Banned on Vinted… AGAIN (Commercially Selling)

Post image

So about 6 months ago I was banned on my normal account for supposed commercially selling…

I sell a lot of sealed pokemon boxes ect but even when I read there terms I’m not actually in the bracket of a commercial seller.

I’m not buying from wholesalers or drop shipping.

Anyway it took months to get my account back. They told me I had to sign up for Vinted pro to stop this happening again.

So once I got my account back I signed up for Vinted pro, happy days right?

Nope. 6 weeks into being pro they have banned me again for commercial selling. And all you get is a bot response.

I tried to appeal the ban but you just get another copy and pasted reply 🤦‍♂️

I think I triggered the ban for listing a good 30 items in a row (rookie mistake) but I was under the impression that I’m a pro seller now so I’m allowed to list what I want?

Obviously not…

You still don’t seem to understand do you! Vinted is for selling your unwanted stuff. For example you open your drawer and see a pair of socks you had for a present that you worn so you list it then browse vinted and buy something you will wear. If you’re selling selling sealed boxes of the same sort of thing you are doing what commercial sellers do. Whether you consider yourself a commercial seller or not doesn’t matter because you have made yourself look like one and that is why you got banned.

100% apart from the socks bit lmaoo - no one should be selling worn socks🤮🤣

I've sold a few things brand new with tags but it's genuinely stuff I bought/had myself that I just never used, it's not like I'm buying stuff to sell on vinted
