Frequently asked questions

Remove.tech detects the main patterns of marketplace abuse that damage brands and consumers, including:

• Counterfeit and replica product listings
• Fake or misleading listings using your branding
• Grey market listings and parallel imports in restricted regions
• Stolen product images or packaging art
• Seller fraud, such as bait-and-switch or non-delivery
• Copycat brand pages and lookalike product ranges

By combining content and identity signals, Remove.tech helps brands understand both the scope of abuse and who is behind it.

Remove.tech uses identity-based matching and behaviour analysis to identify when the same seller, or connected group of sellers, appears on multiple marketplaces under different names.

This lets brands see that:

• A seller on Amazon, a seller on Shopee, and a seller on MercadoLibre are in fact related
• The same actor is spinning up new accounts as old ones are shut down
• Abuse is not random, but part of a coordinated operation

This cross-market visibility is critical for global brands who need to manage risk in a joined-up way.

Yes. Remove.tech monitors major Chinese and global sourcing platforms for product piracy, replicas, and lookalike goods. It can:

• Detect copied designs, branding, or feature sets
• Identify manufacturers offering unlicensed production of branded goods
• Link suppliers to downstream sellers on other marketplaces

This is particularly valuable for manufacturers, electronics, fashion, and luxury brands where the upstream supply of counterfeits often begins.

Yes. Remove.tech looks for signals that products are being sold outside authorised channels, such as:

• Sellers listing products in regions where they shouldn’t be available
• Pricing patterns that undercut official channels in specific markets
• Distribution routes that don’t align with your supply chain

By combining region, seller identity, and listing data, Remove.tech gives brands a clearer view of where grey market activity is occurring and who is driving it.

Remove.tech analyses a combination of:

• Product titles and descriptions
• Image and media usage
• Pricing and offer structure
• Seller history and behaviour
• Identity signals behind the account

If a listing strongly resembles an official product page but is operated by an unknown or risky seller, Remove.tech can flag it as a potential cloned or misleading listing for review or enforcement.

Yes. Remove.tech is designed for brands selling in multiple markets. It can monitor activity simultaneously across the US, EU/UK, Latin America, China, Southeast Asia, and more.

This gives brands one coherent view of:

• Where abuse is most intense
• Which regions show similar patterns of infringement
• Whether the same actors are operating across borders

Global brands can then make decisions on resourcing, legal strategies, and partner management based on real-world data rather than assumptions.

Yes. On large marketplaces such as Amazon and Walmart, Remove.tech can help brands:

• Identify deceptive or high-risk seller accounts
• Spot patterns of misleading product descriptions and imagery
• Trace multiple seller accounts back to the same operator
• Prioritise which sellers pose the greatest threat to reputation and revenue

With that intelligence, brands can take targeted action via marketplace programmes, enforcement channels, or legal escalation.

Remove.tech is built for near real-time detection. While exact timings depend on platform data and integration specifics, the aim is to:

• Surface high-risk listings as early as possible, ideally soon after they go live
• Reduce the window in which consumers can be exposed to fake or unsafe products
• Give brand protection teams a head start before abuse scales

This speed is especially important during launches, promotions, or peak shopping periods when counterfeiters are most active.

Yes. Remove.tech helps brands track where products are appearing outside authorised channels and which sellers are consistently involved. It can:

• Highlight sellers repeatedly listing your products without being official partners
• Show whether those sellers are linked to known distributors or entirely unknown sources
• Provide patterns that suggest diversion or leakage from legitimate supply chains

This allows commercial and legal teams to investigate, engage, or enforce as appropriate.

Yes. Remove.tech supports secondhand and resale platforms such as Vinted, StockX, GOAT, Poshmark, and similar marketplaces where counterfeit and replica items are common.

For these platforms and the brands using them, Remove.tech helps distinguish between legitimate resale and:

• High-quality replicas being passed off as genuine
• Sellers repeatedly listing fake goods from the same source
• Lookalike or “dupe” ecosystems that trade on brand recognition

This protects both brand equity and end consumers.
