Vinted Removes Ads for Looted Goods as French Protests Escalate

Vinted has removed listings for items likely stolen during widespread protests in France, tightening controls on suspicious ads. Retailers like Sephora and luxury brands (Céline, Louis Vuitton, Hermès) reported break-ins and looting, with some resellers explicitly referencing the protest day. This marks a notable response by a major platform to curb illicit trade, highlighting the scale of looting and the secondary market for stolen goods.
