Several thousand users of Vinted say they have been wrongly suspended or permanently banned from the second-hand shopping app, raising concerns among sellers who rely on the platform to trade used items.
The complaints centre on account restrictions imposed by Vinted, with affected users saying the action taken against them was incorrect. The issue includes suspensions as well as permanent bans, according to the supplied material.
Some sellers have described the enforcement as disproportionate, including a case involving a pair of sandals priced at £2. The example has become part of wider complaints from users who say they should not have been removed from the app.
Vinted is used as a marketplace for preloved goods, and account access is central to sellers’ ability to list items and complete transactions. A suspension or permanent ban can therefore prevent users from continuing to sell through the service.
The supplied material does not include a response from Vinted or further detail on the reasons given for the account actions. The latest known position is that several thousand users say they have been wrongly affected, while some sellers continue to complain about how the platform has handled bans and suspensions.
