Return of shadow ban for reposted articles

Hello everyone,

In the last few days, I’ve noticed a drop in views and favorites, and therefore in my sales on Vinted.

For example, yesterday I posted 20 new items, and when typing the keywords in the search bar, I couldn’t find them at the top. On the contrary, they were at the very bottom.

I did a test by reposting the items using Clems, making a modification. And they were back at the top.

Have you noticed the same thing as me in the last few days or weeks?

I would like to have your feedback.

It’s normal, people have understood. Like a Parisian boutique, the photos are exactly taken from Shein or Temu, and other profiles buy directly from fashion sites. So when you see the same photos on fashion sites for 10 euros and no refund issues, and when you see the same photos here for 25 euros, well, you don’t buy on Vinted anymore. Yesterday, a profile only had Shein items for sale with the same photos, and Vinted does nothing. I wanted to buy a white jumpsuit with ruffles, so I bought it just in time, and I saw it on a fashion site for 10 euros less. The other girl was surprised, so I directly canceled the transaction. We open Vinted and see the same photos by heart, the woman with her hat or her bag. So now I look on Temu or Shein, and jewelry too, because they have their suppliers now, like « Jewelry » with either a sun or a cherry. Vinted: 15 euros, same Shein brand, stainless steel, 5 euros. So I think « France has understood, Vinted will look for Italy, » Germany. Strange, lots of scams, especially on Vinted, and we sellers are not protected. It’s fine, I’m taking advantage, I have flea markets to sell peacefully. Good luck.
