Counterfeit Complaints

What Is an Amazon Counterfeit Complaint?

A counterfeit complaint on Amazon alleges that you are selling fake or unauthorised copies of branded products. Unlike a general inauthentic complaint, counterfeit allegations are among the most serious violations Amazon investigates — they can trigger immediate listing removal, account-level action, and in some cases, legal referral to brand owners.

Counterfeit complaints are typically filed by:

  • Brand owners via Amazon Brand Registry enforcement
  • Amazon itself following a test purchase programme
  • Buyers who believe the product received is not genuine
  • Competitors making bad-faith allegations to remove listings
Critical: Counterfeit appeals require genuine supplier documentation — not just a denial. Without the right invoices and authorisation, appeals are almost always rejected.

Our Process

How We Handle Your Case — Step by Step

A structured appeal built on documentation, not guesswork. Every step is completed by our specialists on your behalf.

Complaint Source Analysis

We identify whether the counterfeit complaint originated from the brand, a buyer, or Amazon directly — because the documentation and appeal route differ significantly depending on the source.

Invoice & Documentation Review

We identify which supplier invoices, letters of authorisation (LOAs), and chain-of-custody documents Amazon will need. We guide you through gathering them in the correct format.

You Grant Secure Secondary Access

Amazon requires that ONLY SPN & SPP certified partners can request Seller Central access. You add Go.Reinstate as a secondary user through Amazon\'s official User Permissions system. Restricted access only. Revocable by you at any time. Any non-certified provider asking for this access is violating Amazon policy.

Plan of Action Writing

We craft a professional, tailored Plan of Action covering root cause (how counterfeit stock entered the supply chain), corrective actions taken, and preventive measures put in place — the three elements Amazon requires.

Submission, Follow-Up & Escalation

We submit your appeal with full documentation and follow up at every stage. Multiple revision rounds are included. If initial channels fail, we escalate internally within Amazon's structure.

What Amazon Requires to Reinstate After a Counterfeit Complaint

Counterfeit appeals are document-intensive. Amazon does not reinstate based on a denial alone — they require verifiable evidence of your supply chain and sourcing practices.

Supplier Invoices
From a verifiable distributor or manufacturer, dated within the past 365 days, showing product quantity and description matching your listing.
Letter of Authorisation (LOA)
Confirmation from the brand owner that you are an authorised reseller of their products on Amazon.
Plan of Action
A structured explanation of root cause, corrective actions taken, and preventive measures. This cannot be a generic template — Amazon checks for specificity.
Proof of Authenticity
Product images, packaging details, and brand markings confirming the items you sold are genuine.

Why We Need Secondary Access — Amazon's Official Requirement

As an Amazon SPN & SPP certified agency, Go.Reinstate is one of the very few service providers officially authorised by Amazon to access Seller Central on your behalf. Amazon's own policy states that only SPN-certified partners are permitted to request secondary user access to a seller's account. Any non-certified service provider asking for your Seller Central access is violating Amazon's terms and putting your account at serious risk. When you grant access to Go.Reinstate, you are following Amazon's own recommended process — through the official User Permissions system, restricted access only, revocable by you at any time.

FAQ

Common Questions

What documents do I need for a counterfeit appeal? +
The core documents are: supplier invoices (dated within 365 days, from a verifiable source), a letter of authorisation (LOA) from the brand confirming you are an authorised reseller, and a structured Plan of Action. In some cases, product authenticity certificates or brand test results are also required. We tell you exactly what to gather after reviewing your specific case.
What if I don't have a letter of authorisation from the brand? +
This is the most common challenge in counterfeit cases. Without an LOA, the appeal is very difficult — but not always impossible. We advise on whether obtaining one is feasible, and if not, on alternative routes for reinstatement based on your specific supply chain situation.
Do you need access to my Amazon Seller Central account? +
Yes — for most cases we require limited secondary access granted through Amazon's official User Permissions system. Amazon's own policy only permits SPN & SPP certified agencies like Go.Reinstate to request this access. Our access is restricted, monitored, and revocable by you instantly at any time.
What if the counterfeit complaint was made by a competitor in bad faith? +
Bad-faith counterfeit complaints do occur. We investigate the complaint source and, where the complaint appears invalid, prepare a formal dispute rather than a standard appeal. A dispute challenges the validity of the complaint itself rather than admitting fault.
Do I pay anything if the reinstatement fails? +
No. Our service is strictly no win, no fee. If Amazon does not reinstate your listing, you owe us nothing. The £399 + 3% is only charged on confirmed reinstatement.
