What is Hijacker Monitoring?
"Hijacker Monitoring" tools focus primarily on the Amazon platform, because Amazon's unique catalog system (ASIN) allows multiple sellers to sell the same product on the same product detail page, making "listing hijacking" or "piggybacking" possible. It's also necessary to monitor legitimate hijackers (such as wholesalers or authorized distributors) for their pricing and behavior.
Other platforms like independent websites (Shopify, etc.) don't have the "hijacking" concept, while platforms like eBay, although having multiple sellers of similar products, have a different structure, with different monitoring needs and tools.
