Remove Counterfeit Listings on Wish
Remove counterfeit listings from the Wish discount marketplace.
Wish was once the dominant ultra-low-price marketplace in the West, though its market share has eroded under competition from Temu and Shein. The platform still hosts a substantial counterfeit problem, with Chinese sourcing pipelines feeding direct-to-consumer listings. Wish runs an Authenticity & Counterfeit Reporting program that handles IP complaints from rights holders.
The core problem on Wish
Wish's seller base skews heavily toward Chinese suppliers selling directly to Western consumers, with ASIN-level catalog turnover that frustrates traditional enforcement. The platform has tightened IP enforcement under regulatory and PR pressure, but counterfeits remain easy to find — particularly in electronics accessories, fashion knockoffs, and lookalike branded goods.
Most common violation types
- Counterfeit electronics accessories (cables, chargers, headphones)
- Fashion replica goods at deep discounts
- Trademark infringement in product titles
- Stolen product photography from brand sites
- Lookalike product designs mimicking branded items
How to file a takedown manually
- 1
Identify the violation type
Wish separates copyright, trademark, and counterfeit reports. Misclassification slows review and may result in rejection.
- 2
Capture comprehensive evidence
Save product URL, product ID, seller ID, listing photos, and pricing. Wish listings rotate frequently — capture before submission.
- 3
Submit through the IP form
Use Wish's IP reporting form with sworn statement and registered trademark documentation. Counterfeit declarations require additional supporting evidence.
- 4
Track seller-level patterns
Repeat sellers face account suspension after substantiated complaints. Aggregate evidence to push toward seller-level enforcement.

- Continuous Wish catalog scanning for brand keywords and design infringement
- Reverse-image matching to detect stolen brand product photography
