Sending message to subscribers

Hello

I would like to inform my subscribers that my articles are now published on my professional account. But I cannot send messages to subscribers. I thought about publishing a fake announcement with the message… does anyone have any ideas…?

Have a nice day

Be careful, I did the same thing at the time and my ad was reported several times, then deleted. That was 3 years ago, so maybe it’s tolerated today, but I doubt it…

No, it should be absolutely avoided!

Vinted is uncompromising on this, and if you send more than 3-4 identical messages or if recipients report you for spam, you’ll be banned for sure.

I don’t think there’s a simple solution other than informing people gradually, through exchanges + in your description.

Ok, thanks for the advice. I was hesitating a bit. I’ll write to the subscribers about their articles. Little by little. Is that okay?

It’s 50-50… You don’t want people to consider you’re spamming them, otherwise it’s a Vinted warning and then a ban.

Thank you. Messages to favorites are 100% spam. Is that also a risk of being banned?

From Vinted’s perspective, it’s 0% spam because the person favorited an item, which triggers a notification for the seller.

If the buyer doesn’t want to send a notification, they just need to disable it in their settings.
So Vinted considers it a solicitation => Sending a message is justified :slight_smile:

At one point, they started suspending some users for messaging favoriters, but that only lasted a few days before they reversed course.

But normally you could convert your personal accounting to professional, right? So no change of account in the end?

If only it were to « transfer » my followers from my personal account to my professional account. I struggled for a month to create it and in the meantime I was selling on my personal account. But I got a warning for commercial sales on my personal account. So I transferred my items to my professional account… but not my followers.

It surprises me, commercial sales, I saw a guy with 2000 reviews and when I say he makes between 5-10 sales per day, jackets for €50-60 and still not blocked even though he’s a private seller, why switch to pro? And furthermore, all these jackets are literally counterfeits bought on Ali Express :joy: they are the Ferrari jackets etc. the ones that are very popular on Vinted right now.
