I was quietly re-uploading my items when I received this:
Hello licorne_407,
It appears you’ve used Vinted in a way that goes against our Terms and Conditions. We’ve therefore temporarily restricted your account while we investigate the situation. We monitor for potential platform abuse using automated tools and third-party reports, which detected the content currently under moderation.
While your account is restricted, you cannot buy items or add new payment methods.
We will get back to you once we have completed our review. This may take up to 5 days.
Thank you for your understanding,
The Vinted Team
This tells me they are blocking my account, even though I can still upload and buy (correction, I can no longer buy!). Is my wardrobe still visible and have other people received the same message as me?
Good evening
As indicated in the message, it is temporarily restricted. So yes, if we go to your profile, we can see your listings, but they do not appear in searches etc. (in short, everything indicated in the message).
We just have to wait for them to finish their verification.
Personally, I received this message once, it was before I subscribed to Clemz.
I never knew what they meant by « It seems you have used Vinted in a way that goes against our Terms and Conditions ». I hadn’t done anything specific.
In any case, 24 hours later, I realized that my account was no longer restricted. They didn’t notify me that they were lifting the restriction.
In short, it’s a mystery.
