## At a glance

> **Listings Priced Above Country Average** is a listing-health metric tracked from Vinted data. It counts how many of your listings sit meaningfully above the typical price for their category in the buyer's country. Vinted shows buyers category and country price context, so items priced well above that reference tend to draw few clicks and sit unsold. A large share above average is usually a pricing problem rather than a demand problem.

|                       |                                                                                                                                                                            |

| **What it counts**    | The number of active listings priced notably above the category-country average for their market over the selected period.                                                 |
| **Sample type**       | Backend API data from Vinted combined with category-country price context, refreshed on the standard data refresh.                                                         |
| **Why it matters**    | Buyers anchor on the prices Vinted surfaces for similar items in their country. Listings far above that anchor get fewer clicks, slower sales, and faster freshness decay. |
| **Reading the value** | Lower is better as a share of catalogue. A count above the safe share of your listings points to systematic overpricing that is suppressing clicks.                        |
| **Currency**          | count                                                                                                                                                                      |
| **Time window**       | `30D`                                                                                                                                                                      |
| **Alert trigger**     | Fires when the share of listings priced above the country average exceeds the configured ceiling of the catalogue.                                                         |

| **Roles**             | owner, marketing, finance                                                                                                                                                  |

## Calculation

Calculated automatically from your Vinted data. Vortex IQ compares each active listing's price against the typical category price for the buyer's country and counts listings sitting meaningfully above that reference. 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 **Listings Priced Above Country Average** for a typical Pro seller on Vinted.* A shop with 500 active listings shows 95 priced above the country average, around 19% of the catalogue, past the comfortable share. Reviewing them, a block of branded trainers was priced at the original retail logic rather than the resale market, so they sit far above where comparable pairs sell in that country. The action is to rebase those prices toward the local resale band, which should lift clicks and reduce stale inventory. Pieces that are genuinely rare can stay above average, since scarcity justifies it. For deeper investigation, use Vortex Mind to see which categories carry the overpricing; for natural-language exploration, ask Ask Viq.

## Sibling cards merchants should reference together

| Card                                                                                                  | Why merchants reach for it                                              |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| [`vin_aov_by_country`](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/vinted/aov-by-country-eu)                              | Geography sibling: realised price per country versus the reference.     |
| [`vin_favourites_to_views_rate`](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/vinted/favourites-views-conversion)          | Listing-health sibling: engagement that suffers when price is too high. |
| [`vin_stale_listings_14d`](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/vinted/listings-expiring-soon)                     | Listing-health sibling: aging listings often overpriced.                |
| [`vin_xc_price_parity`](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/vinted/same-item-priced-differently-vs-mercari-depop) | Cross-channel sibling: price gaps versus other resale platforms.        |
| [`vin_aov`](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/vinted/average-order-value)                                       | Sales sibling: the realised average sale price.                         |

## Reconciling against Vinted

**Where to look in Vinted's own dashboard:**

Vinted shows buyers a price context for similar items when browsing a category in a given country, and prompts sellers about pricing when listing. There is no seller report of "above-average" counts, so reconcile by sampling listings flagged here and comparing them against similar live items in the same category and country.

**Why the Vortex IQ value may legitimately differ:**

| Reason                                                                                                                                         | Direction | What to do                                                     |
| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Reference basis.** Vortex IQ uses a category-country price reference; Vinted's on-screen context may use a narrower or wider comparison set. | Variable  | Treat the count as directional, not a Vinted-published figure. |
| **Condition mix.** A genuinely premium-condition item can sit above average for good reason.                                                   | Higher    | Exclude justified-premium items when judging the count.        |
| **Period boundary.** Vortex IQ uses 30-day rolling references; live context updates continuously.                                              | Marginal  | Match the comparison window where possible.                    |

## Known limitations / merchant FAQs

**Q: How often does Listings Priced Above Country Average update?**
It refreshes on the standard data refresh (typically every 30-60 minutes for live integrations). After repricing, force a manual refresh to confirm the count falls.

**Q: Why does my Vinted dashboard show a different number?**
Vinted publishes no such count, so any difference is about the reference basis, condition mix (premium items legitimately above average), and the comparison window. Treat the figure as directional guidance rather than a Vinted-reported number.

**Q: How does Listings Priced Above Country Average relate to other listing-health metrics?**
Overpricing suppresses clicks and favourites and accelerates staleness, so read it with the favourites-to-views card and the stale-listings card. Together they show whether price is the brake on discovery.

**Q: Can I customise the alert threshold?**
Yes, the acceptable catalogue share is configurable per profile in the Sensitivity tab. Sellers of rare or designer pieces often raise it, since a higher share above average is normal for scarce stock.
