Okay, I made a mistake. Since I had relisted an item as part of a group purchase (but the buyer didn’t take it), I made an error when putting it back up for sale. Next time, it’s a punishment: I’ll be banned for a week or permanently.

Hello - yes, it’s the robot. I’ve received it several times already and told them I don’t appreciate this kind of threat when it’s their rotten robot’s fault for being unable to spot a duplicate when you upload it.
Don’t worry, it’s an automated message. I regularly make the mistake and have never had any sanctions.

Hello,
This happens to me regularly too and I’ve never been penalized. If anyone has ever been penalized for this, I’d be interested to know. I imagine a penalty could happen, but is it based on the number of warnings or the ratio of warnings/number of items in the closet? Because obviously, the bigger the closet, the greater the risk of accidental duplication.
Have a good weekend

I am also surprised. The threat of a ban mentioned above is more aimed at prohibited items. I experienced it because of the nude image on the cover of a book.
Furthermore, Vinted is quite good at spotting photo borrowing. I wanted to move a listing from one account to another, and I uploaded the new one a few moments before deleting the old one => oops, a rejection.
Similarly, I tried using a book cover downloaded from an online bookstore instead of my own photo => oops, a rejection. (In this case, after three days of investigation: the bot saw there might be a problem, and a human was asked to check)
Those who resell Shein or similar items are increasingly forced to modify photos. AI does this very well, but it still takes time.
