I am still stuck for 3 days

Personally, I sell my ads well with the AI photo, but after that, I only have the first photo like that, and all the other photos are not retouched.
Same, they brought back the first ads from 3 weeks ago, deleted them, and then banned me for 3 days!!! I filed a complaint stating that the clothing in the first photo is indeed identical to what I am selling but presented in a more attractive way!
Same for me, only the 1st photo is generated by AI. To whom did you file a complaint. I didnât even have time to remove these AI photos, I had already been suspended for 3 days and I got my account back Friday afternoon only to be suspended again on Sunday noon. If someone can tell me who to complain to, Iâll gladly take it.
Iâm interested in the day TF1âs news program reported this information so I can watch the replay!
They talk a lot about AI scams when buyers open a fake dispute with AI photos showing the item damaged. But I havenât found anything about AI photos in listingsâŠ
Indeed, I saw the same thing, but as I am not concerned with AI scams, I think it is precisely because of the first AI photo of each of my items. I asked them to clearly state what I am accused of, and I am waiting for a response.
I sent it to legal@vinted.be (Iâm Belgian) and legal@vinted.fr (just in case). The listings they removed are supposedly for poor quality photos, even though my photos clearly show the item. The terms and conditions donât currently prohibit it, but it does state that the item in the photos must match reality.
Hello, I just saw this very interesting discussion. So no, to date, NO Vinted/Leboncoin block, nor ANY partnership with Google to reveal SynthID. Vinted does not detect it (I would be the first to know). After that, I modify the EXIF of the photos to switch to iPhone 15 Pro mode (which doesnât change anything to the SynthID/Watermark problem)âŠ
After 3 hours of R&D, I managed to remove the SynthID 
indeed it was tough! But it consumes CPU/GPUâŠ

And then thereâs AI and AI⊠Image Editing AI Leaderboard - Best Models Compared
Hello, what is the ret and I would like to understand the file please?
Here is a photo detected by Vinted (the polo shirt) and a photo not detected. The only thing is that in the second one I managed to make the synthid pop, and the other one not, so even if itâs not able to find it, Vinted still does something!!!
Based on SynthIDâs analysis, all or most of this image was edited or generated using Googleâs Artificial Intelligence.
Yes, which is the case for both photos, but Vinted only detected the one with the Synthid marker. So even if they say they donât have the technology, they can still detect the watermark.
Are you sure it wasnât just reported by people who are hunting for AI?
Because even without SynthId, even I can tell you itâs AI

I am not in favor. these are used items. a second-hand site. for me, the product should reflect what it is, with its history, without retouching, and then the photo can also say things about its author.
If you are a professional, you must work on this part because the photo is essential. for individuals, well, itâs good that it remains individual.
Iâll take an example; when I go to a flea market, I expect amateur stalls, I donât expect a presentation like Apple or Lacoste. And thatâs what Iâll be looking for.
I want to see what Iâm buying, not something retouched like that. a little brightness, or color⊠perhaps, but this, itâs nothing like it anymore.
New is different.
I fully approve of this vision. It also limits problems with buyers and with Vinted, but it takes time and is tiring. I take about 10 photos in an hour. You have to put it on the mannequin, adjust the brightness, turn the mannequin five times, take photos of the measurements, the tags, the defects⊠After that, you have to upload the photos and write the ad. Not to mention everything that comes before. The photos are part of the description. Itâs really important that they are honest.
Today, there are AI models that create product photos that are very faithful to the original item.
We are far from the « too good to be true » photos from the early days of AI.
And I completely agree: photos must be sincere and compliant. Otherwise, itâs a lie.
Yes, thatâs why the example is striking. Both are 100% AI. The one with SynthID was detected by Vinted but the other one wasnât!
Yes, I check that my clothes are as they are in reality. After that, itâs just the facade photo, behind it there are all the photos of the item from every angle!!!
Yes, I saw on the news a few weeks ago⊠that Vinted was cracking down on AIâŠ
However, thatâs all there is in the listings and even in fake disputes. 
(Fake disputes⊠which were also featured on TF1 news).
Vinted prohibits the use of general AI, and even the sale of new items (itâs in the terms and conditions!) but still offers the choice of giving as a description « new with tags » or « without tags »âŠ
What is increasingly depressing is that any reason is valid for blocking people, whether you are a buyer or a seller! Itâs the end of Vinted, their golden age is behind them, thatâs a factâŠ
