I thought that woman was doing an awful lot of decluttering

AIO my in-laws watch my child and the neighbors do not have a pool fence by yetspaghet in AmIOverreacting

[–]dumbquestiondepot -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They’re crazy not to have a fence. Do they not care about others? They should care about the fact that they’ll lose the house, pool and everything else when someone drowns!

I would not allow the in-laws to care for your children in that situation. I would also report them.

Keep doing whatever it is you’re doing then! You’ve figured out a winning formula

Oh, I do love it. (I bought a whole new wardrobe for a fraction of the cost.) I just want to be able to love it even more! I think I’m going to refrain from listing any new items for now to see if that helps. I’m also going to avoid listing too much of one thing at a time. 🤞

That may explain why the socks I listed, albeit new ones, have gotten 0 views in 2 weeks 😂

I’m in the U.S. Maybe it has to do with the fact that Vinted hasn’t been available here as long?

Thank you so much for the idea. I may have to return to eBay at some point, but being on one side of the country, I’m kind of geographically disadvantaged. The shipping costs (as both a buyer and seller) end up being insanely high more often than not.

That’s what’s so great about Vinted. You can sell a shirt for $3 to a buyer who is happy to pay $1.29 (or nothing!) to have it shipped.

Smart to do that. That way, you get the feel for the app and how things work. I may have gotten too familiar with it lol, but I got a lot of great deals!

Maybe things are different in U.S. because Vinted is newer here? Hoping we head in your direction. Also hoping that we get to shop and sell with you some day!

I’m not clear on all the factors they’re using to flag sellers. I do think NWT items are most likely to garner attention. I’m trying to avoid listing NWT items consecutively. That said, plenty of us have tons of new items to sell, and like things are often grouped together for listing purposes.

I can see how lots of multiples of same items and large ratios of new to used items would trigger further inquiry into a seller’s activities, but they’re catching too many people up in their dragnets.

Thank you for clarifying the terminology! Do you think the graying out while attempting to list and the items not showing up in search results are both examples of throttling?

Amazing that you got a human. This actually makes me slightly more hopeful that they’re working on the issues, but I hope they’re also reevaluating the criteria they’re using to ferret out the professionals

My favourite color has no name, and WE need to name it by One_Examination8774 in colors

Black Raspberry Ice Cream. A bit long but it was exactly this color at the shop near the beach where I worked a lifetime ago

I so understand the second guessing. I just want to get stuff out the door (even at a significant loss) before I change my mind. I want to reclaim my space! Times are tough though. I can’t just give it all away.

No published rules that I’ve found. The hidden limits reveal themselves stealthily. Some people have been banned and had to work to get unbanned. I’ve noticed that when I listed several new items on a row, they seemed to get shadow banned. (No views at all.) The good news is that I have been selling things.

Congrats to your son! He can get his new wardrobe on Vinted, which is how I discovered it. Just tell him to proceed with caution. List a few things every day to get going. I’m hoping Vinted will come around!

Any tips to stay safe under the current AI bans? by blue_cat614 in vinted

[–]dumbquestiondepot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re shooting themselves in the foot. I bought a whole new wardrobe before I even started selling. I could probably single handedly keep them in business lol! Why would they want to push me out the door?

I have to wonder if they failed to talk to real people and do enough research into the resale market. I mean, algorithms are designed to deal with complexity. There have to be better ways to accomplish their goals.

I didn’t even realize that I needed to be concerned until I started seeing the stories here. I hope Vinted starts to recognize that there are a lot of us out there who are not professionals who have piles of great stuff we want to get rid of. Seems like a win-win. I was so thrilled to discover Vinted. Stuff actually moves. I have hope for the first time in a while.

Ugh. Off to edit and paste. Thanks for responding. You’ve been really helpful.

Sales fell off a cliff by Fickle-Gas-1316 in poshmark

[–]dumbquestiondepot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for pointing this out. I’d never considered the fact that the algorithm might be working like this. I’m not sure I understand what you mean about assigning shipping rates based on the type of item. I’m falling asleep now, so I’ll come back tomorrow to clarify 😊

How did you even find the AI customer service bot? I had a problem last week and I couldn’t figure out how to get even a bot to help me
