The problems

What online retailers are up against

Retail abuse is a commercial problem, not just a legal one. Every counterfeit listing undercuts your price, every copycat store steals checkout traffic, and every fake review kills conversion on the pages that pay for your ads. Abuse rarely stays as one listing - it's networks of sellers, domains and accounts that relist as fast as you report them. Listing-by-listing inbox work doesn't scale. A coordinated enforcement workflow does.

01

Counterfeit trade

Counterfeit listings at volume

Fake versions of your products on Amazon, eBay, AliExpress, Temu, Walmart and social commerce - undercutting your price, generating returns and complaints that land on your brand, and training customers to expect a cheaper (worse) version of you.

02

Store impersonation

Copycat stores and lookalike domains

Sites cloning your branding, product pages and checkout flow - some diverting paid traffic, others taking real card payments and never shipping. Often backed by ads bidding on your brand terms.

03

Creative theft

Stolen product photography and listing copy

Your photos, videos and written copy lifted wholesale onto knock-off or unrelated listings - copyright you can enforce immediately, even while a trademark application is still pending.

04

Review attacks

Review and rating attacks

Coordinated one-star campaigns from competitors, never-customers or bot accounts on Google, Trustpilot and marketplace review sections - timed to hit before peak season or a product launch.

05

Seller misuse

Unauthorized and grey-market sellers

Sellers outside your distribution agreements hijacking Buy Boxes, eroding MAP pricing or confusing customers - a different enforcement problem from counterfeits, with different evidence and pathways.

06

Payment fraud

Payment-backed brand fraud

Fraud sites and fake stores processing real payments under your brand - where reporting the payment processor and ad network is often faster than waiting on an offshore host.

Common scenarios

Common situations we resolve

Retail enforcement matters follow recognisable commercial patterns. Each links into a guided assessment scoped for that problem - with marketplace, domain and payment pathways considered together.

Situation 01

Marketplace abuse

AmazoneBayTemu

Counterfeits of our products are all over the marketplaces

IP complaints filed at volume through Brand Registry, VeRO and the major Chinese platforms' IP programs - with seller-network tracking so repeat offenders are escalated, not just quietly relisted under a new account.

Situation 02

Store impersonation

ShopifyGoogle Search

A fake version of our store is taking payments

Host, registrar, search, ad-network and payment-processor pathways worked in parallel - cutting the site's traffic and revenue while source removal completes.

Discuss this situation

Situation 03

Creative theft

Google ImagesPinterestEtsy

Someone stole our product photos for their listings

Copyright enforcement on your imagery and copy across marketplaces and storefronts - actionable immediately, even without a registered trademark.

Discuss this situation

Situation 04

Review manipulation

Google ReviewsTrustpilot

We're being review-bombed before peak season

Inauthenticity evidence compiled - account patterns, timing, order-record checks - and platform disputes run through to an outcome on Google, Trustpilot and marketplace review surfaces.

Discuss this situation

Situation 05

Seller misuse

AmazonWalmarteBay

Unauthorized sellers keep hijacking our listings

Your authorized-seller list becomes the enforcement baseline. Everything outside it is assessed for the strongest removal or complaint pathway - without hitting legitimate resellers.

Discuss this situation

Situation 06

Ad fraud

Google SearchInstagramTikTok

Fake ads are running under our brand name

Ad-network policy reports paired with landing-page and domain takedowns, so the campaign and its destination come down together instead of regenerating under a new URL.

Discuss this situation

Platforms & channels

The marketplaces and channels that matter for retail

Each channel runs its own IP program, evidence rules and escalation ladder. We file through the correct program per platform - that is the difference between removals and rejected tickets - and we don't stop at marketplaces when the abuse has moved to domains, ads or payments.
