Fake Pokemon cards being reported and not deleted

VENT

So most of the time on Vinted I am favouriting collectibles such as Jellycat and Pokemon cards (mainly for myself but also I do occasionally buy new with tags gifts for friends from Vinted). But recently I have seen MANY (a good 10+ every week) accounts with just the same fake pokemon cards. Like for me I can tell they are obviously fake because I have many cards of the same sort so comparing and contrasting them is super easy BUT clearly Vinted’s MODs don’t know. Every time I report one of these accounts or their listings Vinted just say they can’t do anything! s

So instead I’ve come here to let people know because I am seeing these listings sell and have almost 100 favourites of possible buyers who can’t tell they are fake! I can definitely see why people would assume they aren’t fake but if you take a few minutes to look at them you can tell. The main issue that I find though is that they are all at around £15/£16 on each account so it makes it look like they are giving you a bargain whereas actually they’re just fake and not even noted as fakes! 😬

This turned into a big rant lol but I just had to let people know somehow because at this point in time Pokemon cards are very popular and I am noticing more and more parents on Vinted buying cards (who might not necessarily know about fakes!) so I wanted to give anyone buying a warning!
