The product was copied to Temu by someone else, and the price is $2 lower than mine, and the pictures even have my own logo! How can I file a complaint?

I happened to be browsing temu this morning and searched for some of my own products. Suddenly, I found that one of my products was listed on temu. The picture was exactly the same as my Amazon picture. My main picture also had my own logo. This product just copied it all and priced it lower than mine. My current price is not profitable, but this product can be 2 US dollars lower than mine.
 
You don't have to do anything yourself, you can just copy all the pictures with one click, and the price is lower than mine, do you still have any shame? Ahhhhhhhh, I'm so pissed off.
 
I checked a lot of information today, and there are mainly three methods:
1. Make a complaint to Temu customer service;
2. Go to Amazon customer service and tell them that your product images have been stolen and ask for help (no use)
3. File a complaint with the BBB.
 
I have tried three approaches so far:
1. Temu customer service will give you a complaint link. You fill in the information and wait for the customer service to process it. Then see if it is useful later.
2. Amazon customer service told you to contact temu customer service :)
3. BBB complaint does not seem to support copyright complaints now, but I have submitted it anyway. Never mind, let's give it a try.
The bbb website is this: https://www.bbb.org/
 
Having said that, can those Zhiwu sellers who have encountered the same problem discuss it together and get Temu's link removed from the shelves in this case?
----------------------------------------
Time: Every other day

Since the complaint website stipulates that only files under 5M can be uploaded, I just uploaded a screenshot of the PSD, but it was useless. Good job, Temu team.

Has anyone successfully filed a complaint?

----------------------------------------
 
Several experts have already given solutions, and everyone can take measures based on their own situation.

I would like to take this opportunity to talk about the current chaos of Temu. The current state of the industry gives me the feeling of copying, which is too similar to domestic e-commerce. Everyone copies each other, and also keeps the price down. It is said that many foreigners jump from Amazon to Temu because of the price problem...

Many people in the comment section reflected a lot of temu problems:
1. Sellers use Amazon pictures to find suppliers
2. The platform is too lazy to manage and cannot manage
3. Use the image with logo directly
4. In the official WeChat group of Temu, the category contact person posts a list of required products in the group, using product pictures uploaded by other sellers on Amazon, without blurring the logo

There are many more issues that have not been mentioned. Sellers who have had similar experiences can share their comments.

If you are doing TEMU and like to steal pictures, please be careful and don't get into trouble and regret it later when you get TROed by others.

I don’t care whether the complaint is useful or not. I only know that this kind of unethical business behavior will only destroy the environment of the entire industry, and we must defend our rights! Otherwise, those people will only get worse! ! Damage the interests of more Amazon sellers!

Regarding the current stolen pictures, I probably won't file a complaint. On the one hand, it's because of the product, on the other hand, it's because of the product's profit. Mainly, the problem with the product itself makes me feel that it's a bit unnecessary to spend money to protect my rights. But I will try to file a free complaint. I worked hard to make the pictures, and I paid someone to take them. Others copied and pasted them with one click, and they even put their logos on them. The price was a little lower than mine. It's murderous and heartbreaking.

To quote Comrade Shu Ren: "There are no roads in the world, but when more people walk on it, it becomes a road."

The first step is to register the Chinese copyright. You can see the pictures in Guizhou Province. It will take 5 days to get the certificate and you can register on Taobao.

The second step is to provide the certificate to temu and your own business license after the certificate is issued, which can prove that the copyright of the picture belongs to you and that you are the right holder. If temu does not handle it, write down their complaint number, ask temu to provide the supplier's business license and contact information, and go to the Internet Court to sue for copyright infringement, and ask the court to order a cost of no less than 20,000 RMB for rights protection.

If Temu does not provide the supplier information, threaten to transfer the copyright of my pictures to Shein and give Shein evidence so that Shein can use it more easily against Temu when he sues you, or directly let an American lawyer sue Temu and make him bear joint and several liability. Because you reported it and they did not deal with it, the platform will no longer have immunity. This is why Amazon will directly remove the products from the shelves as long as there is a complaint and the evidence is reasonable, and wait for your appeal.

For images with logos, you don't need to file a copyright complaint. You can directly file a complaint for trademark infringement by providing the electronic certificate of the trademark, your business license, and contact information. Use a timestamp to record the evidence and ask the platform to handle it. At the same time, file a complaint to BBB, providing your evidence, trademark, and timestamp. If temu does not handle it, you can copy the email notifying BBB.

Register a 1688 store, and list your own products at low prices. Set the minimum order quantity to 1,000 or more, such as 20,000. At the same time, if conditions permit, you can place an order and do some sales (to facilitate temu to grab price data). At the same time, temu also sets up a store, lists this product at the lowest price, and after it is reviewed and listed, quote a low price. If it passes the review, it will not be sent out without stock. The final result is that the product of the same model as yours will be forced to join the discount price. In this case, he may not make any profit. If he refuses to lower the price, he may be restricted and unable to sell. I hope it helps you.

Step 1: Register the image copyright with the U.S. Copyright Office (in the case of self-registration, you can register up to 750 images for $55);
Step 2: Wait for copyright to be issued (one to two months);
Step 3: Contact a US lawyer, file a lawsuit for infringement in a US court, and apply for a temporary injunction;
Step 4: The lawyer contacts TEMU to apply for freezing the account and funds.
 
The above is a completely effective solution.
