Cannot republish certain articles

Hello, I wanted to repost some ads yesterday, and for those in the jewelry category and hair accessories category, they were put into draft.

When I try to publish the draft, it asks me for a subcategory that doesn’t exist.

Has anyone else had this issue? (I saw in the post about automated restrictions that Sabine had the same thing)

I posted new ads (one created manually and one using the new Clemz auto-completion feature, and there were no problems, they were published perfectly.

Indeed, I have the same problem for 2 ads, a necklace and a belt.

I’m asked to choose a sub-category and I can’t publish the ad :thinking:

I wanted to re-publish all my jewelry and keychains as well and it was exactly the same thing…

Hello everyone,

indeed we have been on the subject since this morning, it seems to be a bug on Vinted’s part.
We are continuing to investigate to best understand what is happening.

In case you need it, a little info: I tried to re-list all of this on the afternoon of the 29th. The first keychain went through, and it was from the second one onwards that I was banned for 24 hours. My ban was lifted just now around 1:45 p.m., so we can say that the Vinted bug definitely started after 2 p.m. yesterday.

It happened to me Monday late afternoon / early evening

Hello everyone,

It seems the issue has been resolved since last night… can you confirm this from your end?
Thank you for your help! :slightly_smiling_face:

No, it wasn’t resolved
I performed the requested tests and sent a message to Clément

I was able to re-publish these ads with the auto-completion feature, but it ended up costing me 14 re-publications for 7 ads :pensive_face:

Thank you very much for the team’s responsiveness!!

Thank you very much to the whole team!!

This seems to be resolved. There was an update from Vinted, and I think it must have been on their end because I tried several different things and everything is working perfectly now (except for the listings that were saved as drafts and remained unpublishable).

from my side for keychains, it still doesn’t work at the moment, I’m asked for a subcategory that doesn’t exist…

I republished the jewelry ads that had gone into draft and where I was asked to put a non-existent subcategory via auto-completion and they have gone through

Vinted bug.

If it’s a necklace, Vinted doesn’t accept the necklace category, so I put another category temporarily, I validate, and then I can modify the listing again.

But I was blocked this morning following this procedure, I don’t know if that’s the cause.

Same problem this morning, Friday, for jewelry

Yes, it’s a Vinted bug, but with auto-completion it recreates a new listing from the old one, if I understood correctly.

For me, all these buggy listings have gone back to being perfect.

Vinted doesn’t like it when you put an inadequate category, and it attracts the robot’s attention… Given the current waves of restrictions, it’s not very wise in my opinion…

By republishing with auto-completion, you can modify the listing (in the case of these buggy listings, put the category ‹ necklace › or ‹ bracelet ›, etc., because the category has disappeared) BEFORE publishing, you save time and don’t attract the robot’s attention, which would have detected the wrong category.

You should try it, I’m sure your listings will go through like mine did :blush:

On my side, the auto-completion doesn’t work any better

Thanks Flo. I wanted to test the autocompletion to republish my listings that bugged due to the category and ended up as drafts.

I added them to my to-do list from my smart dressing, since they are listings that are drafts.

I wonder if I shouldn’t fetch them from the clemz backup. But that will be a bit more tedious.

I absolutely do not want to create duplicate listings because each of my items is unique. Can you explain autocompletion a bit more?
