How to use the Souk feed
Understand why items appear, review listing details, message sellers on Turbo or Business, buy or make offers, and troubleshoot an empty feed.
On this page
The Souk feed shows new Vinted listings that match your enabled filters. Use it to review items, contact sellers, make offers and start Autobuy purchases.
Open and navigate the feed
Select Feed from the Souk navigation. New matching items appear as Souk receives them. When a new-items button is shown, select it to load the latest results without losing your current position.
Your display options can change how items are arranged without changing which items match your filters.
Pause the feed (computer)
On a computer, hold the Shift key (⇧) to freeze the feed: new listings stop moving the cards while you look at or click an item. A Paused badge shows how many listings are waiting. Release the key and they are all added at once. No listing is lost, and sounds and notifications keep working. The key does nothing while you type in a field.
For a longer pause, select the pause button (⏸) above the feed, or Pause the feed in the Display menu. The feed stays paused until you select Resume.
Why an item appears
An item appears because it matches at least one enabled filter. Its category, price, country, seller details, keywords and other recorded attributes are evaluated against that filter’s criteria.
An item can match more than one filter. Open its details to review the relevant filter context before buying.
Review an item
Open an item card to inspect the available information, including:
- photos, title, description and condition;
- listing price and an estimated checkout total when available;
- seller information and country;
- the matching filter and folder context;
- message, offer and purchase actions available to your plan and accounts.
Checkout totals are estimates until Vinted confirms the buyer-protection and shipping costs.
Buy, make an offer or message the seller
- Buy now: starts Autobuy with the selected eligible Vinted account.
- Create Bundle: pick other items from the same seller. Souk shows the bundle price calculated by Vinted, then Buy bundle. Without Autobuy, the bundle opens on Vinted.
- Make offer: lets you choose an account and offer amount. You can optionally configure a reusable message or automatic buying after acceptance when those options are available.
- Message seller: opens the seller conversation so you can send a message through an eligible linked Vinted account. This action is available on Turbo and Business.
- View on Vinted: opens the original listing for an additional check.
- Pre-order: while Vinted is still reviewing the listing, Souk buys it as soon as it is published, for up to 72 hours. Available on Turbo and Business. Your waiting pre-orders are in Transactions › Orders, Pre-orders button (souk.to/app/transactions?view=preorders), where you can change their accounts or cancel them.
For the complete conversation and offer features, see Use Messaging, offers and seller conversations.
A purchase started from a folder or filter context can use that folder’s purchase settings. A purchase without folder context uses the global settings.
Block a seller
From a card’s menu or the item page, choose Block seller: their listings no longer appear in your filters and Autocop no longer buys them. A message lets you undo right away. Find and unblock your sellers in Settings → Blocked vendors.
Purchase attempts
When a purchase is started, the item can show its attempts and latest result. Use the full Transactions page to compare attempts across accounts and follow successful orders.
See Understand orders and purchase attempts.
If the feed has no results
- Confirm that the filter is enabled.
- Review its countries, price range, keyword groups and exclusions.
- Remove unnecessary criteria if every group is too restrictive.
- Too many off-topic listings? Double-click a word in a card’s title, then Ban: the word joins the exclusions of that filter or of all your filters, and cards containing it leave the feed.
- Allow about an hour for popular items and a few hours for rare items before concluding that nothing matches.
