## What this rule covers
Counterfeit products are prohibited. Sellers should be able to support the legitimacy and origin of branded or branded-looking goods they list.
## Why sellers should care
Counterfeit allegations are high risk and can affect account standing and funds as well as the specific listing.
## Safer operating practice
Source from verifiable suppliers, retain product-matched invoices, inspect packaging and identifiers, and avoid products that use imitation branding or questionable certifications.
## Important note
Do not alter invoices or create documentation after the fact. If authenticity cannot be supported, do not list the product.
