Amazon photo changed

[Sunspot144]

Soz I've got a couple Amazon's Choice listings, unique to catalog, and they ran out of stock for just a couple of days. Shipment's arriving tomorrow so I went to restock this evening and there's a new photo of a different product I've never used before. It's a variation listing and only one photo changed, all the other slower selling variation photos are still the same.

The UPC code is new afaik, when I do a google search is shows images of my product alongside 2 other similar product photos (why are those showing up I wonder?) but not the one that is on the listing now.

From reading forums some people are saying if you go out of stock it allows others to make changes to the listing?

Others say when you go back in stock it might revert back to your original image.

There aren't any other sellers on the listing which is odd why the picture would change.

I don't dare set myself up if someone is on the other end waiting for me to restock then blast me with item not as described claims.

Also considering it could be some mooch trying to hitch a free ride?

Any ideas?

Sounds like you got hijacked...
Change the photo back

When I go to edit the listing the 'Main' photo (one I can click 'Remove image' on) is still the original image. I dont get it.

Bleh, submitted a listing fix. Should do it. First time for everything.......

Amazon changed it back within a few mins..

Will they prevent this person from changing the photo again?

The new product photo was clearly not related. Painfully obvious whoever it was was trying to disrupt my sales flow.

For the time being, i doubt it however in some time, a block will be put in place to prevent it.

You could also request the listing to be restricted so that this wont happen.

Ah that sounds perfect. Much appreciated man.

Uno mas pregunta..

If you go out of stock is that what allows others to change listing details? Orrrr it can happen at any time?


Should really probably be coughing up the money now for a brand registry heh.

It can happen anytime.

Like amazon always says they promote "free market" ...
