VAT riddle, Can you solve?

[A K]

So what is the actual end point of this transaction...

I pull out £10 from my business bank account to buy amazon gift card which I then load up on an amazon account "B" to purchase a product from myself on my seller account "A". The product is not actually sent out.

I do this so I can then leave a positive VERIFIED REVIEW on my product listing.

I am VAT registered

In this transaction I will incur amazons commission (15% ex vat) on the £10 so will receive £8.50 (£8.20 if amazon VAT included)

Can I sell my product to myself as a zero rated supply?

If not and I sell it to myself at standard rate then... on the £10 I spend from account "B" into account "A" £1.66 (10/6) will be output VAT so from £10 I will loose (£1.66 output vat + £1.50 commission)

Or the £1.66 output VAT that is charged on the order to account "B" can I claim that back since it is a sale to myself

Account "B" is any account which I use to make the order from. Friends, family, neighbors etc

What do you lot think can I class the sale as a zero rated "sale"?

Since really it is just me spending 15% to be able to leave a review.... a "promotional expense"

Any advise?

Seems like a lot of hassle to try and game the review system. The point of verified reviews is that they are genuine, not for rogue sellers to mislead their customers with fake reviews.
