- The updated terms take effect Monday, September 8, barring sellers from deleting and re‑listing the same item multiple times or multiple items in bulk.
- Outlets report that violations could lead to penalties including permanent loss of an account.
- Vinted is also prohibiting the use of external software and automated bots that manipulate listing visibility.
- Sellers voiced frustration on social media, while some buyers welcomed the change as reducing spam, and commenters predicted potential shifts to rivals such as Depop.
- Users discussed hiding listings as a workaround, with reports of similar enforcement in Germany, and the move comes a year after Vinted reversed an unpopular delivery‑policy change.
