How to appeal Listing Hijacking on Amazon
Unauthorized sellers attaching to your product listing or hijacking ASINs
Listing Hijacking sits under listing-violations, a family of issues Amazon reviews when evaluating seller performance, catalog integrity, and buyer experience. When Seller Performance or another Amazon team flags this issue, they look for evidence that you understand what triggered the notice, what you changed operationally, and how you will prevent a repeat.
Common issues sellers hit on Listing Hijacking appeals include incomplete documentation, mismatched ASINs or order IDs, and Plans of Action that skip a verifiable root cause. Required documents come from the notice itself: invoices, tracking, supplier letters, process screenshots, or metric exports that match the ASINs and dates Amazon cited.
Use the guides on this page before you open or update a case in Seller Central. Timelines vary by case complexity and how complete your first submission is.
