Test Purchase

Counterfeit sellers can easily disguise or hide their information, especially when using informal channels like social media. But with the help of a test purchase, brand owners can access further information about the seller, such as their name, address, which functions as an initial source of information for investigation and enforcement action.

Why test purchases are a must for a comprehensive strategy
  • Test purchase suspicious products that lack counterfeit indicators in the listing.
  • Test purchase suspected counterfeit products to learn more about what they are made of and how they are packaged.
  • Test purchase obvious counterfeit products to collect evidence that can be used to work with marketplaces to permanently remove counterfeit sellers and prevent them from opening new stores.
  • Test purchase products that appear to be authentic but are offered at a considerably lower price point.
