Sudden drop in views and sales overnight: anyone else?

Hello. I posted a lot of items yesterday, some pretty good stuff, and it’s like my shop has become invisible or almost. I make 4/5 sales every day no matter what, and now nothing at all since yesterday…

I’m quite worried too, it’s very quiet considering it’s the beginning of the month, and the weather is nice so it should make people want to buy summer clothes… At first I told myself I was being « punished » because I had posted less and because it was the Easter weekend, but since then I’ve posted new listings, reposted old listings, but not much is happening concretely, at best a lot of favorites but they don’t lead to anything. I’m wondering if Vinted isn’t currently running beta tests that are slowing things down…

And clearly, we are the only ones this is happening to :sweat_smile:

Hello - It all works in waves. 3 days ago I sold 4 dark romance books and they sold within the day. So I put more online and there have been no views for 48 hours on my entire varied collection. It’s as if my account is on vacation.

Yes, that’s what destabilizes me a bit: a box for 3 days in a row and then nothing! No regularity…

yes it’s really disconcerting, and unpredictable, difficult to organize oneself as a pro.

Hello, It’s super quiet here too. I also thought about the Easter weekend, but no recovery this week. Also, with the price of gas at the pump, people might be holding back :wink:! The economic situation is not great, great! And I also have the impression that Vinted likes to have 3-4 days where it’s great views/favorites and sales, and then a dip for a few days, and then it starts again. It’s never linear!

Hello, I also have an abnormal drop in sales. for a few days. However, I checked if I was shadow banned and I wasn’t. I can’t explain this drastic drop. Even though I haven’t changed anything.

Today it’s my turn, I did 20 republican yesterday evening until 9 p.m. and I had put 2 or 3 new items on sale.

And this morning, too weird, 3 more people are following me and no favorites! That never happens normally, I have 8 or 10 in the morning.

Now, it’s possible that Vinted isn’t giving us notifications because despite the lack of favorites, I still have 3 people who have subscribed!

Same here, especially on weekends, nothing this morning!

Very quiet for me too and a wave effect also despite republication S and publication of new articles… favorites slowed down but don’t necessarily lead to anything…

Hi there :waving_hand:

For 3 weeks now, things have been catastrophic, to the point where I’m wondering if I’ve been shadowbanned (yet my listings still appear when I search for them). I have almost no favorites, offers, or messages anymore… In these last 3 weeks, I’ve only made about ten sales. I’ve tried everything (boosting listings, promotions, new items, price reductions)… For comparison, in the 3 weeks before that, I had over 100 sales. I received a first warning a few weeks ago to go professional… maybe that’s why?

I don’t think it’s because of that, I have a similar feeling, even though I haven’t seen a tenfold decrease in my sales volume. My accounts haven’t received a warning to go pro, and I still have a drop in sales. Beyond Vinted, I wonder if the rise in gas prices isn’t the main factor. In times of economic austerity, the shopping budget necessarily decreases.

Hello,

Yes, I think the economic context is playing a big role right now, plus the school holidays too.

yes, I also notice this phenomenon of waves, as if Vinted were rotating user visibility. I also notice this with the choice of carriers, which can affect sales: for a while I will have mainly Mondial relay parcels, then Chronopost, then Vinted go… and I have even noticed a rotation by region: for example, many sales in Nice, then Montpellier, etc…

how do you check it? I requested a data extraction to see if there were any reports, but no…

yes, there’s a notification delay since last night because I have favorites without views, which can happen, of course, but it’s more than usual right now

It’s easy when you post a new article, I don’t know, Levi’s jeans for example, try searching for it using the search bar and use the « most recent » filter. If it’s not on the first page and it’s at the end, it means you’ve been shadow banned.

Yes, I confirm, I have items with more favorites than views, which is not logical.

okay, thank you, I do this test from time to time because I have the impression that some articles are made invisible but so far no shadowban for that
