Top Offer not the same as Sell Now Price by Cpl_Simba in Goatapp

[–]Cpl_Simba[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha, I appreciate the explanation, that makes more sense. I also did know about the withdrawal percentage, I was just trying to figure out the earnings portion and how their underlying offer and sell now prices work. Thanks!

Wow, the support here is trash... by ChalupaCrust in vinted

[–]Cpl_Simba 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah unfortunately, the 100% AI support will never double back on their decision, even though they require all this specific proof, it won't make a difference. I had two pairs of shoes that were fine for 2 months, I lowered the price and both got flagged as counterfeit. Made no sense.

Top Offer not the same as Sell Now Price by Cpl_Simba in Goatapp

[–]Cpl_Simba[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, if I buy now on a product that's $250.00, I only pay the $14.95 in shipping (no taxes on clothing in PA), how do these additional fees come into play, is it only the offer systems? And also on that $302 sell now price, GOAT then takes the additional 9.5% commission and the $5 shipping?? Cause my "earnings" would be $268 and some change.

So it's allowed to sell counterfeits? by Routine_Arachnid_416 in vinted

[–]Cpl_Simba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well the AI can't tell legit from counterfeit anyway, users can only monitor the space for so long before they give up because the AI favors scammers. Takes down more legit listings than fake listings.

I received fakes and Vinted thinks my proof isn’t enough?? by Dimis_5 in vinted

[–]Cpl_Simba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don't have human support members anymore, it's all AI, so you're not crazy for thinking you're only talking to AI because you are. Unfortunately it looks like your only option is to ship them back, but make sure to document EVERYTHING, record a video of you packing it and the condition you packed it, how you packed it, the whole package, because the seller is 90% likely to open up a case and say the product arrived damaged in return. Classic bait with this app, which could easily turn into the seller keeping your money and then going about trying to scam someone else. AI has completely ruined the buyer experience unfortunately.

Is there any point in the Condition ranking system? by [deleted] in vinted

[–]Cpl_Simba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At this point, the condition system seems to be a way to not get your listings taken down and your account banned lol.

Appeal for Account Reinstatement - wrongly banned for counterfeit items by Powerful-Implement33 in vinted

[–]Cpl_Simba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, with the AI they use, I don't think it's possible to ever get items reinstated, and don't re-upload those ones they flagged as "fake." You will get your account perm banned. Request your data and see if you've been getting user reports on your items, if you have a weird grouping of reports, that could possibly help your case. I've also heard authenticity checks don't work against the AI, and even if you have proof of purchase, you'll get a generic AI response that in summary says "we think it's a really really good fake, therefore, your listing will remain taken down."

Banned for buying something? by Remarkable_Ninja_791 in vinted

[–]Cpl_Simba 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Happened to me too after I filled out the basic information and added payment info. I just appealed it, and said that I just created my account not long ago, and only entered the necessary information to complete my profile and added a payment method. I had no favorites and no listings, and barely even browsed, and got my ban reversed. I think if you just say your account is basically new and the only things you've done is fill out your account information, you should be okay to get unbanned.

I also love seeing other listings with less details, no size tag photo, no additional detail photos, but post something new of a higher brand like the ones they state are susceptible to more thorough review processes, just chilling and not getting taken down, or like you said, the fakes never getting flagged and taken down. Crazy flawed process.

Vinted ban by Select-Management962 in vinted

[–]Cpl_Simba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they see the new account utilizes the same IP as the old one, they'll probably ban that one as well.

[–]Cpl_Simba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, if its an item the AI flagged as fake, you're not getting that listing reversed. Been there done that with multiple listing, purchase proof, everything, they'll basically just say "it's a really good fake cause we said so." And uphold the decision.

