Important terminology

An unfamiliar seller is not automatically a counterfeiter. We investigate unknown sellers and potential hijacker risk first, so the report you submit is accurate — unfounded counterfeit claims get closed and can put your own account at risk.

The stakes

Every day on your listing is revenue you paid to acquire

Hijackers do not build demand — they intercept yours. Your ads, reviews and ranking send the traffic, and a lower-priced unknown offer collects the Buy Box. Meanwhile any quality problem in their units lands as a one-star review on your ASIN.

Most self-filed complaints fail because they assert counterfeiting without proof. We work the case the way Amazon reviews it: identify the seller, document the violation that actually applies, and submit it through the right channel.

Unknown sellers appearing on your branded ASIN
Buy Box takeover by an unauthorized reseller
Counterfeit or inauthentic units suspected on your listing
Unauthorized edits to your title, images or bullets
MAP and pricing policy breaches by grey-market sellers
Repeat offenders returning under new storefront names
Used units sold as new against your brand
Bundle and variation abuse on your parent ASIN
Distributor leakage into the marketplace

What the investigation covers

Completed before any report is filed in your name.

  • 1

    Offer mapping

    Every seller on the ASIN captured with price, condition, fulfilment method and storefront history.

  • 2

    Authorization check

    Unknown accounts compared against your distributor and reseller agreements to avoid enforcing on a partner.

  • 3

    Violation classification

    The specific policy that applies — IP, condition, listing manipulation or pricing — instead of a blanket counterfeit claim.

  • 4

    Evidence assembly

    Time-stamped screenshots, offer snapshots, brand ownership proof and structured test-buy instructions.

  • 5

    Channel selection

    Brand Registry, Report a Violation or Seller Support, chosen for the violation type and your registry status.

The workflow

Investigate, evidence, report, deter

One specialist owns the case from intake to a clean offer page.

01

Investigate

We map every seller on the ASIN, separate authorized distributors from unknown accounts, and record storefront history so you enforce against the right party.

02

Evidence

Screenshots, offer snapshots, test-buy documentation and brand ownership proof are organized into a report structured the way Amazon's teams review complaints.

03

Report

We prepare the correct submission path — Brand Registry, Report a Violation, or a Seller Support case — with wording that avoids unsupported counterfeit accusations.

04

Deter

After removal we monitor for the seller's return, log recurrence patterns, and give you a hardening checklist covering pricing, distribution and Brand Registry settings.

Why speed matters

Enforcement is a revenue decision, not paperwork

Buy Box recovered

Every hour an unknown seller holds the Buy Box, your ad spend converts into their revenue.

Brand integrity kept

Off-spec or expired units sold under your brand land as one-star reviews on your ASIN.

Escalation avoided

Documented, accurate reporting protects your account from retaliatory or unfounded complaints.

What you receive

  • Full seller map of every offer on the affected ASIN
  • Authorization assessment for each unknown seller
  • Structured evidence pack with test-buy guidance
  • Prepared violation report or support-case wording
  • Escalation plan if the first submission is closed
  • Prevention checklist to deter repeat listings

What this service is not

  • Any guarantee a seller will be removed — Amazon decides enforcement
  • Legal action, cease-and-desist letters or trademark filings
  • Contacting the other seller on your behalf
  • Accusing a seller of counterfeiting without verified evidence

We are transparent about this up front. Any provider promising guaranteed seller removal is describing a decision only Amazon can make.
