Yup it’s the way she goes. But once you’re trademark registered fully you have a ton of control. You also have a legal trademark which gives you a lot of protection in the real world too
I’ve had 2 of my listings stolen. Twice!! Not hijacked like someone has my same product, but I loose control of my listing and someone is taking the profits. So basically hacked! Why is no one covering this problem. All videos talk about hijackers selling knockoffs.
I created an ASIN in 2015 that’s generated consistent sales. However I’ve suddenly found 3 Hijackers on the ASIN undercutting my prices. As a result I have went and got a pending Trademark and I’m recently registered in the Brand Registry. So, now that I have a trademark and Brand Registry, any recommendations for getting the hijackers off of my listing? I’ve bought their products and they’re a cheap knock offs and the packaging isn’t even close to what I created for the ASIN. Any recommendations for getting the hijackers off of my listing?

Did it work for you? did you have to buy it? Or did you do exactly what he said to buy it and even though you didn't have the item in your hands, did you lie to Amazon telling it that you did?
When reporting this now you are required to fill out something that says “by clicking submit you agree to the following” (basically stuff saying it’s in good faith and that you aren’t lying). Is this a problem since we haven’t actually received the purchased item yet?
I keep getting an email response from amazon saying "The order ID you provided was not valid". Any way to get around this? I am sure the order number entered is correct.
@@ItsYaniv Yes, I have purchased the the product using the same seller account. It keeps giving me the same error. Sometimes even after the error, the listing is removed, only to be back the next day. It's strange.
@@danyalahmed5139 I am having the same issue where Amazon declines because the order ID is invalid. 100% sure it's the one I have and I did purchased under my seller account. Any updates?
i am unable to purchase my product because they created the listing for mexico. They won't let me checkout because i am not using a mexican address.

