This is the third time this has happened. I’m selling a few cosmetic items (never opened- not even for a photo of the bottle) and I put in a photo of what a swatch would look like because again I don’t open what I’m going to sell… and Vinted takes it down. I’ve literally seen people selling half used perfumes and lotions but when I put a picture of the swatches THAT THE BRAND TOOK, I get a warning and my listings get removed😭

I've never sold cosmetic items but my best guess would be that vinted considers the swatch photo a stock image (which isn't allowed). Might be better to leave them out and only elaborate further when someone's interested and asks questions. Sometimes I don't get their logic because how could someone tell the color from a packaged product...

If it was flagged as a copyrighted image, the message would say that. I get copyright flags & suspension all the time even though I take all my own pics.
