Hello, it was bound to happen and here it is: I got banned.
I am not a pro and do not wish to become one for various reasons. I was selling well, not a huge amount either, but it allowed me to treat myself.
I have filed an appeal and sent emails to all addresses, including those of the CEO and his right-hand man, but I have little hope…
I would therefore like to create a new account, and I’ve browsed the forum quite a bit, so I have a few questions:
For the new phone number, would an e-SIM card with a new number work? (1 phone with 2 numbers on it) or is it better to use a different phone altogether?
For the computer: what needs to be deleted so that there are no more traces of the old account?
For the new IBAN: if this bank account is in my name but with only the initial of my first name, would that be okay? And for the bank card?
For home WiFi, I read that a VPN is needed so that the IP address is different, how to do it (knowing that I’m quite hopeless with all these things)
It seems that at some point they ask for the tax number and ID card, that’s where it will get tricky… Any ideas?
The only thing that will be fine is the new email because that’s within my capabilities
You need to use a new device, a new phone number, a new IBAN, and at first be discreet because they will recognize you. New photos, not the same contact details, in short, they are quite annoying…
I’ve tried everything and I’m still struggling, yet I’m trying to do everything not to attract attention, but it always gets me
Thank you very much!
I think I remember having to register a credit card too, under the same name, that’s rough
If I manage it, I plan to keep a very low profile…
They spot you and you have to start all over again each time? What a pain!!! They’re really impossible!!
Honestly, I’ve tried everything, tons of second-hand items mixed with a few items from my own stock, no longer offering multiple sizes or colors, I’m trying not to sell too much. And yet, after a month, I was restricted from commercial sales for 5 days.
I was also reported by another Vintie a few days prior, I’m sure this denunciation played a role and caused me to be flagged. If no one reports you, you’re fine, but unfortunately, people are mean and jealous.
The ban is indeed illegitimate
I am addicted to shopping, I sold what I didn’t use (as the ad says ). I lost 27 kg, so a lot of clothes to sell, often never worn… One of my hobbies is jewelry making and I sold some of my creations, I am also a guitarist and collect guitar picks and sold my doubles… Over the years I’ve accumulated a lot of junk that I put up for sale…
In short, it’s true that I had a lot of new items but I had changed all my listings to « very good condition » and I got banned anyway
Since on Vinted we are judged by robots, it’s not easy to prove my good faith
I filed an appeal and sent an email to every Vinted contact I could find. I even sent an email to the CEO and other executives… I’m going to keep sending it regularly until someone responds. I’m tired of robots that have no discernment
