Yes, I will do that properly.
Hello,
For my part, I feel like Iâm selling less since I got a bigger closet.
When I had 300-350 listings, things sold better, especially bundles. Now, I feel like Vinties are overwhelmed by my 600 listings and donât scroll through themâŠ
What do you think?! 
So yes and no, I have over 1400 items. Indeed, people lose patience when they have to search to make bundles, especially. The problem is also the Hashtags, they are sometimes capricious, so it doesnât help. I dream of seeing categories appear for our shops. But the more items you have, the more likely you are to appear in searches. So, on balance, it balances out. If you repost regularly, try to group categories together, to facilitate searches for similar items in your closet.

Iâm in the « Vinted is putting me at the bottom of searches » phase. No sales for 2 days, and also on a secondary account. This hasnât happened for a long time. The first half of October was very good, the second half will bring it back to average.
Fortunately, I know the phenomenon: Iâm not going to give in to a showcase wardrobe, which is useless. Just wait for the algorithm to put me back in front.

Thank you 
I totally share this opinion 
Iâve noticed the same thing in the case of a « small closet » but by grouping similar items it works pretty well. Vintedâs algo must also appreciate it because it allows me to « classify » my closet.

Personally, at my place, itâs the opposite. Early October was crazy, lots of favorites, lots of views, listings with 100/200/300 views. For about a week now, thereâs been a huge drop in visibility, which is really demoralizing, especially since I brought my brother in to help me. In early October, we started posting about 20 listings a day, whereas before I only posted 5. I also have an eBay shop, which is why I used to post so little, but on Vinted, this is the first time Iâve posted so much. My impression is that I was promoted for a week as soon as I started posting heavily in early October, and after a week, nothing more. Maybe I need to post less to then post more. Have you considered this technique?
Then, are you a professional or an individual? Next, youâre talking about starting, so itâs a recent account, is that right?
If itâs a recent account, I think new accounts start with good visibility. For your case, I think it now depends on the market, so see if the items you offer are also offered in large numbers, if your prices are correct, and most importantly, if the photos are really well done (the photo really depends on the activity, maybe, but I notice in my case that I invested in a photo box⊠I have really high-quality photos, and even for new listings, I test with a higher price, and itâs surprising, but the same items with very high-quality photos, even though I test with a higher price, generate much more traffic and sales).
@Goodjob2A can you reveal which category you are in, for the photos?
On books, I initially thought that peppering with photos made a difference. But as I sold thousands without anything other than the cover photo, I concluded that the additional photos made no difference. No doubt because the big second-hand sellers (Momox, Gibert, Recyclelivres etc.) do not offer a photo of the item, just the « publisherâs » cover.
Iâve been a pro from the start, and yes, itâs a recent shop on Vinted. I test a lot of niches, so many small quantities, for example, 30 by 30, so I donât think thatâs the problem. I think I take quality photos, but Iâm missing a photo box for better lighting. I plan to invest in that soon.
In any case, thank you for your feedback 
I am in costume jewelry, mainly natural stones.
Itâs true that for books, itâs specific; people are really interested in the book itself, no point in seeking perfection in the photoâŠ
But when youâre in clothing and accessories, itâs really a key point.
I stopped stressing about photos, I was spending a crazy amount of time on them, and my competitors who donât stress arenât selling any less. After modifying a few ads, I even noticed that simple photos get views. With a white background, itâs not even worth it.
Yes, as I said, it also depends on the category.
I am mainly involved with natural stone, so the sharper the photo, the more visual detail there is⊠so for activity, thatâs really the key.
Are sudden drops in visibility common? Iâve browsed several forums and noticed that it happens to many people. Have you ever experienced this? How long does it last?
Yes, and afterwards I try to make it clear anyway 
But until recently, I used lighting (I had a sound/lighting rental business at one time, so I have what I need in terms of spotlights), I used editing software to remove the background, modify things a bit, etc⊠It took me a crazy amount of time.
And in the end, I saw my competitors who didnât bother, I get a lot of reports for « photos from the web », Vinted deletes my listings. Well, now I save time, and whatâs more, I see that listings with « natural » photos get more visibility. I still have the impression that Vinted users donât really appreciate « professional » presentations like on eBay.
Since I used to put complete descriptions by retrieving product sheets from manufacturersâ websites and my competitors put « new item, fast shipping » (even with mistakes despite the four words), well, Iâve simplified that too.
Vintedâs photo compression doesnât help either. Definitely donât retrieve your photos from Vinted listings to put them on eBay, sometimes it makes disgusting things.
Exactly. On Vinted, you need to have professional processes at all levels, but without it being visible.
Like when Nestlé makes you believe its yogurt is made in an artisanal way!
eBay was for individuals but has become a platform for professionals. It must be said that all the tools are there to conduct large-scale business.

Unfortunately, during periods of low visibility, thereâs nothing you can do, whether itâs showcasing or republishing during peak hours, the result is the same, and this applies to everyone, and perhaps even worse for us professionals.
For the pros, yes, Iâve been on eBay for a year and a half, I donât recommend it, insane fees, if you get disputes, you get insufficient performance for a month and you lose visibility, you lose âŹ0 sales, I know someone it happened to. Besides, you should know that you can call customer service, in case of a dispute, for example, in a case I had, even if you prove the buyer is wrong, they will side with you at first, and once the dispute is closed, they will rule against you, they screw you over, they donât refund you the fees and they refund the buyer with your money. So be careful, eBay is a nest of trouble, thatâs why Iâm moving to Vinted, at least I know Iâm working for myself because on eBay youâre working more for them than for yourself with their insane fees (because if you want to sell, you have to sponsor) because youâre forced to sell at a high price to make a little moneyâŠ
Yes, I understand, but is this recurring visibility drop? How long does it last on average? To give me an idea!
The last one lasted a good 2 weeks, the spring one lasted several months (summer didnât help) so I donât think thereâs really a rule.
Several months as a pro is tough thoughâŠ
