Blocked for 5 days for no real reason

Hello, my account has just been restricted, but I don’t understand why. I only sell used items and 10 new products out of 880 items… However, I have 30 items in draft due to republications of women’s items because of sizing…

I never received any warnings before.

On a personal account? And for how long?
That’s probably the problem…

Pro account, I’m not sure. 10 new items out of 880 items for sale is very, very few, and I rarely add more…
On the other hand, according to ChatGPT, it’s because I put references like 89876 at the end of each title that it can make the bot think of dropshipping on jeans. Anyway, I’ll remove all that and we’ll see.

Yes, yes, if you put a SKU on each listing, that might be the problem. Vinted bots don’t like it when you reference listings at the end or beginning of the title with numbers.

Afterwards, check your « reports, » maybe that’s it!
Do you also use AI for your main photo? Like, do you model your jeans?
They are cracking down on fake photos, so that might be the reason too…

No, not AI, but I think given that I use clemz to republish and at the moment with the change in women’s sizes… clemz tries to publish and puts it in draft, it must have triggered the bot more than 20 times in a day + SKU + two new article republications and boom, the perfect T [shirt/product] for dropshipping, whereas my 14 listings are second-hand items and 12 new ones.

How do you do it for the SKU then?

Personally, I no longer use SKUs or references to classify on Vinted.
I classify by:
Women, men, children, then by brand in alphabetical order, e.g., Adidas first, then Benetton, Calvin Klein, etc… with labels on the racks.
It’s true that this takes up more space on the racks, but I’m lucky enough to have space.
I find my way around like this.
I also used SKUs or references, like J72F (for a Women’s Jean) or T45H for a Men’s T-shirt, but I had doubts about the « verifications in progress » or « Bans » for commercial sales which were often targeted at listings with references.
So I delete them as I go, having redone the classification and organization.

When you save as a « draft », do you quickly publish all the « drafts » in 2 clicks?
Like, do you only take 2 mins for 20 or 30 ads?
Personally, I try to leave a gap of 10 to 20 seconds between 2 « draft » publications.
(yes, we’re anxious:grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: about getting caught:grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: by these darn Bots, especially after multiple « Bans »)

I forgot directly and here it is :joy::smiling_face_with_tear:

I’ll do the same, I think he thinks I’m dropshipping Levi’s jeans, I’m going to delete these codes

I’ll put it all together and then I’ll stay calm this summer.
