Agents
Understanding agents
An agent is an automation that runs continuously inside the extension. It wakes up at regular intervals, looks at what has changed on Vinted, and acts according to your rules.
The four agents
| Agent | What it does | Where you configure it |
|---|---|---|
| Favorites | Sends a message (and possibly an offer) to the people who favorite your items | Extension: Agents menu |
| Auto-Messages | Replies automatically according to the events of a sale or a purchase | Extension: Agents menu |
| Offers | Accepts, declines and counters according to your strategy | Dashboard: Agents page |
| Auto-Repost | Reposts after a sale or at intervals, drops prices | Extension: wardrobe settings |
The Offers agent is the only one with no switch in the extension: its strategy is defined on the dashboard, and the extension simply carries it out.
Where to see their status
In the extension — the Agents menu shows each one's status, with a green badge counting those that are running. The banner on the reserved Vinted tab shows the same thing without opening the panel.
On the dashboard — the Agents page shows four status cards with their counters, an activity chart over 30 days and a detailed log.
What they need in order to run
An agent only runs if all of these conditions are met:
- Chrome is open, with a Vinted tab loaded.
- You are logged in to Vinted in that browser.
- Your Vintedge subscription is active (a failed payment stops everything).
- Your plan covers that agent.
- The agent is switched on.
That is the direct consequence of the choice never to hand your Vinted credentials to a server: the work happens in your browser, so your browser has to be on.
If you want the agents to run permanently, leave a machine on with Chrome and a Vinted tab — that is what high-volume sellers do.
They restart on their own
The agents are relaunched automatically when Chrome restarts or after it goes to sleep. You do not have to switch them back on every morning. On restart, Vintedge rechecks your subscription: an expired subscription does not bring an agent back to life.
In what order to activate them
Do not switch everything on the same day. You would no longer know which agent sent what, nor which one to correct.
- Favorites first. It is the one whose result is most visible, and the most tightly framed: a person who has been contacted is never contacted twice.
- Auto-Repost next, on a small list of items.
- Auto-Messages with only one or two triggers (for example "Order paid" and "Parcel shipped").
- Offers last: it is the one that touches your margin.
- The AI assistant right at the end, once you know how the rest behaves.
Between each, let a few days pass and read the activity log.
What makes them discreet
All the agents share the same philosophy: not looking like a robot.
- Random delays between two actions, never a fixed rhythm.
- The time range is respected: nothing goes out at 4 a.m.
- Random pauses during a session.
- Overall rate limited, with an automatic slowdown if Vinted protests.
Do not try to remove those delays. The time saved is marginal, the risk is not — and it is often zero anyway: Vinted caps sending at around twenty messages an hour. Beyond that threshold, sends are refused, however fast you fire them off. See Favorites.
The shared safeguards
- An order aimed at one Vinted account is never carried out from another.
- Nothing is sent twice: every action is recorded before it is carried out, so an interruption never produces a duplicate.
- When in doubt, nothing is sent. When Vintedge cannot verify the state of a conversation, it abstains rather than risk one message too many or overwriting an offer.
