Sellers on Vinted are expressing frustration over account bans and disputes handled by automated systems. Users like Catherine Warrilow and Maggie have reported losing money and accounts without adequate review of their evidence, raising concerns about the platform's support for sellers. Despite Vinted's claims of a high transaction success rate, many feel the appeal process lacks transparency and human oversight.

Consumer expert Martyn James highlights the growing dissatisfaction among users, pointing to the reliance on AI in resolving disputes. While Vinted maintains that appeals are reviewed by humans, the experiences shared by sellers suggest a need for improved communication and support mechanisms.
