Remove counterfeits from DHgate
DHgate is a wholesale marketplace where counterfeit sellers work hard to look legitimate. We find the listings that keyword filters miss.
How counterfeits show up on DHgate
Hidden links
A listing shows a plain, unbranded product while the seller sends buyers the real counterfeit through messages or a separate link. We look at the listing as a whole, not just the title.
Generic photos and titles
Brand names are left out and logos are kept out of the main photo. Image search and our image recognition algorithm still match your designs.
Repeat sellers
Removed products often return under new listings. Repeat offenders show up in our reports.
Reporting on DHgate yourself
DHgate's Intellectual Property Protection System (IPPS) is where rights holders register and file complaints. You'll need proof of ownership and a report for each listing, and you'll need to follow up when something stays up.
We handle it for you: we find the listings, verify every one and file the reports through DHgate's own rights-owner channel.
How we handle it
The same three checks we run on all 31 platforms we monitor. Nothing is reported until it has passed all three.
Detect
Targeted multi-term queries, broad keyword sweeps and image search, so listings that never mention your brand are still found. Your authorized sellers go on an exclusion list before the first scan.
Recognize
Our image recognition algorithm, Bullseye, compares every product image against your logos, designs and product images. It judges the images, not the title.
Verify
Our review team manually checks every remaining link before it's reported. Uncertain items are held. No bulk or sampled approvals.

Common questions
Do you handle DHgate hidden links?
We report listings that our review team confirms are infringing. Hidden-link listings are a common reason titles alone aren't enough, which is why we check images and the full listing.
How quickly are DHgate listings removed?
Once a listing is verified, we report it through DHgate's rights-owner channel and follow up on anything that stays up.
Do you cover other wholesale sites?
Yes, including Alibaba.com.
