Vinted's buyer protection kicks in
after a transaction is completed

Second-hand shopping comes with risks. Fake items, Shein resellers, and AI-generated listings are increasingly common across online marketplaces.

👗

Fake "Vintage" & Y2K

Modern fast fashion from Shein or Temu relabeled as "vintage Y2K" and sold at 5-10x the real price. Impossible to spot without knowing what to look for.

🤖

AI-Generated Listings

Resellers use AI to write perfect-sounding descriptions and generate professional model photos — making cheap items look genuine and high-quality.

💎

Counterfeit Luxury

Fake Dior, Chanel, Louis Vuitton and other luxury brands listed at suspiciously low prices. New accounts, vague descriptions, no authenticity proof.

Catches what you'd miss

Pattern recognition built from months of real Vinted research and community insights.

🏷️

Shein & Temu Resellers

Frequent uploaders with no real brand listed, template descriptions, and few reviews. Classic signs of someone buying cheap and reselling at markup.

🤖

AI-Generated Descriptions

Descriptions with marketing superlatives, 6+ hashtags, and zero personal details. Real sellers write about their item — resellers write about an ideal.

Fake Vintage Claims

Modern fast fashion brands labelled as "vintage", "Y2K" or "retro." The brand field tells the truth even when the title doesn't.

⚠️

New Seller Warnings

Sellers with fewer than 10 reviews flagged automatically. Combined with expensive items or luxury brands — a clear danger signal.

A safety checklist on
every single listing

Even when no warning fires, a collapsible checklist guides you through 5 things to verify. Built from real advice shared by Vinted buyers who learned the hard way.

Label or tag photo visible

A clothing tag photo proves the real brand and size. If missing — ask before buying.

Images checked with Google Lens

One click reverse image search — find out if photos appear on Shein, Temu or AliExpress.

Description sounds personal, not AI

Real sellers mention fit, flaws, why they're selling. AI descriptions are suspiciously perfect.

Paying through Vinted only

Never pay outside Vinted. You lose all buyer protection the moment you do.

Paying with a credit card

Credit cards offer chargeback protection. Debit cards and bank transfers offer much less.
