Banned for sexually explicit article

Hello

After several attempts to understand the reasons that led to my permanent ban, I received a refusal from them… I was supposedly blocked « for attempting to sell sexually explicit items or services »!

Obviously, this is ridiculous. It’s impossible to prove my good faith! I am discouraged by so much injustice and mistreatment.

Has anyone else had this unpleasant experience??

Yes, that happened to me. And even twice.

The first time because of a Manara comic, whose cover image, I admit, very well announced the theme. I was banned for a week.

The second time because of the cover of a paperback in Folio

There, I protested, I sent links to the author, to the Wikipedia page of the title, and I was reinstated on Monday morning as soon as a French person returned to the office to look.

It’s the images that cause problems, not the texts. I have Sade’s books for sale, no problem, even though it’s impossible to get more pornographic.

Conclusion: take no risks. If an image shows nudity, I partially mask it. Some also take photos from afar so that the algorithms don’t freak out at the sight of nudity.

The only thing that comes to mind is that I listed socks for sale right before the message announcing my ban. I find it hard to believe that this was the offending listing, but who knows…

Hello,

Ah, so we won’t be able to sell the Venus de Milo?.

Regards.

Neither Liberty Leading the People.
But already, when Delacroix adorned the 100-franc notes, it excited some foreign citizens…

Thank you for this informative exchange. I sell a few books on my personal account (and fashion as a professional), and thanks to you, I now know to avoid posting covers showing nudity.

Many on Vint Aide mention being banned.
Could we try to list all the situations that have led to a ban? This would help anticipate…
Over to you for experience sharing…

Hello,

It’s weird, I just searched for Marquis de Sade on Vinted and it gives me over 500 results and nice ones :face_with_open_eyes_and_hand_over_mouth: ?, I don’t understand? :thinking:

A+
