Vinted Begins Enforcing Re‑Listing Ban and Bot Crackdown, Warning of Account Bans

The platform says the rules target spammy reposts to keep search fair.

Overview

  • Updated terms now prohibit sellers from deleting and re‑listing the same item multiple times or in bulk, effective Monday, September 8.
  • Vinted says violations can lead to penalties up to permanent account suspension.
  • The company has also banned external software and automated tools used to relist or otherwise game visibility.
  • Sellers on social media criticized the change as unfair, while some buyers welcomed it as a curb on spammy reposting.
  • Users discussed workarounds such as hiding old listings and floated moves to competitors like Depop, though these are unconfirmed shifts.
