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…

    Sucks bro. What domains does addy.io hand out? Is it all like foo@addy.io or do they have different ones with .io TLD?

    We definitely need to get more people running NOT @gmail.com. Thank you for your service. 🫡

      You practically either have the option to use your “subdomain” e.g. [email protected] or if you are fine with random characters, then you can have an address on the main domain e.g. [email protected]. Unfortunately this is not the first provider I see only accepting big tech addresses/accounts…
