They used to email prompt you for reviews, or prompt you for reviews whenever you signed in. Now they don’t do either, and even if I manually check the backlog of orders, the review time windows have all expired. So I never review anything anymore.

Seems like a strange decision. I don’t understand how that is helping buyers or sellers.

Forgot they used to do that. The receipt emails also fail to mention the time limit policy, causing many more people to miss their chance. For one-off handmade products, reviews are more important than most other marketplaces.

The time limit also prevents you from calling out fraudulent import resellers when you later discover the fraud.

Which may be the actual intended consequence.
