Does Hiding and Unhiding Items on Vinted Make Them Show Up First in Search?

Many Vinted sellers wonder if they can “refresh” their listings by simply hiding and unhiding items, hoping this trick will boost visibility and bring their items back to the top of search results.

The Short Answer:

No, hiding and unhiding an item does not bump it back to the top of Vinted’s search results.

Why Not?

Vinted’s search algorithm prioritizes:

  • Newest listings
  • Relevancy to search terms
  • Filters (price, size, condition, etc.)

Simply hiding and unhiding an item doesn’t count as a new listing. The original upload date stays the same, so the item will keep its place in the search ranking.

How Can You Boost Your Item in Search?

If you want your item to appear higher in search again, you can:

  • Use the “Bump” feature (paid promotion to boost visibility)
  • Relist the item manually (by deleting and re-uploading it)
  • Lower the price (Vinted sometimes promotes price drops)
  • Improve your photos and description (to match search intent better)

Pro Tip:

Regularly updating your listings and keeping prices competitive is the best organic way to stay visible without paying for boosts.
