A warning before a marketplace checks your listing

Vinted, Vestiaire and eBay pull listings and suspend accounts over authenticity, and the seller usually finds out afterwards. Flogit will tell you beforehand when a listing has the shape they look at, and what would answer it.

It never says an item is fake, and it never says it is authentic. Flogit cannot know that, nobody can know it from a photograph, and a tool that tells you your own jacket is counterfeit is wrong sometimes about the most insulting thing it could be wrong about.

What it does instead is name the pattern: a brand Vinted actually verifies, priced under half what comparable pieces are asking, with too few photos for anyone to see the label and a description that never mentions the tag or a receipt. Whether a brand gets verified is Vinted's own answer, not our guess.

It costs nothing. No photograph is read, no request is made unless the warning is already about to appear, and nothing counts against your plan.
