I was once again targeted by someone who reported me for « blurry photo » or « found on the net ».
Each time, it was for listings where I put an AI-generated photo of it being worn as the first photo of my listing, with of course plenty of photos of the actual item in the listing.
Yet Vinted does allow AI photos (I no longer check the box because it doesn’t protect against abusive reports).
It’s annoying, the other time I had 90 listings removed like that and I had a lot of trouble getting them back.
Do you think I should contest with Vinted each time to make them understand that AI photos are indeed allowed and that I also have numerous real photos of the clothing in the other photos of the listing?
What I do now is put it as the second photo, like that, it doesn’t jump out at you anymore and it’s the person who is minimally interested in the article who sees it…
It’s clear that a worn photo is more marketable.
The worst part is that they can do the same instead of being jealous, since it’s allowed.
In any case, thankfully we have clemz for the backup
We’re dealing with a strong character here!
Otherwise, clearly a photo by AI is much more attractive.
There might be a way to find a middle ground: have AI create professional photos but with a real touch, not a professional studio shooting type.
When I see an AI photo, I immediately skip it. You look at the superb AI photo and behind it is some kind of un-ironed rag. It’s dishonest in my opinion.
Yes and no, AI photos might be more enticing but buyers don’t necessarily appreciate them… because as @mlamiche says above, sometimes the item doesn’t look like the photo and some buyers have been fooled. So they skip and personally I do the same!
Besides, since I started taking photos of my items on models, « real ones », I get more views and sales so…
Hello everyone, why do you absolutely want to use AI for photos? What advantages does it bring? How do you use it? (Real question from someone who works the old-fashioned way) For texts, automations, etc., I understand it saves a huge amount of time. But for photos, I don’t understand because I find that it looks fake.
To extend Hypathie’s question, what AI are you using?
It would also be interesting if you shared the result of an AI image generation here so we can see the result.
Mainly for the « worn photo »… when you sell a size that doesn’t match the size of your entourage or yourself… and people keep asking you for worn photos… well, you use AI…
So yes, you have to be careful that it is representative, not only of the item but also of the person wearing the item.
For example, if I sell a size 48 (French), I make sure to show the type of person who wears a size 48. I don’t put a model who wears a size 34.
To answer @mlamiche
I understand that some people send you clothes.
Personally, I make sure that the item is not wrinkled or in a condition that would not be indicated.
Afterwards, I also understand that some people shy away from AI photos…
I admit that a worn photo would be a plus in some cases. I often think of people who have other sizes than standard. I regularly choose (pro) items that might appeal to them. The drawback is the artificial aspect of the AI photos I see AND not the least of the problems, Vinted’s blocks and denunciations. As long as this hasn’t become common practice and is framed with a certain quality, I won’t risk it. I see too many posts about this subject. If Vinted were smart……they would offer this service and frame it. Ex: you are allowed one worn AI photo with such-and-such an AI (theirs, for example). But they prefer to ban us and prevent us from selling by urging us to sell when we don’t sell. Apart from pros, they haven’t understood that often if we sell our pants or skirt, it’s because they no longer fit us and that buyers need to project themselves.
And so, either we don’t fit into them anymore because we haven’t stopped having feasts with friends… (that’s often my case ) or we’ve lost weight, and that won’t be representative… hence AI
The same happens to me with it, although my sales items are sports trading cards, and I use AI because it helps me to better teach various data about the card, the collection it belongs to, numbering, if it is a specific type of rarity or if it is numbered, since the image of the card alone is missing information. I’ll give you an example of how I generate them. Of course, it is then accompanied by real photos.
I have received up to 60 reports from someone bored in a few minutes.
I was asking which one YOU were using. Because not all of them have the same output, the same ease of use, I tested two to see. It could be interesting to share experiences on the subject.
I don’t use any. And anyway, whatever you do, there will always be reviews, good and bad.
What matters, it seems to me, is to do what resembles us, and to own it. Trying to please everyone is a mistake, copying the neighbor is a mistake, do it according to your personality and your tastes, and do what you would like to find.
Flat lay photo, photo on a hanger, photo worn, AI photo, photo on the floor, outdoor photo, indoor photo, photo with retouching, photo with outline… there will always be someone to tell you they don’t like it, that it’s not right, that it should be done differently..
I’m sure in a boosting group, there was a girl who had all her photos reported « blurry photo », even though they are real photos taken by herself on a bust, back to the wall but hey she admits herself that she is a professional, she sells for others and she is not declared. Maybe it became known…
I thought about buying a mannequin, but when it comes to size, I have concerns: children’s sizes, and from a size 34, now 48 I don’t want to buy multiple busts.
So if to make it look good I put pins in the back. It won’t be real, I prefer an AI that actually wears a size 34 or 48. And I always ask for the garment to be perfectly respected. Well, I also only sell items in perfect condition.
