Can we do something about these china seller - hijackers?
I stopped selling on FBA a year ago—well, I was sort of forced out—due to hijackers taking over my listings that I worked hard to build up. A year later, I see my listings flooded with negative reviews and new sellers from China using fake addresses and business names. It's frustrating how Amazon can give me a hard time and restrict my account over an ID verification issue, yet fails to weed out these bad actors. I've taken steps to protect my trademark to avoid such issues, but these hijackers bypass the system effortlessly.
With Amazon's seller fees rising every year, it's disheartening how the platform has become chaotic for those who genuinely invest time and effort to launch and grow their products. Not to mention, the poor buying experience for customers who end up with low-quality products, long shipping times, and the frustration of dealing with hijacked listings offering the lowest prices. This has cost me and many others—both sellers and buyers—thousands of dollars over time. Amazon must be aware of this issue, and at this point, it seems like negligence.
Amazon = Wild

Totally agree, i don't know how amazon allow these bad actors to do what they do. it took me all year to build up my page, doing things correctly. Spend thousands of dollars on Brand registry, hundreds on marketing, hundreds on pay per click to finally have my page start selling decent amount of products. a week before the biggest holiday season a hi jacker comes on to my listing and under cuts my pricing.
It will take me weeks to get this resolved and by that time the heart of the holiday shopping season is over. It is not fair, just impossible to compete with these hi jackers. I actually ordered their product and their company is based in Texas, but the item is being shipped from China. They are drop shipping cheap items from China under my listings.
Its 2024, AMAZON needs to protect their sellers!!
