What I am gonna do with this Youtuber?

EXACTLY! There is no need to pay anyone to review your product.

First of all, paying for reviews under any circumstance is shady. What are the chances of someone you paid to review your product giving you a negative review? The answer is SLIM TO NONE. Why? Well, for one, if they want your repeat business they aren't going to say anything bad about your product. Therefore, what you are getting is essentially a "fake" review.

Second, if you want to get reviews, giving the person your product should be more than enough. They are getting your product for free, which is good for them, and since they aren't getting paid, it gives them a little more incentive to be honest about your product. Even so, this is still not a great tactic, because IMO, it's still a form of a paid review. The reviewer may not say anything negative because they want to get your products for free in the future.

The only honest, true review comes from a person who has dished out their own hard-earned money to purchase your product. This person has no motivation for bias and is almost certain to be honest (sometimes painfully so), which as a product creator, you should welcome with open arms.

Paying someone for a review, whether it be with cash or merchandise, is simply not cool IMO. I know that even big corporations give away their products to social media influencers to review, but it's a bit different if the person is a YouTuber with hundreds of thousands (or millions) of subscribers. A person in that situation is not going to lie to his subscribers and risk destroying his credibility and reputation just to receive a free product.

"Incentivized" reviews can be OK in the above example, but paying someone cash or giving them your product in exchange for a review when they have nothing to lose is not going to result in a good outcome.

As far as the $200, your only recourse is to file a dispute. PP has been siding with buyers much more as of late in regard to digital products and services, so you may have a chance. If you paid with a credit card, you can file a charge back and the success rate there is almost 100%.

Bottom line - Don't pay for reviews like this again. This whole thing may just be the universe teaching you a hard lesson.

At any rate, I hate to see anyone get scammed or ripped off, and what was done to you was wrong. You were stolen from, and that sucks on every level.

I do hope you recover your money.

That's why I said the only truly honest review comes from a buyer who has purchased the product.

Sadly, most affiliates never purchase or even obtain review copies of the products they review, so those cannot be considered "real" reviews, since the only motivation for the review is to make them money.

I'm proud to say that I never review products that I don't actually own. I will admit, however, that I don't write reviews if a product is bad. As an affiliate, it does me no good to use my time writing a negative review about a product.

So, all of the reviews on my blog (with the exception of 1 or 2), are positive. However, that's only because I actually went through the product with a fine-toothed comb and found the product to be great.

Basically, if a product is bad, I won't recommend or review it. If a product is great, I'll take the time to make an in-depth "behind the scenes" video and write a detailed review.

Now, the reason I'm able to own all of the products I review is because I am an established enough affiliate that I very rarely have to actually purchase a product. I simply have to ask for a review copy. If the product sucks, though, I won't review it or recommend it just to make a buck. It goes right in the recycle bin.

I understand the reason why a lot of new affiliates write glowing reviews about products they have never even seen. They don't have the money to buy every product they want to promote, and they are not established enough yet to get review copies given freely to them.

I don't think it's the best thing to do, but I can't really say anything bad about newbies who do it, since just about all of them do. I'll be honest. I did it myself when I was just starting out.

It's kind of like the old "catch 22" when you are young and looking for your first serious job in your career field. Nobody wants to hire you without experience, but how do you get the experience you need if nobody will hire you?