I emailed them a threatening letter but they have not responded. Extremely frustrating.
Thank you really for the tips ! I've been strugling with an hijacker for 1 month and a simple plaint without putting the order number doesn't work. But this might finally work !
Thanks for the video. I will be trying your method but I had a question: Do you buy the hijackers product from your seller account that you use to sell the same product? Or can I use any seller account to purchase the product? Not sure if it mattered but thought of asking. Thanks in advance
Thanks! Question: Our hijacker is turning on and off their offer throughout the day. If we submit the Report a Violation while the hijacker is not on our listing, what will happen?
@@maggietesh4953 I think the only way is to catch them when they are on your listing. Otherwise, we did not have luck. We noticed that the listing from that seller was algorithmically controlled (apparently) because it was on and off at set times of day, so we timed them at the very start of the period. We also hit them with numerous Cease & Desist notices: one per day via the buyer-seller messaging system.
@@a.s.2426 so how long did it take for amazon to take them down. So far is day 2 for me. I sent 3 they did not accept because the time they take a look their offer is off my listing. I did send message to them through seller and buyer it did not work. They ignored. I sent 2 another complaints this morning and still get a email from Amazon. These hijackers are professional.
@@a.s.2426 I also escalated the case since they did not accept my complaint yesterday also screen shoot their offer and also the order. Also the email from Amazon. Hope this make them understand
Good video. Is there any way of getting rid of hijackers if your not brand registered. ?can you buy the product and then open a report a violation case
Thank you for this content, I was able to successfully report one of the hijackers. Now, they keep coming back and i placed new orders from them, but they won't be delivered for another 2 weeks and Amazon does not accept my order ID number saying it's invalid. Any advice? My trademark is still pending by the way. Thanks
i get this on the top of the page. Amazon respects a manufacturer's right to enter into distribution agreements for its products. However, breach of such third-party agreements do not constitute intellectual property infringement, and should not be reported through the Report a violation tool.
@@ItsYaniv its not distributor. its just a generic product which i am selling under my brand packaging. hijacker came like bee and set here on my listing.
I did try your method to report on my pending brand listing. But they didnt accept it. I dont know why. Do you know what might be the reason? I did make the purchase from the hijackers.
That's not immoral lying or anything. Because you are the creator of the product, you know the other sellers must be unauthorized or hijackers. There's no way once you receive the product that for some small reason you say "O this is actually a legit listing."
Hi brother what shall I do if amazon themselves are selling under my listing? I have brand registry and trademark registered. We don’t supply to anyone and sell only through our store. Still amazon has the stocks which is my private label. Reported amazon infringement on brand registry and they didn’t accept. Any suggestions?
Hi Lalit, you might have already found your answer, but I thought I should let you know what I know. The products that amazon are selling under your listing are mostly your lost inventory those are already reimbursed to you by amazon, so filling a complaint against amazon won't help. Besides, it's only limited quantity. As soon as those quantity is sold out, you won't see them again until the same thing happen again. Almost all of the seller see the amazon selling their products at one point or the other. This is my understanding. If I am wrong in any way, (anybody) please feel free to correct me.
Hi Yaniv, I have a valid trademark I got back in 2020. Recently an FBM hijacker jumped on my listing at $10 higher than me. I placed a test order, and he dropshipped the test order from my FBA offer. How would you proceed since it's not really a counterfeit? 1. Report him to Amazon that he is dropshipping. I know you are not supposed to dropship from marketplaces or retails and this is against Amazon TOS. While this would hurt this seller's metrics, not sure whether it would remove him from my listing? 2. Pretend I didn't know about the dropshipping, and open a case saying this seller is violating my trademark by using my brand name on his packaging and copying my exact box design and that we have never sold this to anyone. Not sure if this is a strong enough argument. 3. Add a warranty to the listing, and that makes them apparently ineligible to sell my product as only the main brand can offer the warranty, but my product is consumables and warranty does not make sense at all. I don't mind lying a bit here and there as what these people do is not fair, but my only concern is if Amazon asks for pictures of the product, I won't be able to prove this is counterfeit because it would look 100% identical to mine if I send the actual photos. I could potentially get my factory to make a dummy sample with my logo on it and send that as pictures of the product I received, but that would cost me sample fee and it would take a long time.
To be honest if it’s not really counterfeit you have no legal grounds here. These are the exact reasons Amazon set themselves up like this. It’s so that the customer can get other options for the same product
Thank you so much! I found this hijacker tutorial the most effective one yet. I have a pending trademark and your process worked ❤
That’s crazy that they make you register your brand pay all this money for a trademark and hijacking listings are still possible

Does not work for me. Amazon instantly flags the test buy as invalid since it has not arrived yet.
Thank you for the full explanation of the reporting process and best practices.
Did it work for you? did you have to buy it? Or did you do exactly what he said to buy it and even though you didn't have the item in your hands, did you lie to Amazon telling it that you did?
How can you remove someone from a grocery name-brand product that is dropping the price?
Just did this and it worked like a charm. Thanks

Happy to help!
Did it work?
This should be a class lawsuit
Do we need to do the test buy through the same amazon account? or we can use other account to do the test buy and collect the pictures etc?
It always says "Your infringement report is found to be invalid." within seconds. Why is that?
Mine did the same. Says in details that it might be because I have submitted other before as well recently.
Plz get make a video how we creat a complete list as a bigners with help of helium10
tried the second method. it got submitted. thanks a ton..
No worries happy to help
Thanks for the video ! How is possible that a hijacker can change my Images or Titel ?He don’t have my Login Passwort oder my Seller Account ?

Do you buy the hijackers product from your seller account that you use to sell the same product? Or can I use any seller account to purchase the product? Not sure if it mattered but thought of asking. Thanks in advance
You should use your seller account that you will be reporting from to buy the product
Also please advise can we create our own big brands bundles listing ??
Thanks! Question: Our hijacker is turning on and off their offer throughout the day. If we submit the Report a Violation while the hijacker is not on our listing, what will happen?
Not sure it will work for you but you can submit documentation to amazon while the offer is up and screenshot the seller

Must be different hijackers because once Amazon agrees to remove the hijacker they aren’t able to re list on the listing
