How to Remove Amazon Hijackers? If you’re looking to report an Amazon seller, then you’re in the right place. In the Amazon business, we typically call them hijackers and they’re becoming a real threat. Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear they’re going away anytime soon. But don’t let this keep you from starting your own Amazon Business.
Here’s a template I use. Feel free to copy it word for word or alter it however you like, but rest assured that it’ll make an impact.
1st Notice: Threatening Letter Example
| Hi [Amazon Seller],We see that you are also selling [Your Brand] product. However, We have created the [Your Brand] from scratch, and have never resold any wholesale items to any other reseller. We own the brand and have not authorized you or anyone else, to sell [Your Brand] items on Amazon. If you are selling a different brand, while posturing as [Your Brand], then you are selling counterfeit products, which is something that Amazon takes very seriously and will shut down your account without warning. If you do not remove your product from the [Your Brand] listing within 24 hours, We will have to contact Amazon and issue a formal Cease and Desist letter. This is obviously not an ideal situation for either of us, so I hope that you take heed of this note and remove your product from [Our Brand] listing immediately. Thank you for your prompt attention.Sincerely,Your Name, CEO [Your Brand] |
