Hello,
My professional account is restricted for 3 days due to counterfeiting. Has anyone else had this problem?
Hello, same problem for me… Except they blocked me permanently… They deleted 4 of my ads for allegedly being counterfeit, even though my items are all authentic… It’s completely ridiculous! Good luck
I had exactly the same thing for 5 days, because of two ads.
Impossible to exchange with them to unblock the situation.
So, from the 3rd day of restriction, I still continued to republish (buy / cancel) and it worked.
I received a warning email a few days ago about a second-hand Balenciaga sweatshirt in just good condition. With all its tags and certificates, etc. I’m just warning everyone about what’s happening on social media and forums. There’s a witch hunt with reports that some people are doing. Take a look at threads, it’s eye-opening. There are Vinted redemption missionaries. You published your numbers very recently. That’s all it takes, and even less for trolls. 
A few hours later, you’re banned. Coincidence, perhaps. Anyway, you have to try to stay under the radar as much as possible. I tremble every time I post a branded item, refuse an offer, or get into a (always polite) argument with a Vinted hysteric (there are a lot of them). And this AI is a disaster. It’s poor quality. It has no archive data. Vinted is afraid of being condemned in Europe following the Shein case, following the investigations Vinted has been subjected to (prostitution, child sexual abuse, sale of live animals, etc.). GOOD LUCK
I understand the concern, especially when one has already experienced restrictions.
For my part, I mainly have the impression that Vinted’s moderation bots are poorly configured at the moment, with a lot of false positives on brands.
Many accounts are temporarily restricted or banned without clear logic, and then everything returns to normal.
In my opinion, there’s no need to fall into paranoia; it’s mostly a somewhat shaky automated system.
We also read testimonies from Vintees who receive a warning for « excessive reporting, » and it can happen with as few as 8 or 9 reports.
After 8 or 9 reports, it is indeed serial killing. But I remain convinced that we professionals should not publicize our numbers. Good or bad.
Good news. They really need to invest in a better quality AI.
Or in qualified employees

Hello,
It’s been 6 days now that I’ve been stuck and still nothing on my end… Despite about a hundred tickets opened… Did you put the same message in each ticket? Or a different message for each one?
In any case, I’m happy for you and your situation gives me some hope.
It’s over. We’ve entered the Blade Runner era.
"Yes, since we marked it as sent in error, all the restrictions it implied have been canceled.
Thank you for your
understanding."
Bravo!
I imagine you’ve harassed the Vinted support?
