How do you know that your listing has been hijacked?

How do you know when your Amazon product listing has been hijacked? What can you do once that unfortunate event has occurred? On this episode of The Amazing Seller, Scott goes over what to look for, how to respond to a hijacked listing, and most importantly, how to prevent a hijacking from occurring in the first place. According to Scott, most hijacking occurs when you give the product away at a discount. To respond once a hijacking has occurred, Scott says to follow the Amazon procedure to contest the seller who is taking advantage of your listing. You can protect yourself from future hijackings by making sure you are brand registered and you have solid branding on your products with pictures of your branding in your product listing.
