The Intermediate Vinted Seller
You are now getting used to selling on vinted. After 15 to 25 sales in some cases Vinted asks you to verify your identity. Don’t get suspicious, this the normal protocol off Vinted, they do this to avoid people getting scammed.
What to do when the customer has suspended the package?
This scenario is not likely to happen if you choose wisely who to sell to. If you’re just beginner, try to sell your shoes to people with 15+ legit reviews. As you get more experienced and you understand the game better, you can sell shoes to people with less reviews. But what if this still happens? From all the sales (100+) I had on Vinted, I experienced this once. I sold a Nike Blazer habanero red on Vinted, and the customer suspended my package, because she claimed that the shoes were fake and pleaded to get a discount. After the customer service asked her to send some pictures of the shoe. She sent the pictures to Vinted. The customer service agreed that the shoes were real and they released the money into my wallet. They also warned me to not do business outside Vinted (see picture). Because she was asking to get a refund for the discount via PayPal. That's why I would not suggest doing business with people outside Vinted, don’t ever sell or buy shoes via PayPal, and use Vinted as a chatting tool. This way you can easily get scammed.
What shoes should I buy to resell on Vinted?
As we stated earlier, Vinted is a platform that is very popular amongst women of all age categories. Besides that, you will sell shoes to people in European countries that Vinted provides. So it's likely that shoes with a Jordan 1 mid silhouette or shoes like Air Force 1 Pixels, will do great on Vinted. I personally sold over 100 shoes on Vinted, and almost 50 to 60% of the shoes I sold were all Air Forces.
Things to avoid to not get banned on Vinted
These are examples of activities that Vinted uses to decide to ban your account:
❌Vinted will ban your account if you are selling a large number of brand new items, including tagged and/or low-value items. That’s why we recommend you list some used items, you need to give Vinted the impression that you use the app for general purposes.
❌Vinted will ban your account if you sell items in the same, but in different colors and sizes.
❌Selling items with comments as 'can be ordered' or ‘deadstock’ or using images from the internet from stock photos in your ads. This means that you shouldn’t post pictures of successful purchases and list them on Vinted to try and presell them. Besides that, do not use those terms in your title or product description when advertising a product.
❌Selling to produce a source of income. This shows that Vinted is against resellers, you can manipulate this by selling brand new items as “Used”, or by adding used items to your profile as we discussed earlier.
