Reposting
Why and when to repost
What a repost changes
On Vinted, a listing's visibility depends mostly on its freshness. A listing published three months ago no longer appears in the default search feeds, whatever its quality.
Reposting means deleting the old listing and creating a new one with the same item. It goes back to the top of the results, and becomes visible again.
What Vintedge does exactly
A repost is not a simple "publish again". Vintedge:
- Reads all the characteristics of the original listing — brand, category, size, condition, colors, measurements, shipping costs, parcel format.
- Applies your rules for price, title and description.
- Downloads the photos again, applies discreet transformations to them, and uploads them back.
- Creates a draft, waits, then publishes.
- Only deletes the old listing once the new one is confirmed as published.
That last point is not a detail: it is what guarantees you never lose an item along the way.
Why the image transformations
Vinted detects duplicated listings, partly through a fingerprint of the photos. Republishing exactly the same images of the same item risks removal for duplication, or even a penalty on the account.
Vintedge therefore applies changes that are imperceptible to the eye but enough to change the fingerprint: a slight rotation, a crop of a few percent, micro-noise, a border. The details are in Image transformations.
Do not switch them off thinking you will save time: they cost nothing and they are the reason reposting works.
When to repost
There is no universal rule, but there are markers that work:
| Situation | What to do |
|---|---|
| Item online for more than 3-4 weeks, with no sale | Repost |
| Lots of views, no likes | The problem is the photo or the price, not freshness |
| Lots of likes, no sale | Drop the price or contact the favoriters — do not repost |
| Item sold, and you have an identical one | Repost after the sale |
| Item published yesterday | Do nothing |
Sorting your wardrobe by likes descending is the best free diagnosis: what is at the top draws interest, and does not sell.
How many to repost per day
This is the question that decides your account's health.
- Build up gradually. An account that suddenly reposts a hundred items after months of quiet gets noticed.
- Use the daily limit. It is in the repost settings, it is made for this.
- Keep the "Auto" delay mode, which spaces reposts irregularly by 60 to 120 seconds.
- Do not repost everything on the same day. Spread it out: that is what scheduled reposting does.
Your plan's quotas (1,000 to 5,000 reposts a month depending on the plan) are billing ceilings, not targets.
The safest mode: the draft
In the settings, the Draft only option creates the listing on Vinted without publishing it. You publish it yourself, whenever you want, possibly after changing a photo.
It is slower, but it is the mode that most reduces the risk of removal for duplication — because a manual publication from the Vinted app looks nothing like anything automatic.
If you are starting out, or if an account has already had a warning, begin there.
The mistake not to make
The Keep original listing active option does not delete the original listing. The result: two identical listings online at the same time. That is exactly what Vinted penalizes.
It exists for special cases (testing a title variant over a short period). It is off by default, and it should stay that way.
