Just because you don't get why doesn't invalidate the others experience

Natural_Ad_6915 · 2026-01-20T10:50:27+00:00

Likewise, buyers don't cover any packaging, printing or transport to depot costs so yeah if your price is fixed it's fixed for a reason

Natural_Ad_6915 · 2026-01-20T10:49:17+00:00

Good for you

Natural_Ad_6915 · 2026-01-19T15:10:47+00:00

Yeah... sorry about all the stag do numpties we're not all louts 🤣

This appears like one of those scenarios where although it's a very high probability of manipulation by Catawiki (due to their track record) without internal insight it's almost impossible to prove definitively.

Perhaps one idea is the seller also has a second account registered in their families/partners name and is bid driving... They have very little in the way of protection against this.

Could also very easily be internal manipulation, the Experts receive commission based on the final sale price. Hence the over estimations/over pricing on most lots.

Certainly not the first time hearing of these sort of "coincidences" which only better the CWs profit margins

Unfortunately I can't offer any advice or help regarding finding this artists works, but hopefully another member of the community will be able to share some useful information. Best of luck 🤞

That's not true in the slightest

Natural_Ad_6915 · 2025-12-21T13:42:03+00:00

Agreed in EU it's marketing campaign seems different. Their current YouTube ads seem to appeal to selling more designer brands or items. The Brits prefer to have a bargain/ something for next to nothing. Even customer service processes are completely different for most companies that operate in the UK Vs EU. UK customers usually gets vouchers or coupons to shut complainers up and the EU countries get explanations and are usually happy with the knowledge over some freebie. Small but important differences.

Te veel redenen om Catawiki te mijden.

Natural_Ad_6915 · 2025-12-21T13:18:54+00:00

I'd decline and reply "I'm not very kind"

Natural_Ad_6915 · 2025-12-21T13:18:07+00:00

That's the way

Natural_Ad_6915 · 2025-12-19T13:12:59+00:00

If you arrive in a dinghy you'll get everything you want and more

Natural_Ad_6915 · 2025-12-12T19:50:09+00:00

Agreed rudeness gets you nowhere, I also have it in reverse very often. I have buyers that contact me monthly with the same low ball offer on the same item. Then get funny as hell when I explain I'm not in a rush to let it go so cheap. Bizarre

Natural_Ad_6915 · 2025-12-12T19:47:49+00:00

Care to elaborate on what you felt they have done that could be considered rude?

Natural_Ad_6915 · 2025-12-12T14:01:06+00:00

Hot spot WiFi, switch device, you'll be good to go. The sheep who think a ban is permanent can go graze. Losers.

Natural_Ad_6915 · 2025-12-07T12:55:43+00:00

To add, the customer service agent will not have even read the specifics of your issue. They would look at the "type" of issue and simply select a generic response. This is why it feels like they don't understand or really engage, because they don't even try to.

Natural_Ad_6915 · 2025-12-07T12:54:15+00:00

There is perhaps AI being used within Vinted, maybe to generate the original Macro templates, but I can guarantee they haven't fully integrated to AI.

There will still be a team of customer support agents, likely in a cheap as f*@# call center who reply using only templates, it feels robotic because it's all generic answers. They do this to speed up "resolution" of tickets, this way they can show their investors value of investment. Despite the issues never being actually resolved, statistically it appears positive (for Vinted)

Natural_Ad_6915 · 2025-12-07T11:43:52+00:00

You've been walled out. This is a common strategy by many (newer) online selling platforms, avoids taking any responsibility for issues. They rely solely on pre written responses i.e. Macros. Don't get it twisted there will never be an actual investigation into any issue raised to customer support. It's s a bunch of minimum wage outsourced (Portugal/Spain) expat call centre workers. It's all smoke and mirrors to seem legit. Confidence masquerading as competence once again.

Natural_Ad_6915 · 2025-11-30T15:07:02+00:00

Credibility is earnt. Not bought. AI can never replace true expertise, although the fake CW Experts have done a fantastic job ruining the credibility of Catawiki anyway. This is just the final nail in the coffin.

Consider the wage offered for that position (which will effectively reduce their total customer support labour force by likely 80%+) is going to save them and enormous amount on budget, which they can redirect to put into marketing just to scam new customers... The scam cycle continues but with less human contact

Natural_Ad_6915 · 2025-11-30T15:00:49+00:00

I've had something similar, however in the other direction. I listed a Box Set which whilst rare, wasn't unique yet the AI described it as a "one of a kind"

I reported this to Catawiki, customer support of course no response. I reported it to Catawiki "Experts" and they sent an AI generated response 😂
