Hello, my account has been restricted for 3 days. Reason: I reposted an ad containing a typo in the brand name… consequently, a 3-day restriction for an incorrect brand name 
Has this happened to anyone else before?

Hello
There are clearly very big problems with accounts being automatically suspended right now, mine was permanently suspended for selling counterfeit goods (for a Promod Haute Couture item!), I’ve sent emails and made requests via the app but no response!
You’re « lucky », mine is only 3 days and temporary
Good luck everyone!

Oh dear, poor you… I was suspended for almost a month for the same reason. I made two requests for review through support and also sent an email to legal@vinted.fr, and I think it was that email that made things happen. Try to appeal again on the app and send an email with all possible evidence as a backup… I hope this helps you.

@helene2484 any idea of a procedure to follow for your permanent ban?

Yes, it’s happening more and more unfortunately. Vinted has significantly strengthened its automatic brand-related filters due to issues with counterfeit items and deliberate keyword manipulation.
The problem is that the algorithm doesn’t really differentiate between:
-
A genuine, unintentional typo
-
Someone deliberately altering a brand name to avoid detection.
Having reposted the ad probably worsened the automatic flagging. I’ve already seen restrictions for « incorrect brand », « misleading keywords », or even simple inconsistency in the title.
In recent months, Vinted’s moderation seems much more automated than before, with very little human verification at the first level.
