Thanks for the article. It provides many simple optimization ideas, even for those not in the clothing category. I’ll get started.
I love this passage:
“The algorithm automatically analyzes your photos to assess their quality. Detected criteria include sharpness, lighting, framing, and even the item’s compliance with its category”
Given how Vinted butchers photos with its compression, it’s not bad if they actually do this.

“The algorithm automatically analyzes your photos to assess their quality. Detected criteria include sharpness, lighting, framing, and even the item’s compliance with its category.”
They are pretty good, at least in my category. But recognizing a book, a rectangular object with text elements, is perhaps not the most complex thing for a bot…
The article deals, it seems to me, more with fashion articles…
Certainly, but I found advice that can be directly applied to my category.
For example, the keywords in the ad title. Today, I put the title and author of the book there, for example, « Suicide, by Emile Durkheim ». I don’t add « sociology », and I should.
My behavior so far has been to assume that readers know what they are looking for. You don’t stumble upon this Durkheim book while looking for something else, I thought, perhaps rightly so in this specific case. However, this will not be true for all types of books, nor for all readers.
yes I think Durkheim or Bourdieu, few people buy them by chance
But I had already read that about the titles. It’s true that in my category we don’t think about it often because, for example, with a Star Wars figurine, we think that the important thing is Star Wars, not Hasbro/Kenner
Here’s how to proceed specifically:
-
First part: Essential keywords
- Mention the exact book title and the author’s name, as these are the terms buyers most often type.
- Example: The Alchemist Paulo Coelho.
-
Second part: Attractive details
- Add elements that differentiate your listing: condition, edition, format (paperback, hardcover), year, or even rare or collector’s item.
- Example: — 2002 paperback edition very good condition.

Not at all convinced by this misleading analysis. Let me explain:
This is advertising, not a guide.
I’m seeing more and more articles like « The Complete Guide to the Vinted Algorithm » (particularly the one by Tissuco), and I think we need to take a step back.
First problem: nobody knows the Vinted algorithm. Nobody. These articles do guesswork reverse-engineering and present their hypotheses as established facts. The « 7 ranking factors » with weighting stars, the magic formulas (« Visibility Score, » « Profile Health Indicator »), the ultra-precise time slots (« Wednesday 7 p.m.-9 p.m. »)… all of this comes out of nowhere.
No sources, no verifiable data. Hot air. Many of us here see that there’s no established logic.
Second problem: the « measured results. » +60% visibility with drip feeding, +150% CTR with better photos… These figures are not backed by anything. No methodology, no sample, no test conditions. It’s marketing disguised as expertise. More hot air.
Why?
Because Tissuco sells a Vinted listing management tool. The article is designed to create a problem (« the algorithm is complex ») and sell the solution (« our AI generates optimized descriptions »).
Finally, the advice that is actually true in the article — taking good photos, writing descriptive titles, responding quickly to messages, not spamming — these are not secrets of the Vinted algorithm. They are basic principles of e-commerce and commercial common sense. They apply just as well on Leboncoin, eBay, Etsy, or any marketplace. Presenting them as « Vinted Algorithm 2026 Tips » is, once again, hot air.
For sellers who do high volume (professional shops, buy-and-sell), the advice to post « 1 to 3 items per day » is completely out of touch with reality. When you have hundreds or thousands of items to list, it’s unworkable. You have to be « st**id » to write something like that if it’s a human.
In short, keep your critical thinking skills sharp when faced with this type of content.

(Because of the smiley, your post looks like ChatGPT 
).
I wonder what the point is of putting « very good condition » in the title since it’s already displayed via a specific field.
In the title, you need the most searched general keywords for what you are selling. Adjectives; that’s up to you. On other platforms, results depend solely on your search and what is in the title. This greatly facilitates searching.
Hello, I’m reviving this topic because personally, I’ve always done exactly what’s advised in these « great guides » for several months. Yes, it worked very well, except that for the past 2 weeks, nothing has worked. Here’s the situation: 2/3 hours of views & favorites, then 5/6 hours of TOTAL emptiness. Or, something I’ve never seen before: Out of 6 articles posted at the same time using the same technique: 1 article gets 200 favorites (wtf, even that didn’t happen to me) and the others get 1 or 0 views. NO logic.
Do you have several identical books? same author, same year? if so, does this pose a problem of duplication or are different photos sufficient?
thank you
@141: no, I do not have multiple copies of a given book. I already have trouble selling this copy, so if I happen to get another one, I refrain.
Okay, I thought you could have several copies. Well, the issue of duplicate ads doesn’t arise then.
