This happens when members ignore our Terms & Conditions, Catalogue Rules, or Forum Rules.

You may be temporarily blocked

Your account will be unblocked automatically after 7–14 days. You'll see the block end-date when you log in to Vinted. We can’t unblock it earlier, except if you prove we’ve blocked it by mistake.

Among other reasons, we temporarily block members for:

• Deliberately offensive behaviour towards members or our team, or spamming on our forums
• Abusing the ability to report other members and content, or abusing our appeal procedures over restrictions
• Selling counterfeit items, i.e. fakes and/or unauthorised replicas of original products
• Promoting selling outside the Vinted payment system
• Selling items for commercial purposes

You may be definitively blocked

If you're blocked definitively, you can still log in to:

• Contact another member about an ongoing order (as a buyer or seller)
• Contact us to find out if your account will be unblocked
• Withdraw earnings from your Vinted Balance (unless the withdrawal can’t be completed because it would harm other members or it’s from a compromised account, or you were blocked because our payment service provider determined a risk of fraud)

To withdraw your earnings:

• Log in to your Vinted account — you’ll be directed to your inbox
• Go to your Vinted Balance under your profile and make a withdrawal.

We definitively block members who:

• Sell items which are prohibited by any applicable law, rule, or regulation
• Commit fraud or scam other members
• Have multiple accounts
• Repeatedly behave in a way that would otherwise result in temporary blocking
• Repeatedly sell counterfeit items, i.e. fakes and unauthorised replicas of original products
• Behave inappropriately or upload inappropriate pictures
• Don't respond to our team’s messages about resolving an issue with an order
• Repeatedly sell items for commercial purposes

Good to know:

• We always seek friendly solutions and inform members when blocking their accounts.
