In recent days, a large number of Vinted users have reported seeing a frustrating error when trying to log in using their Gmail account:
"We are experiencing technical issues. Wait a few hours, then try again."
For many, this alert pops up without warning and prevents them from accessing their profiles, buying or selling items, or checking notifications. It's especially confusing because everything may have been working perfectly just hours before.
So, is it a Gmail issue? Is Vinted down? Or is something wrong with your device or browser?
In this guide, we'll break down what's really happening, how to fix it fast, and how to avoid running into similar Vinted technical issues again in the future. Whether you're a regular shopper or someone managing multiple listings, these tips will help you get back into your account without stress.
What Is the "We Are Experiencing Technical Issues" Error?
This message often appears during the login process—particularly when users choose the Gmail/Google login option. It looks like a generic error, but it usually signals one of a few specific problems:
🔧 Common Causes:
Temporary connection issues between Vinted and Google's OAuth system
Server overload or downtime on Vinted's side
Browser conflicts, such as cached cookies or expired tokens
Logging into several accounts or sessions too quickly may trigger Vinted’s security system and block access temporarily.
Sometimes, this issue clears up on its own. But if you're in a hurry to access your account or continue selling, you don't want to wait around.
[Troubleshoot] How to Fix the Vinted Gmail Login Error
If the Vinted website is up and running but you're still seeing the error, try these steps to fix the issue from your side.
✅ Step-by-Step Fix:
1. Clear Your Browser's Cache and Cookies
Old data can interfere with new login requests.
On Chrome: Settings > Privacy > Delete browsing data
On Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
2. Use Incognito or Private Browsing Mode
This bypasses cached data and third-party extensions that may conflict with the login.
3. Switch Browsers or Devices
Switching browsers (like Chrome to Firefox) or devices can bypass login issues. A fresh environment often avoids cached errors or compatibility problems.
4. Try to Disable VPN or Proxy (Temporarily)
VPNs and some proxies may trigger Vinted's security filters. Temporarily disable them to avoid login detection issues and access your account smoothly.
5. Try the Email & Password Option
Instead of logging in via Gmail, use your email address and password. If you haven't set one, use the "Forgot Password" option to create one.
💡 Pro Tip: Once you're back in, link a backup email in your account settings to avoid future login disruptions.
When to Contact Vinted Support
If you've tried all the above and still can't log in, it may be time to reach out to Vinted officials directly.

Advanced: Prevent Future Login Issues
🔹 Keep a Backup Login Method
Set a secure password even if you usually log in with Gmail. That way, you can use email/password if Gmail login fails again.
🔹 Avoid Logging Into Multiple Accounts on the Same Regular Browser
If you're a reseller or manage more than one Vinted account, be careful. Vinted can flag unusual behavior and trigger login restrictions.
👉 Do you tend to manage multiple accounts without risk? Try AdsPower—an anti-fingerprint browser that creates separate, isolated profiles for each Vinted account.
It's ideal for sellers who don't want logins getting linked.
🔹 Use Trusted Devices and IPs
Logging in from public networks or switching devices/IPs too often can raise red flags. Try to keep your activity consistent.
🔹 Don't Rely Solely on Gmail OAuth
While logging in with Gmail is convenient, it's still a third-party system. If either Vinted or Google updates its protocols, you could be locked out. Secure your login with a direct Vinted password as well.
