If you are purchasing an item that is eligible for a product review, a review might be helpful to other purchasers of that item. A review can be written at any time and there is no requirement that the review be written by a verified purchaser. Anyone who has first-hand knowledge about a product can write a product review. Keep in mind that a product review is about the item and not about the seller.
On the other hand, seller "feedback" is about the seller and can only be given within 60 days of purchase from that seller.
I currently do not see any benefit to a purchaser who takes the time to write a review, so it is a labor of love. I've written many guides and reviews over the years, and when I write a product eview, I want buyers to understand what they are getting with that product.
