We all know that competition on the Amazon platform is very fierce, and some sellers will take some malicious operations, such as changing pictures.
This is very dangerous because Amazon will not notify other sellers of changes to product images, which provides opportunities for bad sellers with very serious consequences.
First of all, manufacturers will continue to change product packaging, so the packaging of goods on the shelves can also be diversified, but these products have the same UPC code and the products in the packaging are also the same. In this case, the best way is to add a description and picture of the product packaging, and strictly follow Amazon’s process to complete this step, because Amazon requires relevant evidence.
Secondly, since different models of a product have the same UPC code, other sellers can change the pictures on the listing, but not the other product models, no matter who created the listing for that product first. Even if it can be reinstated through an appeal on Seller Central, other sellers can change it again. To avoid this, sellers should create listings, purchase their own UPC codes, or add additional product models to their own listings.
Finally, another despised behavior is replacing product images with a completely different product. However, Amazon keeps records of every change. If the victim appeals, the seller of this operation will be punished for violating the rules.
Countermeasures: Buyer reviews are a good channel to discover this problem. If a review contains any inconsistencies with description, advertising, or other similar complaints, you should check your title immediately. Leave the title off until you’re sure your product description is exactly what you’re selling. See if there are other images of the packaging in the seller’s title. Look at the seller’s title from the buyer’s perspective, not just the UPC code.
Note: The best way to prevent this operation is to check the seller’s negative feedback and reviews, reply immediately, temporarily close the listing, and find out the cause of the problem. If the product image changes significantly, it is obviously a malicious frame-up. , don’t hesitate to file a rule violation complaint with Amazon. Hope the above content is helpful to you.
