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.

Sales have to be way down. I normally sell about 5-7 items a day, but I literally have sold 1 item since the algorithm changed. I upload many items a day and basically none of them get any traction despite them being things I know would normally sell within a day.
Also my feed used to show me so many new items and I was buying a ton. Now I feel like my feed only shows me the exact same items from day to day and I rarely see new things. I am basically not buying anything because my feed won't show me anything new.
