Flagged wording

Counterfeit, replica, or unauthorized-copy wording
high

Marketplaces prohibit counterfeit or non-genuine goods. Wording that admits or implies a fake item can trigger removal or account review.

Matched: Replica
Remove fake, replica, knockoff, and unauthorized-copy claims. If the item is not genuine, do not list it.
Designer-inspired or dupe wording
high

Brand-adjacent wording can imply a trademark relationship or counterfeit comparison, especially beside protected brand names.

Matched: dupe
Describe the item by its own brand, materials, measurements, color, and style without naming unrelated brands.
Off-platform payment request
high

Marketplaces commonly prohibit steering buyers to payment or checkout outside the marketplace.

Matched: Venmo
Keep payment, checkout, returns, and messages inside the marketplace workflow.
Stock photo, drop-ship, or not-in-hand wording
medium

Some marketplaces restrict stock images, drop-shipping, supplier photos, or listings for items the seller does not have.

Matched: stock photo
Use your own photos and list only inventory you can ship through the marketplace workflow.

Safer draft
