How to know if members are reporting your ads? Here's the trick

Good evening everyone,

I’m sharing what I learned today!

I think experienced Vinted users already know this, but just in case…

How to get the list of reports made against you.

Go to your account > settings > privacy settings > manage account data

Vinted will say « Request and download a copy of your Vinted account data. »

Click on « Make the request »

Vinted will send you an email asking you to confirm the request.

Vinted will then indicate « We are preparing your data » click Close.

Vinted will then display: « Your data is being prepared… »

When it’s finished, the Download button will be available.

Download your data (it’s in zip format)

Once the zip file is downloaded, open it. You will find several folders. The one we are interested in is called « alerts_by_other_members ». Inside, you will find an « index » file. Open it.

You will then find all the reports that other members may have made on your listings…

Yes… some would have filled entire trains in '39-'45…

Anyway, here’s the tip of the day!

Have a good evening everyone

Hello - that’s interesting. I checked a few years ago when my account was banned. I was able to see minute-by-minute reports for all sorts of reasons, but Vinted doesn’t flag any of this. Even a bot should be able to detect that a barrage of reports from a single user isn’t normal. Back then, there was a Vinted forum, and it wasn’t wise to express yourself there for fear of displeasing someone, or if you had refused a price offer, then revenge would follow.

Thanks for the tip, indeed there are people who have nothing else to do, it’s quite sad…

I understand better why I have been suspended 3 times for 3 days in 2 months. The militia is rampant!

I’m only showing you a sample of the denunciations….life is good!

hello - as I was saying above, AI is not intelligent enough to detect anomalies.

Someone has it in for you personally, but you can’t know who.

Hello, what category of products do you sell? Also, you often have the same type of reporting, do you use AI for your photos?
