Which platforms does Knockoff monitor for stolen listings and copycat stores?

Knockoff monitors Amazon, Temu, eBay, Etsy, AliExpress, Facebook, Instagram, and the open web for stolen listings, copycat storefronts, and trademark filings that copy your brand name. DHgate also appears as a watched surface in the product's own detection display. The service is built for Shopify stores, and the platform list above is what the site states it covers — it does not claim to monitor every marketplace that exists.

What gets watched, by platform type

The coverage splits into three groups, and each group catches a different kind of copy.

Marketplaces — Amazon, Temu, eBay, Etsy, AliExpress. These are where stolen product photos get resold under someone else's listing. Knockoff finds them by exact image match and only counts a match when your own photo appears in the seller's gallery.

Social platforms — Facebook and Instagram. Copycat storefronts and stolen listings also surface here, where a shop page or ad can reuse your photos and route buyers to a different checkout.

The open web — plus DHgate, which shows up as a watched surface in the product's detection view. This is where copycat storefronts like a lookalike domain (the site's own example: walnut-organizer-shop.com using your photos with their checkout) get caught the day they go live.

The three detection types

Platform coverage matters because each detection type lives on different surfaces:

• Stolen listings — your product photos resold by strangers. Found by exact image match, confirmed in the listing's own gallery.
• Copycat storefronts — stores built to pass for yours, caught the day they go live, before your customers find them.
• Trademark filings — filings that copy your brand name.

What happens after a match is found

Finding the listing is only the first half. Knockoff builds the case with archived proof — archived page, timestamp, side-by-side comparison — then files the takedown as your authorized agent on covered platforms. You sign a Letter of Authorization once and can revoke it any time. For Amazon photo claims specifically, Knockoff prepares the notice and you send it from your own Amazon account, which the site says takes about two minutes. Weak cases are never filed in your name.

What to check before assuming coverage

The platform list is the site's stated coverage, not a guarantee that every regional marketplace or every social network is included. If your counterfeits concentrate somewhere not on this list — a regional marketplace, a messaging app, a wholesale site — confirm with Knockoff directly whether that surface is covered before subscribing. Setup is described as five minutes, with your first scan starting the moment you subscribe, so the fastest way to test coverage against your own catalog is to connect your store and review what the first scan surfaces.
