Amazon: Amazon employees secretly selling “Amazon Magic” to third-party sellers: Key details

When it comes to ensuring what kind of sellers are on its platform, Amazon has rather strict rules and criteria. Sellers can be suspended and then it becomes hard for them to get reinstated on the e-commerce platform. According to a report by CNBC, some Amazon employees are secretly sharing information with some sellers on Telegram and other channels.

The report says there are “illicit brokers” who charge close to $200 to $400 for services which are called “Amazon Magic”. These services are getting access to employees who can yank off negative product reviews, or provide information on other competitor sellers.
LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Facebook used

The report mentions that sellers are on various platforms seeking information that can help them improve their sales on Amazon. For example, there is a Telegram group with over 13,000 members where sellers can share tips and tricks, as well as trade information about upcoming sales and promotions. Similarly, WeChat, WhatsApp, and Facebook are also used by sellers to connect with each other and share information. This information can be very useful for third-party sellers on Amazon, as it can help them to stay ahead of the competition and increase their sales.
According to the report, sellers often reach out to brokers who then get in touch with Amazon insiders on LinkedIn. These insiders can provide sellers with confidential information about Amazon. This information can be very valuable to sellers, as it can help them to make informed decisions about their business.
The report also mentions that Amazon has a team that is dedicated to investigating employees who are suspected of leaking confidential data. This team works to identify and prevent the unauthorized disclosure of confidential information.
“There is no place for fraud at Amazon and we will continue to pursue all measures to protect our store and hold bad actors accountable,” Christy Distefano, an Amazon spokesperson, told CNBC. However, Amazon didn’t confirm whether any employees have been fired or suspended for leaking confidential information in exchange for money.
