Do competitors sabotage campaigns

Anyone else ever thought that competitors deliberately rack up your advertising cost by arranging loads of clicks on your sponsored products ?

Makes me suspicious when you run campaigns, and the advertising costs sky rocket suddenly with zero sales … even when your price is the best, and you are selling FBA Prime …

I am sure it does happen but I am not sure it happens that frequently. Most sellers will have better things to do than trying to constantly sabotage their competitors.

Not entirely sure how the clicks work but I would imagine that multiple clicks from one person only counts as a single click on your campaign, therefore they would have to have multiple different people all clicking on your campaign…before they do any of this they would have to know you are running a campaign!!

It is always possible that there was just no interest from the customers who clicked on your item. It is also possible they may come back later and buy your item, customers often like to compare several items and sometimes have a think before they buy your items.
