Mon, 19 Oct 2026 Vinted blocks French looters listing stolen goods for sale

The platform said since the weekend it had "taken immediate action to idenitify and remove listings linked to looting".
The company stated that since the weekend, its teams have been working to identify and remove listings linked to the looting. It also mentioned stepping up monitoring of suspicious listings and taking action against accounts involved, including permanent bans. eBay has not reported an increase in listings linked to the looting but said it works with law enforcement to investigate suspected stolen goods and takes appropriate action when authorities confirm an item is stolen. French PM condemned the "thieves" and "thugs" behind the riots. The violence resulted in over 2,000 businesses being directly impacted, with damage worth hundreds of millions of euros.
