Indeed, Gemini adds a watermark ON the photo (invisible to the naked eye) and programs can then know that it was generated by AI.
We will see how to manage this but indeed, it may not be simple…
In any case, it seems to me that for the moment Vinted does not prohibit AI-generated photos as long as they are honest and comply with the product. So there is no problem in the short term.
Hello, my account has just been restricted for 3 days because of the first photo of each of my items generated by ChatGPT. The reason given is, taking photos from other sellers, or taken from the Web or poor quality. Since all 3 reasons are false, I conclude that it is the AI.
He doesn’t officially ban them, but all of mine were blocked, even though I checked that they looked exactly like the default. By superimposing the edits, some photos have a less obvious imprint, and only those pass for republication.
It’s a real headache.
Thanks for your answer.

I’ve already tried one or the other, but the trace left by Gimini is in the pixels of the image, so basically, we don’t know if we’ve really gotten rid of it.
I asked Gimini if he could see the trace, and he acknowledged the AI’s mark.
Here I’m trying with Stability Matrix, but not knowing anything about it, it’s a real headache, and I’m not even sure my PC is powerful enough for the program!!
Cases of blocking/restrictions are generally due to Vinties coordinating on Facebook to report AI photos (yes, some people have a lot of free time 
)
I advise you to download your personal Vinted data and check your reports: you will immediately see if the block occurred at the same time as a wave of reports.
The information can be obtained at https://www.vinted.fr/settings/privacy/request_data_export then by clicking on « Make the request »
I don’t post photos on Facebook
When someone finds your closet, they share it in Facebook groups dedicated to reporting them. Even if you are not on Facebook or do not share your closet
Exactly. They coordinate on Facebook when they find a listing to report on Vinted. And they target anything that looks too much like AI photos 
Check your reports, you’ll know for sure.
Once I have received my data, in which section can I find these reports?
no life!!! emotional, psychological, and intellectual misery 
Same here, three days… Now I make a systematic appeal.
I also filed an appeal with FEVAD and legal@vinted.fr.
Thanks for your feedback! What is FEVAD?
FEVAD is the Federation of e-commerce and distance selling, Vinted is a member.
There is a folder dedicated to reports made by third parties. « Alert_by_others_Members » or something of that nature.
It doesn’t give me the option to appeal. And since for the moment it only masks, I say nothing.
I managed to get 1 to 2 modified photos through, but I had managed to remove the watermark (I’m asking Gimini to see if it’s there or not), but the system isn’t reliable enough to share it.
Unfortunately, Vinted did detect all photos with SynthID. The one where I managed to remove it (after checking with Gimini) is currently not detected.
Hello
So, as seen on the news..tf1 8pm.
Vinted bans AI photos.
They are cracking down on it, by the way.
All my friends have had their accounts at least restricted for 3 days.. or 7.. or.. banned.
So I no longer use AI photos. I had very few, so I put them back to normal. Out of fear of being banned too.
Vinted has announced it will delete all listings suspected of using AI. And will impose sanctions.
As a buyer, I don’t buy if photos are retouched by AI. And it shows a lot.. big difference between AI and reality.. it looks really fake.
There you go. Have a good weekend
Hi
There’s a lot of work to be done here because Vinted is full of AI-generated photos. You don’t need to be a specialist to see it. Besides, some sellers use almost the same background for their sales.
As a buyer, I don’t buy because I don’t know what I’m going to receive.
