💻 The Role

We’re looking for CX Agents to join our CX Counterfeit team, a group dedicated to resolving complex cases involving suspected counterfeit items. In this role, you’ll investigate buyer claims related to counterfeit concerns, collaborate closely with sellers to assess evidence and determine fair outcomes, and ensure buyers receive authentic items or appropriate reimbursement.

This role blends the investigative focus of Trust & Risk with the customer-first mindset of CX to uphold trust and deliver fair, consistent experiences across our marketplace.

• Investigate complex counterfeit cases end-to-end to ensure fair and timely resolutions

• Work efficiently through assigned queues and backlogs while maintaining quality and SLA standards

• Provide thoughtful, empathetic support to buyers and sellers, ensuring both parties feel heard and informed

We offer flexibility to work from home or from one of our global office hubs, and we value in-person time for planning, problem-solving, and connection. Team members in this role must live within commuting distance of our Phoenix hub.
