The Inbox tab
Read the conversations of every linked account in one list, find one, and clear a backlog in bulk.
What this tab is for
Buyers ask a question, haggle, chase a parcel — and on Vinted each of those sits in its own thread, on one account at a time. This tab gathers the conversations of every account you linked into a single list, newest first, so a morning of replies is one screen instead of a dozen.
Two things start from here and exist nowhere else in Vintex: the offers you accept or counter, and the order actions — cancelling a sale, asking for more time to ship.
Finding a conversation
Type in the search box to filter on the member's name or the last message, or press Unread to keep only what you haven't opened. The list loads in pages: Load more fetches the next batch and stays available as long as one account still has some.
Search only looks at what's already loaded
Vinted's inbox offers no server-side search — Vintex can only filter the conversations it has fetched. So a thread further down than what you loaded comes back as no result, which reads exactly like "this conversation doesn't exist". When that happens the message says how many conversations were searched and points at Load more; press it and search again. The same goes for Unread.
Handling several at once
Pick Choose an action above the list, tick the conversations, confirm. Mark as read clears the unread badge on the ones you've already dealt with elsewhere, and Delete conversations removes them. Select all ticks everything currently listed — that is, everything the search and filters leave visible, not everything the account has.
Deleting is final
A deleted conversation goes for good, on Vinted too, with its whole history. Vintex asks for confirmation and nothing more: there is no restore.
Why the list isn't always to the second
Vintex keeps Vinted reads in memory for 3 minutes here — the shortest of the whole dashboard, because a new message has to show up quickly. Without it, every tab switch would hammer Vinted's API, exactly the kind of burst that gets an account noticed.
Anything you do from Vintex refreshes what it invalidated. What the cache covers is change coming from elsewhere — a buyer writing while you read. The Refresh button, at the top of the page, forces an immediate re-read. Note that the list does not update on its own: there is no live feed.
If it doesn't work
| Symptom | Likely cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Empty list while Vinted shows conversations | No Vinted tab open for that account | Reopen a Vinted tab |
| A conversation you're sure exists returns no result | It is further down than the pages loaded | Load more, then search again |
| An account shows a red banner instead of its rows | That account's read failed | Refresh; if it persists, reload its Vinted tab |
| A row is greyed out and its tick box refuses the click | The chosen action doesn't apply to it — Mark as read only concerns unread ones | Pick another action, or another row |
