💬 Get Free Case AssessmentWhat 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
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.
From a verifiable distributor or manufacturer, dated within the past 365 days, showing product quantity and description matching your listing.
Confirmation from the brand owner that you are an authorised reseller of their products on Amazon.
A structured explanation of root cause, corrective actions taken, and preventive measures. This cannot be a generic template — Amazon checks for specificity.
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.
