Sales problems

Hello. For some time now, I’ve had almost no views or sales. Is there still a bug on your end, or do you have any information?

Sincerely, Jeremie

Hello, I don’t have much of a view either. I noticed one thing: the vast majority of views and favorites come from abroad, but very few from France. Have you noticed the same thing?

It must be said that there are several hundred million items online, already close to 100 million for Zara, so to be visible… you have to be really niche.
Gone are the old-fashioned sales where you could sell a bit of everything.
And you have to be active. very active. in addition to having beautiful ads, responding, following up.

Hello
I rather agree with vive la fac on the point that you need to be active to sell well… In particular, publish regularly so as not to fall to the bottom of the lists… After that, it all depends on your items for sale, their condition, brands, photos, descriptions, prices… Anyway, that’s it :rofl: a bit of everything
I don’t think there’s a bug at this level

On professional accounts, there is clearly a bug (or intention) regarding visibility. Many have noticed very random visibility for a few months. Personally, I’ve seen articles get as many views in one evening as in two weeks. And sales are often correlated with these cycles. For example, last Thursday morning, my articles started getting views, €300 in sales in 2 hours, and suddenly 0 views and no more sales for the rest of the day. And it’s been like this since mid-January.

Yes, maybe, I’m not a pro
…Is this intentional or not on Vinted’s part… I’d really like to know
In any case, for my part, I don’t get many views but I sell… To the extent of my investment, of course… Which has been almost non-existent for a while now :sweat_smile:… So it’s few sales and few views
Honestly, there are so many variables to consider
Maybe Vinted selects articles or brands to highlight one by one, or the opposite, depending on the quantities for sale on the platform… As if to « clear out »

So I think I have a vision and sales problem too… But the other way around
Let me explain
I have one particular item, posted several months ago and not of much interest to buyers since… Except since the integration of Ireland… From then on, it is regularly viewed and favorited… I receive offers (which I accept) but in the end, it’s still there… So far nothing strange…
Since this morning, I have accumulated more than twenty favorites (in the space of an hour) and it continues on this SAME item… I’m starting to find it strange… why is everyone suddenly looking for this brand or this item? And especially why does no one end up buying it? :sweat_smile:

Hello, I’m not a pro either and I had the same case on Sunday evening on an item with a lot of followers at once, whereas until now there weren’t many followers. It ended up selling the next day. On my other items, I also had a resurgence of followers. Once the sale was finalized on this item, my views dropped suddenly!! I found that too weird!!

Generally, it’s because there’s news related to the product.
Recently, the same book was sold twice, via Vinted and another platform, a book that had garnered no interest for 6 months. Some influencer must have talked about it.

Yes, it’s very strange, this sudden and intense interest… At least you managed to sell it… He won’t let me go :rofl:

Yes, possible… Perhaps in Ireland and Germany this article is popular…

I think Vinted plays with profile visibility. Sometimes yes, sometimes no!! Pros or not, we are all impacted in the end, regardless of the category of items we offer. Maybe I’m wrong, but that’s how I’ve felt for some time!!

Maybe… Who knows… But it all seems complicated to me… What criteria should be used?
I don’t think that has ever happened to me… There are no surprises for me when I am active and publish regularly, I sell and as soon as I let things stagnate, sales do too.
Views are the same…
Except for this mystery item

Good evening, thank you for your relevant answers.
Normally, I sell regularly and I also publish regularly.
But since last Friday, there has been a drop in views. A drop in favorites.
This is completely abnormal. I have been selling for over 4 years and this is the first time this has happened.

Indeed, that’s not « normal. » Perhaps you could try deleting those articles that aren’t being viewed and republishing them at different times to see…

Like Jerem34300, I am consistent in my posts and sales.
The drop came overnight and since then it’s been a yo-yo. I’ve also been selling for quite some time now and this has never happened to me before. That’s what makes me think of the algorithm, but then again, that’s just my opinion.

I republish every day (minimum 30) or add new articles every week. And there is clearly a yo-yo effect.

You reassure me, I’m not the only one who thinks that!!! :grinning_face:
This weekend, I will publish new jewelry and republish old ones. I redid a whole series of new photos. I will monitor the views!!
Have a nice evening!!

And well, you know what?! The famous item that bombarded me with favorite notifications yesterday (at least a good 60) is FINALLY SOLD :sweat_smile: :partying_face:
It’s a small parenthesis in this topic, but I didn’t believe in it so much anymore that I had to share my joy :rofl:
