Lack of visibility after republication: what do you think?

I re-posted on Wednesday and Thursday. I swapped the photos and added a background to throw people off, lol

Wednesday 0 favorites, posted at 6:30 p.m., and yesterday re-posted at 6:30 a.m., a little better, 5 favorites.

I re-post 20 ads per day given my very small closet. It’s also possible that the broadcast time is very crowded because my listing is full, so the ads get absorbed. I tested it by searching for my ads on Wednesday evening, and in 2 minutes, more than 50 ads had been posted. So, it might simply be that.

Thank you for your feedback.

This is what I will do, but I believe it was by republishing that I ended up with a duplicate article, which I imagine can happen…

I can’t even appeal!

If you have to click on none of these situations apply to me. Then it’s up to you to plead your case with good arguments.

And I just made the mistake today, probably because of the bug where the page closes when you republish.

I relaunched the thing without checking and it posted the ad twice, I think that’s the only explanation. I got a 3-day account restriction. And 3 days last week too, but that was my manual mistake this time.

I’ll have to re-edit the photos with the extension to take zero risks.

Thank you for this screenshot!

The section « Items relisted without changes after being sold or removed » worries me a lot because that’s the definition of a republish!

What is written under this paragraph?

It states: “It is not permitted to re-list an item that has been sold, deleted, or already listed, without significant modification to the listing.”

For a few days now, there seems to have been a problem with re-listings, and there have been a lot of 3-day bans for duplicates (numerous reports on Facebook and various forums)… It seems that Vinted is flagging photos even if they are slightly modified.

It is said that Vinted has improved its AI.

For people with attention disorders, it’s just hell

Hello

Several of us have noticed this problem of visibility dropping since Wednesday.
I am preparing new announcements in draft. They are impacted.

Disgusting, I have to edit the photos like this, no more problems, even if I don’t like editing them in the first place, but there’s really no choice between careless mistakes and possible republication bugs, too risky.

Yes, there is an issue, I think, because after being restricted for 3 days, I republished as soon as possible, so today, and now I have an article “verification in progress” since this morning!!

And no messages, no sales unlike usual, so verification in progress = 0 visibility

Good evening!
I continue to republish my items, without modification to my photos and I have not received any messages from Vinted (fingers crossed :sweat_smile:)
However, make sure you do not have duplicates or similar items (with very similar photos too) as the platform has been penalizing this for a few days :slightly_smiling_face:

I had two bot alerts in one week

You shouldn’t try too hard to understand, they do whatever they want with our accounts and our visibility.

It’s 1 p.m., I’ve had two favorites since midnight on a shop with 2000+ items and having relisted at least 100 ads since this morning :rofl:

I sent emails asking if I had any restrictions, obviously they will reply that you need to buy boosts and the shop showcase.

I just came out of a 3-day restriction for duplicate ads out of nowhere. Forced to fiddle with multiple accounts to get by on this sh*t*t*t*t site

On my end, after a 3-day restriction for an alleged duplicate, I now have an item under review for almost 48 hours… and my items are invisible because nothing is moving.

Could you provide a screenshot to help us understand what you mean by « bot alert »?

no because it’s an alert that sounds (really) with the message clemz telling me that Vinted suspects a bot, go to another page that is encrypted then return to my closet page. This makes the message disappear

Thanks for the feedback! It’s a warning for a captcha.
Are you then applying the manipulations we indicate here? :right_arrow: https

Hello,
Same for me, I am one of the « big » sellers on Vinted with over 7000 items.
I really feel like re-listing items is no longer very useful, I hardly sell anything anymore when I easily make €20K per month…
They must have made changes to the algorithm, visibility is very random…

Hi, have you ever had a pro account blocked?

Do you know if it’s true that after 6 months you can create a new account with the same IBAN?
