Was talking to someone yesterday who sells on Vinted and likes using it. Ive always sold on Ebay but decided today to give Vinted a try.
Opened and account, read all the info etc then proceeded to list a ladies top. All good, got the little 'Congratulations on your first listing, why not list another item' message. So I did a second one, another ladies top. When I pressed to list nothing happened, tried again, nothing,
Then I see a message notification has appeared and it says 'Your account has been locked and can no longer be used.' with the reason that 'We suspect fraudulent activity on your account'.
So I decided to appeal and got the message - This type of account closure cannot be appealed.
Baffled- back to Ebay it is!

Vinted has a lot of glitches, sometimes all you have to do is list a branded item or use a phrase the bots don't like and that's it.
Youc an appeal, I'm not entirely sure how but perhaps someone who is more experience with Vinted can help.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

Thanks Soolin.
It wont actually allow me to appeal. The items were Marks and Spencers but the option was in the drop down list so i dont feel Ive fallen foul of any rules there. No worries.0 -
I know you have had a bad experience, But as an avid vented user I could not recommend it high enough. So I would recommend you give it another go.0
