Amazon Drop Shipping Scams Against Amazon Sellers: What to Watch Out For

Drop shipping is a popular business model where sellers list products for sale on Amazon but don't actually hold inventory themselves. Instead, they purchase the product from a third-party supplier and have it shipped directly to the customer. While drop shipping can be a legitimate and profitable business, it has also become a breeding ground for scams and fraud, particularly against Amazon sellers. In this article, we'll explore some common Amazon drop shipping scams that target sellers and how to avoid them.
  1. Listing hijacking: This is a tactic where a drop shipper lists the same product as an Amazon seller, often at a lower price, and then fulfills the order through their own supplier. This can result in the Amazon seller losing the sale and damaging their reputation. To avoid this scam, regularly monitor your listings and look for any unauthorized changes or new listings that may be competing with your own.
  2. Counterfeit products: Some drop shippers may sell counterfeit or knock-off versions of your product, which can damage your brand's reputation and result in lost sales. To avoid this scam, monitor your product listings and read the reviews carefully to look for any complaints of counterfeit products. You can also use Amazon's Brand Registry program to protect your brand and report any counterfeit listings.
  3. Unauthorized sellers: Some drop shippers may purchase your product from unauthorized sources and then resell it on Amazon, which can result in the product being counterfeit, damaged, or expired. To avoid this scam, regularly monitor your product listings and look for any unauthorized sellers or changes in pricing.
  4. Shipping delays: Some drop shippers may promise fast shipping times but actually take weeks or even months to deliver the product, which can result in angry customers and negative reviews. To avoid this scam, communicate clearly with your drop shippers and set realistic shipping expectations for your customers.
  5. Returns fraud: Some drop shippers may purchase your product and then return a counterfeit or damaged version, which can result in lost revenue and damaged reputation. To avoid this scam, implement strict return policies and monitor returns carefully to detect any signs of fraud.

Remember, it is strictly prohibited by Amazon's drop shipping policy to drop ship from any other online retailer.  Many Amazon selling "gurus" promote this as the best model for new sellers, but it is a recipe for disaster.  

In conclusion, drop shipping can be a profitable business, but it's important to be aware of the potential scams and frauds that can occur, particularly against Amazon sellers. To avoid these scams, regularly monitor your listings and product reviews, communicate clearly with your drop shippers, and implement strict policies to protect your brand and revenue. By taking these precautions, you can ensure a safe and successful drop shipping experience on Amazon.

If you have any questions about drop shipping on Amazon, or have had your account suspended or have received a policy violation warning, please call, chat or email us for a free consultation.
