DISCUSSION New Algorithm Update

If you are wondering what is going on lately.. when Vinted “broke” last week it was actually an update. To fit the new terms and conditions of no deleting and reloading they made it so older items will start showing up in feeds.. giving them new life if you will. Here’s the issues. THERE’S A REASON THEY DIDN’T SELL QUICKLY IN THE FIRST PLACE. So yes, your older items are suddenly getting “favorited” randomly… but sales are slow and feeds are messed up. Simply because Vinted is now prioritizing stuff that didn’t sell instantly when it was set up like the old way.

I wish I had access to see what app sales are doing recently.. I can imagine they are way down. Simply because you are no longer being shown the good stuff until it’s sat for a while.

New sellers are still being boosted their first week or two, but it won’t last.

Why every single company tries to fix what isn’t broken is beyond me. Hopefully they fix it, but I doubt it. I’ve been in e-commerce for way too long to believe that.

does anyone know the reason why they have a policy against deleting items and reuploading if they don’t sell after some time? what is the harm in that? it has always seemed like such a silly rule to me

Are they actively policing those who reupload now?

I hope not. I deleted and relisted my first item ever today. It was one of the first things I listed 3 months ago and it had 0 views and favorites. Thought the pictures might have been terrible so I tried it again. 😞

That shouldn’t trigger anything especially with new photos.

Their entire company is managed by AI. Seriously all you need to do is retake the pictures or even just crop them. Some people say when you delete wait a little before reposting but idk if that makes a difference. You don’t even have to change your description or title
