    Better write your own content.

    If you want to pull some reviews from their site you can use some plugin that gets them through an API.

    Many marketers used to build amazon sites which directly scrape the content from the amazon website but the best way to go would be through doing video or text reviews of amazon products in a particular niche. You can create an automated amazon affiliate website in just one day but Google would consider it a thin affiliate site. It is better to build original stuff on your amazon site to get higher rankings and never be afraid of Google updates.

    There are still many amazon affiliates sites which has duplicate content and are ranking for very good keywords but then you never know when they go down. These are set-up by marketers who are ready to make money for 3-4-6 months by getting higher rankings and if it goes down they will have other sites up and ready.

    All the best for your Amazon site

    To avoid being sandboxed, you need to add a lot of value besides content scraped from Amazon. Why would Google send searchers to your site if they could send them directly where they want to go? Google's intent is to send searchers to what they are looking for, not some intermediary.

    You can count on Google burying scraped Amazon pages in Supplemental SERPs. Google has said in the past that they look at scraped ecommerce a bit different than for example a regular blog.

    You might get away with scraped Amazon pages for a while but I wouldn't consider it a long term option.

      You know what's odd, huge platforms still get away with it, just to name a few:

      - eBay
      - ShopWiki
      - Shopping.Yahoo
      - Shopping.com
      - Amazon.co.uk
      - Shopzilla.com
      - Amazon.ca

      And nothing in the supplemental SERP's but when we do it...

      Talking about the biggest scraper sites on the net here with all those shopping platforms.

      Over monetized? Not at all:

      Can't even call it a comparison site cause when you type something in it comes up with complete different models. check yourself:
