(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nSodaPeak's legitimacy review found 498 unauthorized listings in September 2026, with 378 removed, per USA Today and Kitsap Sun reports.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): marketplaces are fast distribution but not trustworthy distribution. A brand selling on Amazon, eBay, or Shopee must run monthly audits for unauthorized sellers and invest in takedown infrastructure. The play: hire or contract a marketplace-monitoring service (or build it in-house if volume justifies), set a monthly audit schedule, identify unauthorized sellers, and submit removal requests to platform trust teams. Budget for this as a cost of marketplace presence, not as optional. Protect your brand reputation and pricing by treating counterfeit removal as a repeating production task.\nWhat that means for you: marketplaces are fast distribution but not trustworthy distribution. A brand selling on Amazon, eBay, or Shopee must run monthly audits for unauthorized sellers and invest in takedown infrastructure.

Budget for this as a cost of marketplace presence, not as optional.
