What was wrong, in plain words
- One boat shoe showed 2,147 'verified purchase' reviews. The reviews talked about a wool coat, a blazer and chinos. The store did about 300 orders a month.
- The checkout claimed '4.8 from more than 5,231 customers', a second invented number that did not even match the first.
- Every product ran a permanent sale against a price that never existed.
- The previous brand name was still in the product vendor field, the structured data, the social links and the store's own policy pages.
The store that was rejected carried fake stars, a fake checkout rating and a fake sale. The store that was approved carried none of them. Real screenshots; store name, website and account ID hidden.
