Favorites no longer displayed on Vinted

Hello,

Since mid-January, I’ve been encountering a major issue with favorites on Vinted:
only 1 out of 15–20 favorites appears in my notifications.

Direct consequences:

  • favorites are barely visible on Vinted,
  • the Clemz bot cannot detect them,
  • no automatic messages are sent,
  • my interactions and sales have dropped significantly.

For your information (without knowing if it’s related), shortly before the problem appeared:

  • some of my listings were blocked and then deleted (photos modified by AI),
  • then my account was suspended for 3 days.

Have others noticed:

  • favorites not showing up correctly anymore?
  • a similar issue since mid-January?

Thanks for your feedback :folded_hands:

Since a 3-day suspension for double posting, I’ve also strangely had a lot fewer favorites

The last article I published, I see I have 6 favorites on the listing, but I had 0 in my notifications… same for other articles.

Do you also have fewer favorites/visibility, or are your favorites also not showing up in your notifications?

My sales have dropped by 90%/95%, I’m thinking of starting a new account from scratch.

I need to check but it seems to me that I have almost none left on the items or in notifications.

Whereas I have a very large wardrobe and I repost 200 ads per day, not counting the new items posted, so it’s just impossible. I have 10 favorites per day now but (and many more on my personal account with many fewer ads).

Buyers can also hide their favorites in the options, maybe that’s it for you, but I think it’s more likely a glitch like me, a bug or a punishment following our suspension :sweat_smile:

I see, I have 250 items but after reposting and having no sales or almost no favorites, I only reposted 1 or 2 listings because it’s impossible to keep up with 250, to see what happens, and indeed the favorites are accumulating but I don’t have their notifications, regarding potential users who can hide their favorites (someone from Clem’z support also gave me this explanation) but statistically it’s very very unlikely to say the least impossible because on the same listing which has 6 favorites I would have come across 6 users who hide their favorites and on another which got 15 favorites I only had one or two notifications.

I think we are Shadowbanned…

I’m going to look into how to create a second account without being detected because it’s impossible to continue like this. I have 1000 articles waiting to be posted, but it’s annoying because my account had 150 positive reviews.

I had already experienced a Shadowban some time ago and now, ads are not showing up in recent listings and I have zero favorites, so I don’t think that’s it.

On my end, I check with several accounts that my ads are showing up at the top of the list when I post. I advise you to do the same.

Don’t hesitate to spam legal@vinted.fr and vinted@vinted.fr as well, saying I have no more visibility even though I respect the Terms and Conditions, blah blah blah.

At the time, as if by chance, it got me out of the Shadowban right after.

Two accounts with the same name, in principle, we are detected even if we change SIM, Wi-Fi, phone, etc.

The best thing is to use the information of some of your family members, their name and their IBAN.

It’s the opposite for me. Yesterday I posted 2 new listings but since then, it has always shown 0 likes and 0 favorites. However, this evening I received 2 notifications for these 2 listings (someone liked them).
I go back to look at the listings and I still have 0 likes and 0 favorites. The system is completely messed up, ugh.

I don’t advise you to do that, it’s too dangerous right now.
You risk losing everything.
Be brave, I’m in the same situation, no sales for weeks.

Hello
Welcome to the forum!

It was me :woman_raising_hand: who told you about that indeed. But I didn’t have the numbers.

To share my personal feedback with you: I republished 12 items last night. I got over a hundred favorites since the republication. (I’m spoiling my next forum post on the subject a little :sweat_smile:) but on Vinted’s side… No issue for me then.
Your account must indeed be in a special case at the moment, perhaps due to the temporary suspension.

Hello, thank you for your shares to all three of you.

I have started mass re-publishing again, I sold 5 items and my favorites are going up a lot more! I think I was somehow temporarily shadowbanned, as there was a real big malfunction. Since then, I’ve noticed a big improvement. I’m going to try to send packages within 1 or 2 days to flatter the algorithm and get back to « normal » activity. To be seen in the coming days/weeks.

Hello Lucille

Many of us are not selling at the moment, and yet we are re-publishing carefully!!!

Is there nothing that can be done to get un-shadowbanned?

Thank you!

Good evening
Are you sure you are shadowbanned? Can’t you find your listings in the search results?
A topic is open on the forum :right_arrow: Comment savoir si on est shadowban?

I’m not too sure, but I haven’t made any sales in 3 days, no messages, no offers :confused:
It’s very, very strange…
It worries me

have you been temporarily blocked? or have any posts been hidden/deleted or any other warnings?

No sales in 4 days and almost no favorites.

I was coming out of a 3-day restriction and obviously they always answer emails incorrectly.

I even took the display case to see if it would look better and not at all.

I had a 3-day restriction, then an article under review for 5 days, which ultimately did not result in a sanction, and since then it’s been dead quiet, more than quiet.
