?

If your circumstance falls within one of the criteria listed above, create a case for Seller Support through the following path: My Account > Performance Issues > Report Inaccurate Reviews.

Notes

Customers can leave a “Ratings Only" review. Walmart does not require a comment with seller ratings. If the customer does not leave a comment, the review will not be removed.

Frequently asked questions

How long will it take to receive a response on my removal request?

The review that I want to remove is old. Can I still request that it be removed?

The review I received is damaging to my business. Can it be removed?

Can Walmart remove a review that was added through review syndication?

I submitted a request for review removal but my request was denied. Why?

There are several reasons your request may be denied. For instance, Walmart cannot remove reviews due to misuse of the product or incorrect information given unless there is associated risk of injury or liability. Additionally, Walmart cannot remove any content if the requester is not directly affiliated with the impacted client site, for instance a brand requesting the removal of a native retailer review. For specific details on why your request was denied, consult the correspondence you received from Seller Support.
