Why your listing was hidden or deleted

Our Catalogue Rules help to make Vinted a safe and fair place to buy and sell. So if a listing goes against these rules, we’ll have to hide or remove it.

Hidden listings

We’ll have to hide your listing if:

  • The item is not in accordance with our Catalogue Rules
  • You haven’t provided the necessary authenticity proof for your item
  • You haven’t provided proof that your item isn’t made from real fur
  • You haven’t provided proof that your item is lawfully placed in the EEA/UK market, e.g.:
    • Packaging labels, indicating importer/authorised representative seated in the EEA/UK.
    • A picture of the CE/UKCA mark (this could be followed by a number of the notified body taking part in the product conformity assessment procedure).
    • Labels attached to the item or item manuals (must be in English, too).
  • The items price, condition, size, or hashtags are inaccurate, unclear, or intentionally misleading. For example:
    • The item doesn’t match its listing description
    • Multiple (and unrelated) brands are mentioned in a single listing
    • The listing was uploaded for the purpose of bidding
    • Unrelated or excessive hashtags are used
    • The item isn’t available or has already been sold
  • The listing description promotes another marketplace
  • The listing is in the wrong category
  • The listing photos are not good quality

Deleted listings

We have to delete a listing if it goes against our Catalogue Rules or the item is prohibited by any applicable law, rule, or regulation. For example:

  • The item is counterfeit
  • The pictures are taken from another website, including stock photos
  • The item infringes copyright or any other intellectual property (IP) rights
  • The item is reproduced without the copyright/IP holder’s consent
  • The item requires an age-rating label, but it’s missing
  • The item contains an animal product such as fur, reptile skin, shell, or ivory (however, leather, sheared sheep wool, cashmere, and mohair are allowed)
  • It’s uploaded for the purpose of reselling (i.e. commercial selling)
  • It’s uploaded as a request for the item, not the item itself
  • The item is listed more than once and is a duplicate
  • It’s a cosmetic product, perfume, cosmetic accessory, or beauty tool that has been opened/used or not in its original sealed packaging (this restriction applies to makeup, cream, lotion, perfumes, hair-care products, brushes, sponges, and any other beauty tools)
  • It’s a cosmetic, medicinal, or (electronic) grooming product for an animal
  • It’s (handmade) underwear bottoms, bedding, or towels without explicitly shown tags and/or original packaging (this way, they’ll be considered as used)
  • It’s a fetish-related item or item promoting sex services
