Counterfeit

Counterfeit

One of the categories of policy violations we monitor is 'Counterfeit'. This could be the imitation of brand, design or product specifications that do not match the original item. Read more about it on this page.

Selling counterfeit items

What is not allowed, for example:

  • Creating the impression that an item is of a particular brand, when it is not.
  • Mentioning a brand name in the name or description of an item, when in reality the item does not have that brand.
  • Selling an item that is an imitation item, even if you mention it in the product description.
  • Removing or defacing EAN codes on items.

Good to know: If you have multiple seller accounts, then for a policy violation ‘Counterfeit’ we have the authority to deduct the relevant number of points on all your accounts linked to the same Chamber of Commerce number.
