Amazon hijackers are one of the biggest threats to legitimate Amazon Sellers—especially those trying to make money on Amazon the right way. These hijackers jump onto your listing, duplicate your ASIN, sell counterfeit items, and steal your Buy Box.

If you want to protect your brand, your revenue, and your customers, knowing how to detect hijackers directly on the Amazon website is the first step. In this guide, we’ll walk through exactly how to spot hijackers, what to do next, and how experts like EHP Consulting Group can help you remove counterfeit products fast.

What Exactly Is an Amazon Hijacker?

A “hijacker” is someone who lists on YOUR product listing—usually selling fake, low‑quality, or unauthorized products at a lower price just to steal your sales.

This leads to:

Lost Buy Box control
Negative reviews
Listing suppression
Brand damage
Angry customers

How to Check for Hijackers on Amazon (Desktop)

You don’t need any software. You don’t need Seller Central.
You can identify hijackers directly on the Amazon product page:

1. Open your product listing on Amazon

Go to the live detail page of your ASIN.

2. Look for the “Other Sellers on Amazon” box

Scroll below the Buy Box.
If you see additional sellers offering your exact product—and you did not authorize them—you have hijackers.

3. Click “New (X) from $XX.XX”

This expands the full list of sellers.
Look for:

Unknown store names
Extremely low prices
No branding
“Just Launched” seller accounts

These are the biggest red flags.

4. Check the shipping (FBA, FBM, Prime)

Hijackers often use:

FBM (Fulfilled by Merchant)
Generic Prime shipping
No branding

5. Compare seller names to your authorized list

If you are brand registered, your listing should only show YOU or approved resellers.

Why Hijackers Must Be Removed Immediately

Waiting too long can cause:

ASIN suspension
Listing deletion
Bad reviews from counterfeit buyers
Account health violations
Permanent Buy Box loss

Amazon will not “fix it for you” unless you submit evidence and formal documentation.

This is why brands hire an Amazon counterfeit removal expert like EHP Consulting Group.
