Why was the Vinted store closed? How to deal with it?

Vinted is an online second-hand trading platform dedicated to buying and selling clothing and fashion accessories. Since 2022, Vinted has also increasingly transformed into a comprehensive cross-border e-commerce platform. Careful partners will find that Vinted has been blocking accounts seriously recently. It feels like the risk control has become stricter, but no matter how things change, they still remain the same. In the final analysis, the blocking is still due to the same problems, account association, product violations, and transaction violations.

There are policies from above and countermeasures from below. Since risk control is tightened, we naturally need to pay more attention to the operating environment of store accounts. We must pay attention to the daily operation of accounts and not involve illegal actions, and improve product information to reduce a large amount of homogeneity. Most importantly, account association also needs to ensure the uniqueness of the network environment 100%, preferably one environment and one IP, to ensure exclusive purity.

Let's talk about the reasons why Vinted blocked the account:

1. Account association

Vinted has been encouraging merchants to build high-quality stores, and naturally increased the monitoring of stores. Now many merchants like to play with store groups, intercepting more traffic and promoting more conversions through a large number of stores. However, this also leads to the operating environment of many accounts being monitored by the platform, including browser fingerprint information, IP address, etc.

It is recommended that you use fingerprint browsers honestly, such as Maskfog fingerprint browser, which can directly configure exclusive IP devices. It is recommended to use one device for one environment. Of course, you can also configure a pure overseas IP exclusive to a specific country or region according to business needs, such as using a proxy like Kookeey. It is recommended to use a static or dynamic residential IP, which is closer to the real user and can also reduce the risk of being associated to a certain extent.

2. Product Violations

As vinted is increasingly moving towards comprehensive cross-border e-commerce platforms, counterfeits and fakes are emerging one after another. If cross-border e-commerce merchants want to make vinted a success, they must establish their own personal brands. The current e-commerce market is no longer a blue ocean. Generally speaking, it is quite competitive, with great competition pressure. It is difficult for emerging brands to gain a foothold, which has led to a large number of merchants infringing on their rights. In addition to image infringement and product infringement, many products are highly homogenized. This has also led to many stores being detected by the authorities and blocked.

3. Transaction Violations

Many businesses will fake orders in order to realize more traffic. This is actually quite dangerous. Judging from the tightening of risk control a while ago, malicious fake orders are also the focus of official monitoring.

In short, when doing cross-border business, you should always understand the platform rules, pay attention to account security issues, and provide your account with a more secure, unique and stable operating environment.
