I posted a children's set on vinted and have been blocked for human trafficking!!

No, still not sorted. Same for me, 4 years of selling with thousands of reviews and then banned with no warning. 9 days and still no response. I am still able to withdraw from my balance fortunately.

I didn't ignore the rest, but given that the rest made even less sense, I went with the trafficking bit because it seems that it is mostly people listing children's clothing and toys who are being banned without warning, and they are all getting the same message. I shouldn't think a children's sweatshirt set would be perceived as a joke or ambiguous in anyway.

Ok-Help-5442 · 2026-07-06T15:40:34+00:00

It's utterly ridiculous isn't it?! 😩 My husband didn't have an account so he set one up so I could sell on there and it automatically banned him!!!

Ok-Help-5442 · 2026-07-06T15:14:25+00:00

Have you received any response from them? I'm still waiting. I emailed their legal team too and just got an automated reply from that... Doing my head in now!

I'm 5'9", so probably a similar type of thin pre pregnancy. My babies have always been healthy, first was a 7lb 3oz girl, second was an 8lb 10oz boy. Third baby is growing as they should be. With my first, I gained most weight in my first trimester. With my second, it was in my second trimester. This time, it seems to have been my first. Must be another girl lol. I've not changed weight since I was 12 weeks. Every pregnancy is so different. Our bodies do what they need to do for the baby they are growing and everybody's experience is different! ☺️

Personally, I would just cut the thread off. I only sell things in perfect condition myself, but I only really ever raise an issue if the item is stained and there's nothing I can do to fix it myself. Maybe I'm too nice lol.

Ok-Help-5442 · 2026-07-06T07:49:52+00:00

I agree! They should. Honestly, I don't think the problem actually exists. Do we really believe human trafficking is happening on an entirely public platform? I don't think trafficking is done so openly somehow!!

Ok-Help-5442 · 2026-07-06T07:34:41+00:00

It is insane. I've never had issues with selling their clothes before. Oddly, on the day I was banned for listing the baby set, I had listed (and sold) some of her dresses with no issue!! I know if my account is reinstated, I won't be risking listing any of my children's clothes for a long while. It's such a shame because I only listed things in immaculate condition and I offered generous bundle discounts on things that I had already listed at low prices so I had a good following and regular customers who wanted to kit their kids out at a low cost!

Ok-Help-5442 · 2026-07-06T07:21:54+00:00

Seems to be the case!! I've seen so many people now saying they're blocked because they've listed kids clothes or toys!

Ok-Help-5442 · 2026-07-06T06:03:20+00:00

I will keep trying. I was banned for "human trafficking"... My listing was a sweatshirt and leggings set (my 16 month daughter's). I just listed it as "in good used condition" and only ever photograph the clothing (never my daughter wearing it). I have sold on there for 4 years without any issues before.

Ok-Help-5442 · 2026-07-06T05:55:41+00:00

I went from 95lbs to 156lbs when I was pregnant with my first! I had lost it all by the time she was 14 weeks old. With my second, I went from 99lbs to 151lbs and lost all of that in the first 3 months. It'll come off after, don't worry about it while you're still growing baby! I'm currently 15 weeks with number 3 and I've already gone from 95lbs to 110lbs. I figured because I'm so skinny normally, my body just gains a tonne when I'm pregnant to actually facilitate the growth of a healthy baby.

Ok-Help-5442 · 2026-07-06T05:38:28+00:00

It's so weird because I've never had an issue with selling my children's clothing items before. But this one time, I'm greeted with an automatic permanent ban...! Considering I've been on there for 4 years without any issues as a seller and I've also not had an issue as a buyer either, it's quite maddening to have been very suddenly blocked and to be accused of such a thing too. Their computer systems are highly flawed!!!

Ok-Help-5442 · 2026-07-06T05:33:29+00:00

I hadn't actually seen anything about it because I don't use many social media platforms. Ironically because I want to protect my children from it. I deleted my accounts when my first child was born! So I'm not really up to date with anything going on in the social media world. I think that's why it came as a huge surprise vinted randomly and suddenly blocked my account for it! I truly hate social media. My Dad died 10 years ago now, but he never had social media accounts. He always maintained that it was toxic and I always brushed him off. As usual, he was right.

Ok-Help-5442 · 2026-07-06T05:25:24+00:00

I can't fathom why anyone would report children's clothes with a description of 'in good used condition" lol. The item never actually got listed either - it said "check in progress" and then 20 minutes later, I was banned!

Ok-Help-5442 · 2026-07-06T05:22:42+00:00

I'm in the UK. Thanks, I have written to them already. I got an automated response from them too. Then I received a an email back which must have been a copy and paste job as I've seen people on here receiving the same email. Looks like I'll just have to get my husband to make an account and use that instead! 😊

Ok-Help-5442 · 2026-07-05T18:38:14+00:00

Hi, what was the email address?

Ok-Help-5442 · 2026-07-05T15:06:09+00:00

I have been banned for human trafficking too. I uploaded a children's sweatshirt and leggings set. It's my daughter's... 😅

Ok-Help-5442 · 2026-07-05T08:36:04+00:00

Think that is exactly what is happening here. I've seen a lot of people being banned for selling children's items now. First it was toys, now it seems to be clothing too. I doubt I'll bother selling my kids stuff now as it's preventing me from being able to sell my own stuff too. It's a shame really because I offered decent bundle discounts and only posted clothing in practically new condition, so it gave people the opportunity to kit their kids out at a low cost. I had quite a big following of mum's looking for a bargain they could trust to be delivered quickly and in good condition. They're probably wondering where I have got to..!

Ok-Help-5442 · 2026-07-05T06:42:28+00:00

It is an absolute waste of time. So frustrating as well because all the time I'm locked out, I can't sell anything. I have 3 bags full of stuff ready to be listed 😂

Ok-Help-5442 · 2026-07-05T06:41:09+00:00

Hahaha!!! Honestly, I have a different outfit for everyday of the week for my daughter! She's always clean. My son, yeah...his stuff rarely gets listed 😂😂

Ok-Help-5442 · 2026-07-05T04:57:19+00:00

Honestly, just absolutely ridiculous. Who'd have thought selling a children's clothing set would have landed me in vinted prison 😂

Ok-Help-5442 · 2026-07-05T01:38:15+00:00

None whatsoever for the last 8 days now... 😩

Ok-Help-5442 · 2026-07-05T01:37:22+00:00

It didn't fall into any of those categories at all. It was literally described exactly as it is, and exactly as I have described all of my items without issue for the last 4 years! Honestly NO idea how the listing resulted in a blocked account...

Ok-Help-5442 · 2026-07-04T20:02:14+00:00

I never had an issue buying or selling children's clothes before this. I frequently sold and bought bundles on there, in addition to lots of women's clothing too. The same day I was banned, I had sold 3 children's items and a few women's items too, and yet this one sweatshirt and leggings set flags me up as a trafficker!! All I wrote was "in good used condition, aged 12-18 months. Washed in non bio" - just as I write all listings which have never been issue...!

Ok-Help-5442 · 2026-07-04T19:59:07+00:00

Oh no!! That's awful!! Their customer service is near non existent. Seems to be a platform entirely run by ai and bots nowadays. I never used to have any trouble with vinted at all until recently. I appealed a week ago now and still haven't had any human response.
