Imitation
One of the categories of policy violations we monitor is imitation. By this, we mean the reproduction of a brand, design, or item specifications that do not match the original item. Want to know exactly what this entails? You can read about it on this page.
Selling imitation items
What is not allowed, for example:
- Giving the impression that an item is from a certain brand, while it is not.
- Mentioning a brand name in the name or description of an item, while the item does not actually have that brand.
- Selling an item that is an imitation item, even if you state this in the item description.
- Removing or damaging EAN codes on items.
Good to know: if you have multiple seller accounts, in the event of an 'Imitation' policy violation, we have the authority to deduct the corresponding number of points from all your accounts linked to the same Chamber of Commerce number.
