Blocked Sellers
Manage a personal list of sellers you do not want to see items from.
The Blocked Sellers feature lets you maintain a personal exclusion list of Vinted sellers. When you block a seller, all of their future items are silently filtered out across every one of your monitors. This is useful for excluding sellers you have had bad experiences with, sellers who post misleading listings, or professional resellers you are not interested in buying from.
Blocking a Seller
There are two ways to block a seller:
- From a notification - Click the Block button on any item notification embed. The seller of that item is immediately added to your blocked list. You will never see their items in any monitor again. If the seller is already blocked, the bot tells you so.
- From account management - Run /my_info and click Manage Blocked to open the blocked sellers management panel. From here you can view your full blocked list, unblock individual sellers, or clear the entire list.
How Blocking Works Internally
Blocked sellers are checked at the earliest stage of the filtering pipeline. When the bot receives a batch of new items from Vinted, it checks each item's seller against your blocked list before applying any other filters (text filters, seller rating filters, URL-based filters). This means blocked seller checks are extremely fast and do not waste processing time on items you will never see.
The blocked sellers list is cached in memory and refreshed periodically for performance. When you block or unblock a seller, the cache is updated immediately so the change takes effect right away.
Managing Your List
The management panel (accessible via /my_info then Manage Blocked) displays all your blocked sellers with their Vinted usernames and seller IDs. The list is paginated if you have many blocked sellers (10 per page). You can:
- Unblock specific sellers - Select one or more sellers from the multi-select dropdown and they will be removed from your blocked list.
- Clear all - Click the trash button to remove every seller from your blocked list at once. The bot asks for confirmation before clearing since this action affects all your monitors.
- Navigate pages - Use the Previous and Next buttons if your list spans multiple pages.
Your total blocked seller count is also shown in the /my_info panel alongside your session, group, and monitor counts.
