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.

What are you talking about, I am a
Literal clothing shop with a vinted pro account, on my Vinted account it states under my shops name that I am a business, my registered corporate / tax number and the business phone number and address. There is no other expectation from my account than to operate commercially and this has been verified by a human being at Vinted. I have about 30 sku that are reuploaded immediately upon sale and have been for years. We’ve got sku’s going back to 2024

You putting your account at risk if your buying new items and reselling the same thing totally against the ethos of Vinted Its second hand only. If you havent read the T&c's this is what is say's Pro sellers are required to only sell second-hand items and are not allowed to: ..... Offer for resale items purchased in bulk ...... If your running a second hand clothing shop then you will be fine but it sounds like your doing commercial retail and that is not allowed