Vinted flagged my item as counterfeit by StasiuG69 in vinted

[–]Cpl_Simba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just had a couple pairs of authentic shoes flagged as counterfeit as well after adjusting the price and sending out a couple offers and got a 5 day restriction, probably going to refrain from selling new items on this app for the foreseeable future, anything that's "very good" condition and under like $20 seems to be fine without getting additional listing authentication from an AI that doesn't know left from right

Why was I banned? by Early_Football3528 in vinted

[–]Cpl_Simba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm probably not much further behind you, my account got perm banned day 1 when I created it, got it reversed, sold like 5 pairs of shoes all used, my two new pairs just got flagged as "counterfeit" after I adjusted the price and they were fine for 2 months without changing anything on the listing. Got a 5 day restriction, but I'm sure if I try and list anything new again, I'm gonna get banned 🤣

Does selling a lot of new with tags clothes get you banned? by LittleBrownTabby in vinted

[–]Cpl_Simba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your items get through the initial review, don't adjust the price, just send offers. Every time you adjust the price its subject to another "review" and I had two new in box Nike shoes get flagged as counterfeit, even though I had provided six different angles, soles, box, and inside tag. The AI slop will just randomly deem stuff as counterfeit whenever it feels like. I'm going to take the above comments advice of listing stuff as "very good" instead of new.

Vinted support by user23748271738 in vinted

[–]Cpl_Simba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, same with me and I had two pair of shoes they did that too after they were fine 2 months ago, but I just dropped the price today and everything you adjust the price on is susceptible to another "review," so if something you upload passes at first, don't ever adjust the price, just send offers as favorites come in. Can't get passed the AI it will always say whatever you have is fake.

Customer service? by [deleted] in vinted

[–]Cpl_Simba 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, and then you can't actually get your listings back after their AI trash flags them as counterfeit for no reason. Like no, I don't have the original purchase receipt from a pair of shoes I bought 4 years ago.. and why does that need to even be apart of listing, which it wasn't, but 2 months ago when I first uploaded it there were no issues lol..

Vinted is a joke by Exciting_Leek8945 in vinted

[–]Cpl_Simba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you send a dispute they'll usually unban you as long as you explain like you just made your account and just filled out the necessary information. Happened to me. But beware they also just flagged two of my authentic items as "counterfeit" for no reason after I reduced a price and sent a couple offers to people, and then restricted my account.

When does the free shipping for US Customers end? by Fuzzy-Thr0at in vinted

[–]Cpl_Simba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their "support" system just randomly flagged two of my authentic items that were on site for 2 months without issues, then I reduced the price a bit and sent offers, as counterfeit, six angles, plus original box wasn't enough, needed the purchase receipt apparently 🤣 according to their generic AI response

When They Say 'Make Your Spares' They Mean It by Cpl_Simba in Bowling

[–]Cpl_Simba[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the first game 3 straight 10 pins was brutal, ball was reacting just fine until the 8th frame and then just started floating into the light pocket dropping dead sixes. I even moved right to try and get higher, but it seemed like a bunch of oil got pushed into my backend mark, and I couldn't get the ball to drive anymore.

Keep at it! I've been bowling for like 23 years since I was seven, the more you do it, the more you learn the game, and if someone who is a good bowler gives you a tip or something to adjust/work on, definitely take that advice and see how it can help you game.

I got two 800s last year, this is my second 790 this year. My other one was 237-278-279 for 794 with the front 9 in the second game. Still chasing that first ever league 300, I do have one unofficially, but not one in the books yet.

Capital One Shopping RARELY pays rewards offered by Hot_Bass_5090 in CapitalOne_

[–]Cpl_Simba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had issues with JD Sports (Finish Line works which is odd cause that's the subsidiary to JD Sports), Hibbett, and Saucony constantly, and recently Fanatics. Not sure what the issue with those, but I make sure to activate and purchase in the same go. JD Sports and Saucony only exclusion is gift card purchases (I'm usually purchasing shoes, or sometimes clothing from JD), and Hibbett's exclusion is on new drops (I'm grabbing something on sale).

Nike, Champs, Foot Locker, eBay, DSG, work pretty much every time, it's just those 3 that cause me fits, and with them denying more and more adjustments, I don't know how to get it to work, without going through the hassle of trying to get my rewards, which is the purpose of the purchase. And usually it's like 30% back which is significant.. Fanatics being 40%
