At a glance
Active Vinted Listings for Sold-Elsewhere Items is a cross-channel metric tracked from Vinted data against your other sales channels. It counts items still live on Vinted that have already sold on BigCommerce or another channel. Because resale stock is usually one-of-a-kind, a live listing for an already-sold item is a direct oversell risk: if a Vinted buyer purchases it, you cannot fulfil, and that means a forced cancellation, a refund, and rating damage. This card exists to catch oversells before they happen.
| What it counts | The number of Vinted listings that are still active for items already sold on another channel. |
| Sample type | Backend API data from Vinted compared against other-channel sales, refreshed on the standard data refresh. |
| Why it matters | One-of-a-kind resale stock cannot be sold twice. A live listing for a sold item is an oversell waiting to happen, with cancellation, refund, and standing damage as the cost. |
| Reading the value | Any value above zero is an oversell risk to clear immediately. Each listed item should be pulled or marked sold on Vinted before a buyer purchases it. |
| Currency | count |
| Time window | Real time |
| Alert trigger | Fires when one or more sold-elsewhere items remain active on Vinted. |
| Sentiment key | vin_xc_listed_but_oos_on_bc |
| Roles | owner, operations, finance |
Calculation
Calculated automatically from your Vinted and other-channel data. Vortex IQ matches active Vinted listings to items recorded as sold on another channel and counts any that remain live on Vinted. See the At a glance summary above for what the metric tracks and the worked example below for a typical reading.Worked example
A representative reading of Active Vinted Listings for Sold-Elsewhere Items for a typical Pro seller on Vinted. The card reads three. Checking them, all three are vintage jackets that sold through BigCommerce over the weekend, but the sync that should have ended their Vinted listings did not run, so they are still live and buyable on Vinted. The risk is immediate: a Vinted buyer could purchase any of them, forcing a cancellation the moment the seller realises the item is gone. The action is to end those three Vinted listings now, then investigate why the sold-status sync did not propagate so it stops recurring. For deeper investigation, use Vortex Mind to trace the sync gap; for natural-language exploration, ask Ask Viq.Sibling cards merchants should reference together

vin_active_listings | Listing-health sibling: the live listings being checked. |
Reconciling against Vinted
Where to look in Vinted’s own dashboard: Vinted shows the listing as active and buyable, with no knowledge that the item sold elsewhere, so it cannot flag the conflict on its own. Reconcile by taking a flagged item and confirming it shows as sold on the other channel while still active on Vinted. Why the Vortex IQ value may legitimately differ:| Reason | Direction | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Sync timing. A sale just recorded elsewhere may not have ended the Vinted listing yet, which is exactly what this card catches. | Higher right after an other-channel sale | Treat the count as the work queue, not noise. |
| Match basis. Detection relies on matching the Vinted listing to the other-channel item; unmatched items are excluded. | Variable | Confirm SKU match coverage. |
| Sold definition. What counts as sold elsewhere (paid, shipped, fulfilled) may vary by channel. | Variable | Confirm the sold-status definition. |
