Quick unlock

If you're blocked by a captcha right now, here are two quick methods to unlock Bleam:

Method 1: Send a message

Send a message on any of the conversations in your Vinted inbox. Vinted may ask you to solve a captcha to prove you're human.

Open my Vinted inbox

Method 2: Draft technique

1.Create a draft Vinted listing via the "Sell your items" button
2.A minimal draft is enough: just a listing title
3.Then edit this draft by going to the listing and clicking "Edit"
4.When you click on "Save this draft" (step 1) or "Validate" the listing modification (step 2), Vinted will ask you to solve a captcha
5.Solve the captcha and that's it! You can repost again with Bleam

Different types of verification

Vinted may present you with different types of verification:

A puzzle to solve (drag a piece to the right place)

A simple message "We're just verifying you're human" with a button to click

In both cases, simply complete the verification to unlock Bleam

Bleam detects captchas automatically

When a captcha blocks Bleam, it presents it directly to you and you just need to solve it for Bleam to continue its work. Vinted will then remember (via your cookies) that your browser is controlled by a human, not a robot.

Once the captcha is solved, Bleam can continue its automations without interruption

Reduce the number of captchas

Here are some tips to stop being harassed by Vinted captchas:

Solve captchas quickly

As soon as Bleam shows you a captcha, hurry to solve it: Vinted will store in your cookies the information that you are a real human

Limit the number of items

Avoid reposting more than 60 items. The longer a list is, the more likely Vinted is to stop you with a captcha

Space out repostings

Space items 20-30 seconds apart when reposting. Just use Bleam's "Space out repostings" option

Repost in multiple sessions

Rather than reposting 100 items at once, do 2 sessions of 50 repostings over a day, spacing the 2 by a few hours

Plus, it's more effective for visibility on Vinted!

If Vinted blocks your navigation

If Vinted blocks your navigation with a message, don't panic: it's temporary!

Clear your Chrome cookies or switch to private browsing to unblock yourself

Why does Vinted ask for captchas?

Vinted uses captchas to protect its platform against bots and abuse. When you use Bleam to automate certain tasks, Vinted may occasionally ask you to prove you're human.
