Just a little storytime about Vinted.

I just wanted to register on Vinted to sell some second-hand stuff, because I haven't had much success elsewhere. I would have never imaged that they will reject my addy.io alias. After a couple of annoying e-mails detailing how to register an account, I was left with the answer on the screenshot after trying to get an explanation why the domain I am paying for (not some random free gmail address) is not worthy of their services...

Alright, not 100% correct, but I am paying for a plan at addy.io and I used my personal "subdomain" at addy.io that I don't want to share here, because it does not matter.

Yeah it sounds like the company is blocking domains they don't understand or something, and not bothering to care that you are an actual person who asked why it was blocked.

I bet they don't block gmail despite 90% of the spam I get coming from @gmail.com addresses.
