- May 202690 notes
- Reseller economicsVinted's seller-trust score is built from five inferred signals only two are visible to you in the app, the other three are inferred from your behaviour and silently rank your shop above or below competitors3 min
- GLP-1The exercise context line log one note per week on whatever movement the week contained, even if it's just walking; over months, the exercise note lets you separate lifestyle confound from dose-related shifts on energy and appetite4 min
- Reseller economicsDispatch within 4 hours triples your 5-star ratings and the 5-star average is one of Vinted's hidden seller-trust signals that ranks your shop above sellers with worse ratings on identical items3 min
- Reseller economicsThe "create similar" relist trap Vinted's one-tap relist after a sold item produces a near-duplicate listing the algorithm quietly penalises; the right move is to re-source the title vocabulary before relisting3 min
- GLP-1The appointment-debrief entry the 90 seconds immediately after the appointment ends, write down what the prescriber actually said in their words, not your interpretation of it; the debrief entry is the version of the appointment that's still in the journal a year from now4 min
- GLP-1The week-zero entry log a baseline week before the first dose so future-you has something to compare against; the entry costs five minutes and pays back at every appointment3 min
- Reseller economicsVinted's homefeed is personalised per buyer based on their recent searches your titles need to match the cohort you want to attract, not your own seller vocabulary3 min

- GLP-1The food note rule log one food note per week, especially the meal before any side effect; over months, the journal becomes a personal food-tolerance map4 min
- Reseller economicsThe shop bio is a conversion lever 90% of sellers leave blank three lines (dispatch turnaround, bundle commitment, returns posture) lifts shop-visit-to-purchase by a measurable amount2 min
- Reseller economicsSaturday 8am uploads and Sunday 8pm uploads do different jobs the buyer behaviour patterns are different, and matching upload time to category is the lever most sellers don't know exists2 min
- GLP-1The same-word rule for side effects pick one word for each symptom and stick to it; "queasy" or "nauseous" but not both — searchable across months only if the vocabulary is consistent3 min
- Reseller economicsThe "free postage weekend" trap Vinted's promotional events look like a free sales boost, but the postage discount comes out of the seller's margin and most sellers opt in without doing the maths2 min
- GLP-1The 60-second wake-up entry one observation captured before coffee, routine, or phone notifications; the cleanest data point of the day because nothing else has happened yet2 min
- Reseller economicsThe Wardrobe Spotlight waste most sellers pay to bump a listing the algorithm has already deprioritised, doubling down on a dead listing instead of fixing the upstream problem2 min

- Reseller economicsTurning the "make an offer" button on lifted my sell-through rate by a third most sellers disable it to avoid lowballs, but buyer-initiated negotiation is a conversion accelerator the algorithm reads2 min
- GLP-1The morning-vs-evening logging anchor picking and sticking to one time of day for logging matters more than how often; random-time entries blur the pattern even when the cadence looks consistent2 min
- GLP-1The fortnight rolling summary every 14 days, scroll back through the prior entries and write a one-line summary at the top of the current entry; compresses pattern so the 6-month review is actually readable2 min
- Reseller economicsThe themed-restock cluster six items from the same category dropped back-to-back signal "shop" to the algorithm and turn the "similar items" carousel into your own internal cross-sell2 min
- GLP-1The missed-week backfill trap if you've gone five-plus days without logging, don't backfill from memory, start clean from the next entry2 min
- Reseller economicsImage-#1 is for the algorithm, images 2–5 are for the buyer different jobs, different photo rules, and most sellers waste the slot that decides visibility2 min
- Reseller economicsThe homefeed-vs-search gap most sellers tune everything for search keywords, but Vinted's homefeed now drives 40%+ of impressions and uses entirely different signals2 min
- GLP-1The dose-change two-week grace period when a new dose strength starts, switch to every-2-day logging for a fortnight, then drop back to weekly2 min
- Reseller economicsThe search-bar autocomplete is the buyer's-own-words list type your brand into Vinted, and the autocomplete shows the search order you should be writing titles in2 min
- GLP-1The pen-lifecycle ledger one column tracking each pen's open-date and depleted-date, so you never double-open and you know exactly when to order the next refill1 min
- GLP-1The missed-dose recovery rule write your prescriber's "if I miss a dose" instruction at the top of the journal, so when it happens eight weeks in you're reading not guessing1 min
- Reseller economicsThe emoji-in-title trap sparkle and star emojis push real keywords out of the title and Vinted's search index strips them anyway1 min
- Reseller economicsThe 50-ratings inflection point once your shop crosses 50 five-star ratings, fresh uploads get a visible algorithmic lift across the board1 min
- GLP-1The site rotation tag a single letter on the weekly entry tells you which side you used last week, because four weeks in you will not remember2 min
- GLP-1The pre-appointment screenshot one screen, one share, the whole conversation gets two minutes shorter and ten times more accurate1 min
- Reseller economicsThe photo-aspect-ratio gap landscape thumbnails get cropped to a square and lose half the garment; portrait fills the feed and earns the tap1 min
- Reseller economicsThe follower feed when a follower opens Vinted, your new uploads sit in their personalised feed for roughly six hours; almost no seller batches around it2 min
- Reseller economicsThe fast-dispatch badge qualifying for it lifts conversion 18–25% across the whole shop, not just the badged listings1 min
- GLP-1The skip-vs-missed distinction labelling a deliberate gap differently from a forgotten gap saves a real conversation with the prescriber1 min
- Reseller economicsThe edit-listing penalty Vinted quietly down-ranks listings that get repeatedly edited after publication1 min
- GLP-1Date the pen a one-line organisational note for the day a new pen was opened, because the pharmacist will ask1 min
- Reseller economicsThe category-browse vs search-bar algorithm gap same listing, two rankings, most sellers only optimise for one1 min
- Reseller economicsThe bundle-discount tier ladder 2/3/4 items, not a flat percentage, trains the buyer to add a third1 min

- GLP-1The dose-change anniversary note when the prescriber adjusts your dose, write one line explaining what changed and why1 min
- Reseller economicsThe brand-field-AND-title-slot-1 rule brand searches only surface listings that have both1 min
- Reseller economicsThe 5% discount cliff drops under 5% don't fire the favourites notification, and £1 nudges are usually below it1 min
- Reseller economicsThe wrong-subcategory mistake "Outerwear > Jackets" vs "Outerwear > Coats" can halve your visibility1 min
- GLP-1The Sunday kit check pen, needles, sharps bin, wipes — supplies belong in the weekly review1 min
- GLP-1Sleep is the lead indicator, not the lagging one energy follows sleep by 2–3 days1 min
