Account temporarily blocked

I republished my wardrobe around noon and yet it’s at 02:30 in the morning that I make a manual modification that Vinted sends me a message to tell me that I am temporarily blocked following the detection of automated activity on my account. I recall that I manually modified the arrangement of the photos already present on my item. I can no longer publish new items or modify my items for 24 hours. I appealed, but how do you prove you are you and not a third-party automated robot.

This is the first time this has happened to me and I hope it’s the last, because I’m not going to take the risk of being banned permanently. Should I log out after using Clemz? I who wanted to switch to the « Dressing » subscription… I admit that if there is no follow-up to this, I might stop my subscription. It’s not worth it because re-registering after being banned is just as tedious.

Hello, same issue on my account at 2 a.m. during a republication, however. It’s annoying and quite surprising. I had never been blocked for 24 hours for this reason!

Nevertheless, there’s a problem with my personal account, but then I republish on my professional account, 1 by 1 this time but still with Clemz, no problem, it’s baffling!

There are times when this kind of restriction can happen for no real good reason :sweat_smile: Vinted in all its glory

Hello, I’m in the same situation this morning. Republishing and restricted account blocked for 24h for automated republishing. This is the first time this has happened to me after 3 years of using Clemz.

Small question…
In your opinion, was it the use of Clemz that « tickled » the « Bots » and prompted them to restrict accounts, or was it rather the time of use of the features that alerted them? :roll_eyes:

Hello,

Same here today (7:30 AM) but using Cassou.

I’ve been using it for 6 months and this is the first time!

This just happened to me right now! So around 8:25 AM… I only republished an article with Clemz and it automatically blocked me for 24 hours with the message that it’s for automated activity… so that scares me… I had put 500 seconds between 2 publications so that it wouldn’t happen too fast.

Hello everyone, I’m in the same situation! 1 republish this morning and blocked for 24 hours on my personal account. I don’t dare to republish on my pro account then :frowning:

WHAT is happening Clemz ???

Same thing blocked 24h

Are you sure you’re not doing anything at the same time?

The only time I had a problem with Clemz was because I was doing things at the same time as Clemz was running, and it ended up being too many operations at once.

Hello,
I am the same after manually sending messages to favorites.
I have filed an appeal.

Hello everyone,

Indeed, we have a number of users who have received a 24-hour restriction (posting prohibited) using Clemz this morning.
For the moment, we will analyze each case to understand what could have led Vinted to detect Clemz: potentially, they are targeting users quite broadly and not just Clemz users

We will get back to you with an analysis of the situation and a proposed solution.

If you haven’t already, please send us an email at bonjour@clemz.app so that we can look into your specific cases.

Does this really come from extensions or an advanced move by Vinted « bots », when there is too much activity on an account?
Even manually, there are « Bans »…

Hello,

same as you, I have just been blocked by vinted for 24h for automated activity, it’s the first time I’ve been blocked for this reason.

I republished my ads with Clemz on Saturday and got a message this morning.

Thank you

Same for me just now, a 24h ban! Now they’re waging war on Discord bots and the clemz / bleam bots etc! Soon we’ll have to start reposting manually again :hand_with_fingers_splayed: :distorted_face::smiling_face_with_tear:

Hello, just to report that I too was blocked after republication from the first announcement this morning :wink:

Damn it, I’m freaking out now because I re-posted yesterday and if the messages arrive with a delay, it could all blow up in my face very soon. I had just noticed that the announcements were no longer displayed in the order of publication, with the re-posts being « separate »…

Same for me, I reposted on Saturday evening and now I just got a message, this whole thing smells fishy :smiling_face_with_tear:

They managed to ban people from bleam too, so in my opinion, it smells bad for reposts! I reposted on Saturday and they banned me instantly, so they are on edge now. They managed to find something to detect the bot (maybe you need to put 5 minutes between two ads to see if it works or not, because many people repost every 30 seconds, so it’s not great for those who, like me, were careful to put a lot of time between two reposts). No idea on this one, they are motivated to remove Vinted bots and repost bots from their platform.

Strength to us and to you, the dev team :heart_hands:t2:
