Where to report counterfeits and copycat stores, platform by platform

Updated 15 Oct 202615 min readTakedown

TL;DR

  • Report a copy where it lives: a listing goes to the marketplace; a copycat website goes to its store builder, then its host, then its registrar.
  • Almost every platform takes reports only from the rights owner or an agent they authorise. Trademark and counterfeit claims usually need a registration number; copied photos and product text can go in as copyright claims without one.
  • This directory links the official form for 157 platforms, each read on the platform's own site on 14 Oct 2026. 17 platforms where we could not find an official route are left out rather than guessed.
  • Takedown can file these reports for you, and files nothing until you approve each case.

Each platform runs its own reporting route, with its own name (VeRO on eBay, Report a Violation on Amazon, IPPC on TikTok Shop, IPP on Alibaba and AliExpress) and its own rules about who may file. The tables below list them by type: marketplaces, store builders, hosts, registrars, payment providers, ad platforms, social media, search engines and app stores. A step-by-step guide is linked wherever we have written one.

What you'll need

  • The exact URL of each copy. A listing link, not the shop's home page. Shopify, Etsy and most marketplaces reject a bare store link.
  • Your registration numbers for trademark claims: the office (USPTO, UKIPO, EUIPO), the number and the classes.
  • Links to your original work for copyright claims: your product page or the photo's original location.
  • Screenshots with the URL and the date visible, in case the page changes before the platform looks.
  • A letter of authorisation if someone other than the rights owner is filing.

Not sure who hosts a site? The free abuse contact finder looks up the host and registrar abuse addresses for any domain, and the DMCA notice generator drafts the notice.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a registered trademark to report a counterfeit?

On most marketplaces, yes, for a trademark or counterfeit claim: the form asks for a registration number, and Amazon Brand Registry requires one. Copied product photos and descriptions can be reported as copyright infringement without registering anything.

Can someone else report infringement for my brand?

Yes, if you authorise them. Every platform listed here accepts reports from the rights owner or an agent acting for them, usually with a letter of authorisation or, on some marketplaces, an approved agent account.

What if the platform rejects my report?

Most rejections are about evidence: the wrong right claimed, a missing registration number, or a link to the store rather than the listing. Fix the specific gap and resubmit. A counter-notice is different: the seller disputes the claim, and under the DMCA the platform can restore the content after 10 to 14 business days unless you show it that you have filed a lawsuit.

How do I take down a whole fake website, not just a listing?

Report it to the store builder if it uses one, then to the host and the registrar, and to the payment provider taking its orders. Our fake website takedown guide explains the order and why.
