Amazon Hijacker Alert  ·  Real-time  ·  Every plan

Amazon hijacker alerts: know the moment an unauthorized seller joins your listing.

SentryKit is a real-time hijacker alert for your own Amazon listings. When a new seller joins one of your ASINs, you get their seller ID and storefront, feedback, price against yours, FBA or FBM, and whether they now hold the Buy Box. Tag your authorised resellers once and they stop alerting you.

The Alert

What an Amazon hijacker alert shows you.

Most tools tell you that "a seller joined". SentryKit tells you who, so you can decide in one look whether it's a reseller you approved, a grey-market seller or a counterfeiter.

Who they are: seller ID with a link to their storefront, or the name you gave them
How established: their seller feedback
The threat: their price against yours, FBA or FBM, and whether they now hold the Buy Box
Where: the ASIN, the product and the marketplace
Next step: one click to the offer list, and one to report them to Amazon

The same alert can go to Slack, Microsoft Teams, ClickUp, a webhook or our API as well as your inbox.

A
Check whether they're an authorised reseller. If they are, tag them and they stop alerting you.
B
If you own the brand, report them to Amazon. An FBM seller with weak feedback undercutting you is a risk signal.
C
Keep watching. This seller is now logged. If they leave and come back, you hear about it again.

Signal, Not Noise

Hijacker, authorised reseller or Amazon? Tag each seller once.

Amazon doesn't tell you which sellers are authorised. You know, so tell SentryKit once. Every seller who has appeared on your listings is listed in Settings, and Backfill from your listings fills the list from the sellers already on your ASINs. Give each one a name and a role, and unauthorized sellers on Amazon are the only ones that reach your inbox.

RoleWhen they join your listingUse it for
UnclassifiedInstant alertAny seller you haven't checked yet. Every new seller starts here.
WatchlistInstant alertKnown hijackers and repeat offenders you want to hear about every time.
Authorised resellerLogged, no emailDistributors and resellers you've approved.
Amazon RetailLogged, no emailAmazon itself. Leave it untagged if you want an alert when Amazon starts selling on your listing.
IgnoreLogged, no emailSellers you've decided not to act on.

Roles apply per marketplace, so a reseller you approve in the UK still alerts you if they appear on your US listings. Everything stays recorded either way, so you never lose the history.

Built for Brands and Teams

Alerts for the right brand, and a report of every seller on your listings.

Alerts per storefront or per brand
Run several storefronts, or resell other brands next to your own? Limit hijacker alerts to the brands you own, so sellers joining listings you don't own don't flood your inbox. Each storefront's alerts can go to the teammate who manages it.
Know when Amazon starts selling on your listing
When Amazon adds its own offer to one of your ASINs, it shows up like any new seller: an alert, plus "Amazon started selling this product" on the product's history in your dashboard. Tag Amazon Retail if you'd rather it stayed quiet.
Seller report: every seller on your listings, in one file
See every seller currently on your listings across your catalog, how many of your ASINs each one sells on and how many of those Buy Boxes they hold. Export it as a CSV whenever you need it, or get it by email every month as a CSV and PDF, ready for your brand protection or legal team.

After the Alert

What to do when a hijacker joins your listing.

1
Check who it is.
Open the offer list from the alert and compare the seller with your approved resellers. If they're one of yours, tag them as an authorised reseller and you're done.
2
Capture the evidence.
Screenshot their offer and price before they change it. The alert already records when they joined, which ASIN and at what price.
3
Report them to Amazon.
If you're in Brand Registry, use Report a Violation. Report it as an unauthorized seller unless you've confirmed the product is fake; a test buy gives you that proof for a counterfeit claim.
4
Watch for them coming back.
Hijackers often leave and return. SentryKit alerts you again if they do, and the seller report shows every listing they sit on. More detail in our guide to detecting and removing Amazon hijackers.

Frequently Asked Questions

An Amazon hijacker is a seller who adds an offer to your product listing without your permission, often with counterfeit, grey-market or lower-quality stock, or at a price that undercuts yours. Because they sell on your ASIN, they can take the Buy Box, pull your price down and leave reviews about a product you didn't ship. For a private label brand, any new seller on your listing is worth checking straight away.
Amazon doesn't label sellers as authorized or unauthorized. You have to compare each seller on your listing against the distributors and resellers you've approved. SentryKit makes this a one-time job: tag your authorised resellers in Settings, and from then on only sellers you haven't tagged trigger a hijacker alert, with their seller ID and storefront link so you can check them.
In real time. Offer changes on your listings reach SentryKit as live notifications from Amazon, and the alert goes out as soon as a new seller appears on one of your ASINs. If a seller leaves and later comes back, you are alerted again.
Only if you want them. Tag a seller as an authorised reseller, as Amazon Retail, or as Ignore, and SentryKit logs their activity without emailing you. Tags apply per marketplace, so a reseller you approve in the UK still alerts you if they appear on your US listings. Sellers you put on your watchlist always alert you.
Yes. If you also resell other brands, limit hijacker alerts to your own brands so other sellers joining listings you don't own don't flood your inbox. You can also send each storefront's alerts to the teammate who manages it.
Yes. The seller report lists every seller on your listings with their role, marketplace, the number of your ASINs they sell on, how many of those Buy Boxes they hold, FBA or FBM, and when they were first and last seen. Export it as a CSV whenever you need it, or have it emailed to you every month.
No. SentryKit is the early warning and the evidence: who joined, when, at what price and on which ASINs. Removing them happens through Amazon, usually with a Brand Registry Report a Violation. The alert links straight to the offer list and to Amazon so you can act quickly.
