FAQ
Questions and answers.
What Vinds does, how your accounts stay safe, and what the beta includes.
Getting started
What is Vinds?
Vinds watches new Vinted listings for you. You describe what you are looking for in filters, matches arrive in a live feed, you get alerts on Discord, Telegram or ntfy, you can buy in one click within the limits you set, and you follow your orders across accounts in one place.
Which marketplaces does Vinds support?
Vinted France (vinted.fr) for now. Other Vinted countries and marketplaces will come later; follow the changelog to see what ships.
How much does it cost?
Nothing during the beta. Before any pricing, we will tell you in advance, and you will be able to close your account at no cost.
How do I get access?
During the beta, accounts are opened by invitation. Write to contact@vinds.app or join the Discord community to ask for access.
Which languages and devices?
The app is available in English and French. It runs in the browser on a computer or a phone; connecting a Vinted account uses the Vinds browser extension for Chrome or Firefox.
Accounts and security
Do you need my Vinted password?
No. Vinds never asks for your Vinted password and never stores it. While you are signed in on vinted.fr, the Vinds extension sends your Vinted session to your account in one click. The session is encrypted (AES-256-GCM) before it is stored.
How many Vinted accounts can I connect?
There is no limit during the beta. You choose which accounts may buy, manually or automatically, and how Vinds picks one.
Where is my data stored?
On servers in Amsterdam, in the European Union. Our sign-in, error tracking and analytics are self-hosted, and we never sell your data. Alerts you turn on go through Discord, Telegram or ntfy. The privacy policy has the details.
Can I delete my account?
Yes. Write to contact@vinds.app and we will close your account and delete your data, except what the law requires us to keep.
Is Vinds affiliated with Vinted?
No. Vinds is an independent service, not affiliated with or endorsed by Vinted.
Alerts and buying
Where do alerts arrive?
In the live feed, and on Discord, Telegram or ntfy, or your own tools through signed webhooks. On Discord and Telegram, alerts carry buttons to buy or to block the seller.
Does Vinds buy automatically?
Only if you turn it on. Automatic buying is off by default; you enable it per filter and per account, with a maximum total per purchase and active hours, and one switch stops it.
Who pays, and what does a purchase cost?
Purchases use the payment method saved in your own Vinted account, at Vinted's usual price: item, Vinted fee and shipping. Vinds never handles your bank details and adds no fee during the beta.
