It’s Amazon Prime Day, normally, most private label Amazon sellers would be looking forward to the boost in sales, but make no mistake!
The Amazon platform had been completely taken over by Chinese black hat fraudsters. If you are a private label seller and have a bunch of Chinese counterfeiters who copied your listings, most likely all of your best selling ASINs are Adult-flagged and suppressed from search results right now.
Masses of private label sellers are affected and all of their best-selling ASINs are hidden from sale.
What is happening?
-
Chinese seller pays for a black hat service, constituting the insertion of sexual keywords into your listings through inventory files.
-
Your listing is spammed with sexual keywords, which randomly appear in all available listing fields, such as “Material composition” or “Fur style”, which are filed with words such as “Adult Sex Toys For Women” or “Vaginal Clitoral Vibrator”.
-
The listing triggers Amazon’s automated bots that scan for adult products, it is classified as “Adult” and hidden from search results.
-
You will spend weeks opening cases and desperately demanding restoration of the ASINs, while the Chinese scammer enjoys sales.
-
As soon as your listing is restored, the cycle continues and new attack follows immediately.
Only on Amazon!!!
