Did you see the update to the terms and conditions for personal accounts?
Do you think the fact that it is no longer MangoPay, which was independent and, if I understand correctly, allowed the same person (identity card verification) to have multiple wallets (therefore multiple accounts), changes the possibility of having several personal accounts?
I only have one, but given the many recent bans, many have created new personal accounts to compensate for this… This would be a new way to lock down this « empire » even more.
Apparently, this is already implemented on Vinted UK and there are no issues with multi-accounting.
Vinted will have its own payment system, but that doesn’t mean they will directly handle identity verification. It’s a very complex process, and usually, third-party services take care of it. Also, I’m not 100% sure, but under GDPR, storing ID card numbers is prohibited (to be confirmed), so I don’t think it will change much.
I just looked at Vinted’s authorizations in Europe for financial activities, but I don’t see that they have this type of authorization. Amendment: a bank in Lithuania has delegated this capacity . We’re in trouble. After Vinted, go Vinted Pay. That promises things.
I got my €620 from my wallet to secure it but I’ll wait as late as possible to validate it. I’ll wait a bit for feedback from others… even if in the end we won’t have a choice, you won’t be able to use Vinted anymore..
