Just a little storytime about Vinted.

I just wanted to register on Vinted to sell some second-hand stuff, because I haven’t had much success elsewhere. I would have never imaged that they will reject my addy.io alias. After a couple of annoying e-mails detailing how to register an account, I was left with the answer on the screenshot after trying to get an explanation why the domain I am paying for (not some random free gmail address) is not worthy of their services…

    I’ve had a similar experience. They accepted my email on a personal domain with a recent TLD but after about 15 minutes of connecting and browsing, I was banned. I suppose it’s because I had the audacity to use a VPN l, but their response was basically no more helpful— “you violated the T&Cs.”

    I haven’t been on Vinted since.

      Oh, the good ol’ T&C violation, of course not saying which part… vinted is smashing hard on people not using big tech solutions.
