Reporting Irrelevant Child ASINs Used for Review Manipulation-B0DGX32223
Dear Amazon Seller Performance Team,
I am writing to bring to your attention a potential policy violation concerning the misuse of parent-child ASIN relationships by a competitor.
The competitor appears to be combining irrelevant child ASINs (B0CY221FX1) under a parent ASIN (B0DHR8M8Y8), with the primary purpose of merging reviews. These child ASINs that are mentioned above are then marked as out of stock or "hidden" from customers. Only two ASINs (B0DGX32223, B0DGWXTRDJ) remain active for sales. When these active ASINs accumulate negative reviews, these are removed and replaced with a new child ASIN—allowing the competitor to retain the combined positive reviews while avoiding the impact of negative feedback.
This practice undermines the integrity of the review system and appears to violate Amazon’s ASIN Creation Policy and guidelines on Review Manipulation. I believe these irrelevant child ASINs should be split from the parent ASIN to ensure compliance and fair competition.
Please investigate this issue and take the necessary corrective actions.
Thank you for your prompt attention.
Sincerely,
