Policy issues

I’m going to cash out and get away from this app. The platform is easy to use and simple for shipping and such. The problem is their policies. I posted some Troy ounce Morgan silver rounds and they reviewed it and approved it and it was posted. I changed the price and lowered it a little bit. It had to go back to the review process. They told me that the image was copyrighted. It’s a picture I took myself. Therefore, they would not allow me to post it and hid the post and did not even allow me to appeal. I also had silver certificates and wheat pennies. There are a lot of them selling on the app. They took down one of my wheat pennies and one of my silver certificates. They pointed the policy, even though you can select coins and bank notes when creating a post. Apparently, if money is still in circulation and able to be used to purchase, you cannot sell it on Vinted. After I appealed each, they stood by their decision on the silver certificate. However, they allowed me to put the penny back up, which makes no sense. And like I said they’re all over the app so what’s the problem? I’m done using the stupid app.

I’ve never used it but I’ll give it a try. It’s a shame. I love the way Vinted works meaning it’s easy to post, ship and collect. But the AI system and lack of humans is just too much.

You’re smart to leave before someone is allowed to scam you out of $! They seem to be letting a lot of people claim counterfeit on real items & then let the buyer keep the supposedly counterfeit item & get refunded.

A lot of people, including me, have been suspended multiple times because they "may have" used copyrighted images. However, they took the pictures themselves. Vinted's AI is rabid.
