Mercado Libre, a popular online marketplace in Latin America, plans to crack down on sales of counterfeit Apple products through its website. <\/p>\n

\n

Online sellers who use Mercado Libre<\/a> (also known as Mercado Livre in Brazil) have begun receiving emails warning against peddling fake Apple products. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Sellers caught hawking counterfeit items, such as AirPods<\/a>, will have all listings selling Apple products removed. In addition, Mercado Libre will ban that account from selling any Apple products in the future. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

According to an email seen by<\/a> 9to5mac<\/em>, Mercado Libre will take action against a seller “if Apple confirms a report of counterfeit products,” which suggests that both companies could be working together to stop sales of such items. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Apple products are routinely copied by disingenuous third-party sellers, with some of the fakes being nearly indistinguishable from the authentic products. AppleInsider<\/em> recently pointed out just how close these knockoffs can get<\/a> to the real thing. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
