What to do if automatic republications don't work

If automatic republications are not working properly, follow these simple steps to quickly resolve the issue.

Automatic republications are a powerful Bleam feature that allows you to bring your items back to the forefront on Vinted. However, certain configurations are necessary for everything to work perfectly. Here are the steps to follow if you encounter difficulties.

Use Brave browser

For an optimal experience with automatic republications, we strongly recommend using the Brave browser. Based on Chromium (the same foundation as Chrome), Brave offers better stability for automations while naturally blocking ads and trackers.

Why Brave?

Free and open-source
Significantly improves automation stability
Built-in ad blocker
Compatible with all Chrome extensions

Verify your SMS code with a draft

Crucial step: First and foremost, it's essential to verify that Vinted is not asking you for an SMS code to validate your actions. This verification must absolutely be done from the browser where you use Bleam.

How to verify?

1.From the browser where Bleam is installed, open the Vinted listing creation page
2.Create a minimal draft (title only is enough, for example: "Test")
3.Observe carefully: If Vinted asks you for an SMS code, enter it to validate your session
4.Once the code is validated (or if no code is requested), you're ready!
5.You can delete the test draft, it's no longer needed

Check that two-factor authentication is enabled

Important: For automatic republications to work properly, two-factor authentication (2FA) must be enabled on your Vinted account. This is a security measure that protects your account while allowing Bleam to function reliably.

How to check and enable 2FA?

1.Go to your Vinted account security page
2.Check that "Two-factor authentication" is enabled (toggle ON)
3.If it's disabled, enable it by following the instructions

Go to Vinted security settings

📍 Verify that two-factor authentication is enabled

2FA is mandatory for republications

Without two-factor authentication enabled, Vinted may block certain automatic actions, including republications. Make sure it's properly enabled to avoid any issues.

Check Vinted captchas

Vinted sometimes implements captchas to verify that you are human. Although rare, this can temporarily block automatic republications. Here's how to quickly unblock the situation:

Quick method: Send a message

Access your Vinted messaging and send a message. A captcha may appear to verify you're human.

Open my Vinted inbox

Draft technique

1.Create a listing draft via "Sell your items"
2.Use minimal content (just the title is enough)
3.Edit the draft and click "modify"
4.Save the changes
5.Complete the captcha when it appears
6.Resume Bleam automations

Captchas can be puzzles to solve or simply an "I am human" button to click. In any case, you need to complete them to unlock your session.

Uninstall and reinstall the extension

If the problem persists after the previous steps, a clean reinstall of the extension can resolve the issue. Don't worry: your Bleam account and configurations are saved.

How to uninstall and reinstall Bleam?

1.Open your browser (Brave or Chrome)
2.Type brave://extensions in the address bar (or chrome://extensions if you use Chrome) then press Enter
3.Find the Bleam extension in the list
4.Click "Remove" then confirm the removal
5.Go to the Chrome Web Store and search for "Bleam"
6.Click "Add to Chrome" (or "Add to Brave") to reinstall the extension
7.Once installed, log back into your Bleam account and verify everything works

Reinstalling ensures you have the very latest version of Bleam with all recent fixes.

💡 Tips to avoid problems

Use a dedicated tab for republications
Avoid manually browsing while Bleam performs automatic republications. This can cause interference.
Check your 2FA regularly
Make sure two-factor authentication remains always enabled. It can sometimes be disabled after a Vinted account update.
Stable internet connection
An unstable internet connection can interrupt automatic republications. Prefer a stable WiFi connection.

In summary

Most issues with automatic republications are resolved by following these simple steps: use Brave, verify SMS code via a draft, ensure two-factor authentication is enabled, check captchas, and if necessary uninstall and reinstall the extension. If the problem persists, don't hesitate to contact our support!
