Unauthorized Seller Mapping Our Product & Selling Counterfeits – Need Urgent Guidance
Hello Sellers,
We are the brand owner and sole manufacturer of a product listed on Amazon under our registered brand. Recently, we found that an unauthorized seller has been mapping on our ASIN and selling counterfeit versions of our product.
This has led to: Poor customer reviews (due to counterfeit quality)
Brand reputation damage (customers think it’s our product)
Loss of sales and customer trust
We raised a complaint with the Amazon Brand Support team (Complaint ID already filed), but unfortunately, it was rejected, even though we provided proof of brand ownership and manufacturing rights.
Key Questions for Fellow Sellers:
Has anyone faced a similar issue where counterfeit sellers map to their listings?
What steps worked for you to get such sellers removed?
Is there any escalation route or additional documentation we should submit to strengthen our case?
Our focus is to protect our brand and customers from counterfeit products, and we are seeking advice from experienced sellers on how to deal with such situations effectively.
Thanks in advance for your support and guidance.

Hello @Seller_p79vy9sTSqFD0,
Thank you for reaching out.
Did you report this incident via the Report Violation tool as well? If yes, could you share the case ID?
Kind regards, Julia.

I too faced a similar case. I have authored a book, published it myself and am selling solely on Amazon. One bookseller used to buy my book on Amazon and resell it on Global markets of Amazon like Canada, USA, UK Sweden, Australia etc through other agents at exorbitant rates, using my ASIN and my reviews in India,mapping my seller page. I sent a legal notice to him, warning him against selling my product without my legal permission.. I had complained to Amazon a number of times. But here they said they have no rights to control foreign listings.
At present, these listings are still visible on foreign platforms, but saying currently unavailable, I need Amazon to remove all these listings.

l doubt sellers who map products and selling counterfiet products are sponsored by Amazon to reduce the rate of products. Also reduce image and growth of any seller.
I have removed all mapped sellers by solid proof after making test purchase.
Now again all those mappers came in and started selling counterfiet products. Again I have to do test purchase and wait. They have reduced price of my product from 2000 to 199. Very slow action against lndian law breakers. They are breaking Indian fssai law Indian packaging law. Had it been a small shop it would have closed. As this is a jiant no action. Very sad state of affairs. We all should go to court against mapping system . Otherwise all msme will be crushed by this people. We have to suicide by big losses
