Hijacker (Listing Hijacking)
An unauthorized seller who attaches themselves to your product listing, often selling counterfeit or inferior versions. They "hijack" your ASIN to piggyback on your reviews and traffic.
What Is Listing Hijacking?
A hijacker is a seller who lists their product on YOUR ASIN - selling against your listing with potentially counterfeit, used, or lower-quality goods. They benefit from your reviews, images, and organic ranking while undercutting your price.
Signs of Hijacking
- Sudden loss of Buy Box share
- Increased negative reviews mentioning "different product" or "fake"
- New sellers appearing on your listing
- Unexpected price drops on your ASIN
