How to use Vinted?

I see so many people here talking about buying & selling on Vinted, but I'm tearing my hair out trying to get the site to work.

I got most of the way through registering, got distracted and didn't come back to it till the next day, assuming it would have lost my info. I filled in the register via email thing, and it told me my account had been blocked due to fraudulent activity.

I used a different device to create a new account, which worked. When I tried to see individual items, it asked me for my phone number and when I added it, it told me my account had been blocked.

I created a third account, using login with Google, and every time I click on an item it gives me a different "your session has been blocked" screen.

Does anyone have any ideas how to get this wretched site to actually work, before I smash something?

Just don’t, it’s a hell hole! Bots, bureaucracy, weird rules and everything seems to arrive damaged dirty or both.

It randomly worked this evening. 😁

Thanks for the warning though.

I was blocked immediately after opening an account too, also for fraudulent activity. They said that if I attempted to open another account then they would also be blocked so I'm surprised that you have managed to open 3!

I have never tried to defraud anyone, all I did was list two of my own dresses for sale. 3 hours later and I was blocked.
