On Facebook, someone had given the page, it was happening on Threads. Personally, I sent a direct assassin message to the Hyena who was setting it up, pointing out that if I ever saw my company’s name on her page, I would immediately take legal action (bluffing, I wouldn’t even know where to start). I also reported it for harassment. In any case, an hour later the group no longer existed.

I agree, I’ve had this account for 8 years, Pro for 3.5 years, without any issues. But all it takes is for someone to report me abusively in 2 months for me to risk losing my account permanently.
Vinted needs to wake up.
It’s my income but most importantly my passion. I haven’t posted anything for 10 days and it’s making me sick.
Chat GPT tells me I can create a new account with the same SIRET once the old account is properly deleted, « however Vinted might detect the match. » 
I don’t know if you saw on Total Bug that several people are talking about the successive blockages happening with professionals. I just saw this now, I don’t know if it’s just people having fun alarming for nothing or if it’s a real thing…
I think it’s real already, just with the traffic on this forum, we see more and more account bans, so on TotalBug, with higher traffic, it seems coherent, yes.
On Facebook, many issues have also been reported.
Let him take care of all the counterfeit sellers and Temu / Shein clothing resellers… I feel like the more honest you are, the more you get undercut, it’s crazy, and with the bugs right now, let’s not even talk about it, I’ve made almost no sales for a week with all these bugs!

Strangely, I had a good week. Even on Monday morning, my car was full of packages from the weekend, which hadn’t happened in a while.
But anyway, as long as they remain in a gray area (we accept professionals but not too much), there will be problems. But hey, they are still terrible on this issue. They block everything, but for a week now, the homepage hasn’t shown suggestions based on my history, but almost exclusively fashion sellers’ closets and personal accounts that reek of disguised professionals. Closets with hundreds of new clothing listings (even if marked as « Good condition »), the same models in different color variations, etc. In itself, I don’t care, but they say they don’t want it and yet they put it on the homepage.

The problem is that many professionals have a second personal account, because personal accounts have much greater visibility than professional accounts.
And among non-professional clothing sellers, you have to be careful, many supply themselves with fast fashion in bulk to resell on Vinted, but not as new because new items have restrictions and the possibility of being blocked.
I have this in my area as well, individuals who have a closet full of items that come from the same supplier. I even have one who has his physical store as an avatar 
Personally, I tested to verify this claim that I often read and it was not conclusive, quite the opposite.
But on the other hand, whether it’s on both accounts, I absolutely no longer have the view and favorite numbers that I had a year ago.
Yes, that’s kind of what I mean.
Personally, it’s not my problem, I just find it priceless that Vinted puts them on my homepage.
I know of a Threads account of « Hyenas » who group together to mass-report accounts with the aim of getting them blocked… it’s the only one I know of, but there must be many others that are less visible.
I have already read several times that personal accounts have more visibility than professional accounts.
However, this does not mean that purchase commitment is more concluded on personal accounts.
yes, I read that too, except I tried it to see and got the opposite result. Then, as I was saying, the accounts also need to be similar in terms of performance to be able to truly compare.
However, one thing I’ve noticed is that non-pro accounts (with few followers) for articles quite similar to my niche have a surprisingly high number of favorites in a short amount of time (I sometimes check the announcement date, sometimes a few hours). So this is probably possible too.
You have to be careful about that, between external apps like Clemz and Bots and boost groups.
Like some who have high numbers of followers even though they sell almost nothing.
On the other hand, I compare on my accounts and when I post new items or republish, the difference with a year ago is impressive. I could get 100 views and 30 favorites in 1 hour on an item, that doesn’t happen anymore (far from it). And this even on items that were selling well and that I had back in stock.

Ohhhh I also noticed that at first I had the same numbers as you’re telling me now it’s a few views and favorites and still…
So, Vinted replied to me the first time: « We have taken note of everything you mentioned and we want to express our full empathy for the disappointing situation; after a check, we assure you that your account is active and you can use our platform’s services with peace of mind. »
So I asked if they had done what was necessary to ensure my account would no longer be blocked when new reports arrived, to which they replied: « Your account has been blocked because we have reason to believe that many of your items are commercial offers that were acquired or listed solely for the purpose of making a regular profit on Vinted. As you probably know, we do not allow the sale of clothing, shoes, or accessories for commercial purposes. »
- This is absurd because that’s precisely why we go Pro.
- They’re completely missing the point regarding my issue.
I haven’t posted anything for 15 days (which is tough), and when I do, it will only be a matter of days before my account is blocked again. Apparently, there’s nothing that can be done… I’m unfortunately dependent on them.
Same here, the difference is impressive since last year… I thought it was because I was spending less time on Vinted, but apparently it’s not just that
So I’m coming back to this because I wanted to test it again and did so more intensely over several days with more listings, and so I’m going to make a Mea Culpa, I clearly see a very big difference. And I even made quick sales on things I’ve had for months.
Besides, I took the opportunity to get rid of things that were bothering me and sell them professionally (basically boxes that might have defects), and even with that, the traffic on some items is incomparable.
For now, I conclude that either there is a real problem with professional accounts, or Vinted customers don’t appreciate professional accounts and prefer amateur accounts with rushed photos like I did (it’s hardly worth the trouble of bothering with this on the professional side )
And there, on the other hand, I find on some items this kind of numbers in views and favorites (without using Clemz, of course)
