Commercial selling isn’t allowed on Vinted — as stated in our Catalog Rules.

So we may have to hide or delete listings and suspend or block accounts if we see commercial activity.

This list isn’t exhaustive, but we consider members to be doing commercial activities if they match one or more of the following criteria:

Representing or selling as a business

If you have a legal status as a business, then you’re not allowed to operate as this business on Vinted. Likewise, acting on behalf of another business is also not allowed.

Selling cosmetics and/or items purchased in bulk

We view members as commercial sellers if they offer:

Resale items purchased in bulk, or items sold as dropshipping products with a low resale value
A lot of cosmetics or items from the beauty category

Offering services

Vinted is for buying and selling physical items, so offering any kind of service isn’t allowed and is also viewed as a commercial activity.

Examples of services can include:

Offering handcrafted, custom-made, personalized, or modified items to order
Renting-out items to other members
Offering items that “can be ordered” or including “currently out of stock”, “check back later” and similar phrases in the listing description (i.e. taking orders for items that you don’t own)

Using standardized, professional photos

Unique items need unique photos. A listing’s photos should always show the item being sold and its real condition.

Using standardized, professionally-shot product photos — especially photos found online — suggests that a member is selling commercially.

Seeing the actual item helps other members make a decision about buying. That’s why we don’t allow generic stock photos or commercial product photos on listings.

How to appeal a decision about removed content or a blocked account

If you believe there’s been a misunderstanding about a listing we’ve had to hide or remove, or about blocking your account, you can appeal our moderation decision.

Check the Vinted inbox message or email with our official moderation decision for the link to make an appeal. In your appeal, please explain why you believe the moderation decision was incorrect and provide any supporting evidence you can. This will help us evaluate your case.

You can make an appeal within 6 months of receiving the moderation decision notice, and a decision can only be appealed once on Vinted.

If dissatisfied with our decision, members and non-member reporters can find an alternative resolution by bringing an action before national courts in accordance with local applicable laws.
