LegitScript Announces Marketplace Risk Benchmarking Research Program, Providing Clients with Competitive Industry Insights
LegitScript's benchmarking program employs a proprietary method that assesses risk across more than 20 global e-commerce marketplaces, leveraging automated data analysis, scoring, and human verification. In the initial benchmark assessment, LegitScript evaluated millions of products across each marketplace in categories posing the highest risk of violating policies or regulations, including:
Controlled substances
Prescription-only medicines
Cosmetics
Dietary supplements
Tobacco and vape products
Psychoactive products
Weapons and firearms
While relative risk levels vary across product categories and global regions, the benchmarking data highlighted that LegitScript monitoring reduces violative product rates on marketplaces by over 80% compared to unmonitored platforms.
'In today's competitive e-commerce landscape, platforms want to understand how their risk mitigation efforts are performing and how they stack up to others,' said Clay Moore, general manager of Platform Risk Solutions, LegitScript. 'Our new benchmarking program offers our clients the insight they need to assess performance, make policy decisions, and ultimately grow their business more confidently.'
With the world's largest database of problematic healthcare products and longstanding partnerships with some of the world's leading platforms, LegitScript is uniquely positioned to conduct this analysis.
Below are some key results.
Top Violations
In LegitScript's analysis, the following violative products most commonly appeared across platforms:
Weight loss drugs such as Acxion, Terfamex, and Redotex
Anabolic steroids such as testosterone and oxandrolone
Sexual enhancement drugs such as tadalafil and sildenafil
Skin whitening creams such as Goree Beauty Cream and Arche Pearl Cream
Tainted supplements such as Royal Honey VIP, Detoxi Slim, and Ligandrol
Top Evasion Tactics
Sellers often use evasive techniques to avoid scrutiny. LegitScript identified these as the top evasion tactics across platforms:
Misspelling violative words (e.g., 'T4dalaf1l' for tadalafil)
Image blurring to avoid image detectors
Misleading categories to hide among innocuous products (e.g., "home goods" for meds)
Pairing restricted items with innocuous descriptions or products
Coded language (e.g., "Candyland" is a common term for pill molds)
This benchmarking program adds significant value to LegitScript Platform Risk Solutions by providing a broader perspective on risk mitigation performance across the commercial internet. Contact us at legitscript.com to explore this further.
