Well, it finally happened. Vinted’s stupid Ai bot banned me.

I was selling something for $5 (that doesn’t require any authenticity btw) and their ai bot immediately flagged my listing and the screen refreshed and I got this message.

I purchased this shirt over 2 years ago at a discount store. It’s not even name brand.

Anyone had any success stories on getting unbanned when it was done mistakenly by their ai bot?

I’ve already put an appeal on their app, went to their social media and emailed legal.

I’m honestly shocked considering there was no warning (I would’ve just deleted the shirt at that point). I have over 400+ five star reviews. Never had any order suspended. I purchase things on there frequently. I’m really upset all things considered, but I’m also not going to belly roll and just let them do it. If I have to send 10 messages and emails a day - I will.

Everyone selling needs to be extremely careful right now. It appears that since everything came out about trafficking they’ve sensitized their automated systems.

I genuinely just want some shoes and I filtered everything to be brand new or like new. Maybe it’s just me but like new doesn’t mean HOLES, worn so much they’ve creased and are covered in black dirt. I’m genuinely going to start reporting people doing this. I just needed to vent.

And yes, these are all different sellers.
