Vinted is not one site: it is 26 national shops, each with its own address, its own currency and its own list of visible sellers. rega can watch all of them. This page explains how to open a second one without getting it wrong, how to read a price that is not in euros, and how to change rega’s language — which is a setting completely separate from the country you watch.
The one sentence to remember. The site being watched (“which shop am I looking at”) and the origin (“where does the seller come from”) are two different things, and rega derives the first from the second. An origin that matches no shop drops the filter back to France — where the United Kingdom does not exist. Six of one customer’s filters were in that state, and nothing said so: no error, no counter.

​
The two axes people mix up

The site selector was removed from the form. There used to be two rows of country chips one under the other — the site, then the origin — and the owner read that as a duplicate. Since then only one row remains and the site is derived from it. That is simpler, but it moves where you have to pay attention: you now have to read the line rega writes underneath.

​
How rega decides which shop it looks at

The trap, measured in production on 14 August. A customer had ticked “United Kingdom” and “United States” as the origin. Under the old rule those two countries matched no shop, so the site stayed France: their filters read vinted.fr and threw away listings priced in pounds before even looking at them. They could not structurally find anything British — and they filled up with European listings instead.The derivation has been fixed since, and rega now repairs an impossible pair on its own. But the rule of the game is unchanged: one filter = one market.

​
Opening a second country, step by step

rega's Filters screen

The Filters screen: every newly watched shop starts from here.

1

Open “+ New filter”

The button sits at the top of the Filters screen (badge 6 on the annotated capture further down). It first asks which marketplace you are working on, then opens the form.
2

Scroll to SELLER'S ORIGIN and tick “By market”

The panel that opens says: “A market = what an account from that country sees. Choosing a market keeps the sellers it can reach.”Pick the country — United Kingdom, for instance. rega then writes, under the selector: “A United Kingdom account (vinted.co.uk) sees 2 countries:” followed by the United States and United Kingdom chips.
3

Read the line “Watching Vinted United Kingdom.”

That is the only thing on screen telling you which shop will actually be read. If it says “Watching Vinted France.” when you wanted the United Kingdom, your country selection matches no shop — go back before you save.
4

Connect an account from that country, and let it connect once

With no account from that country, the form shows: “No United Kingdom account is connected: this filter will spot listings, but no purchase can go out. Connect a United Kingdom account from the Accounts page.”This warning blocks nothing: preparing filters before accounts is a legitimate order of work. But as long as no British account is connected, detection will work and the purchase will never go out.
5

Check the marker on the filter's row

Back in the list, the filter carries a Site: United Kingdom marker. French filters carry none — that is deliberate: a marker that is always there stops being a marker.
The safest shortcut: paste a link. The PASTE A VINTED LINK (OPTIONAL) field, right at the top of the form, reads the country from the address itself. Pasting a vinted.co.uk/catalog?… address creates a British filter without you ticking anything, and the line “Watching Vinted United Kingdom.” appears on its own. It is the method that goes wrong least often.

​
Which origin to tick

The four chips, word for word, and what they cost:
“By market” and “By country” cost exactly the same. The form says so: “Country and region are one and the same criterion here: the seller’s origin, whether chosen by market or country by country. The cost is the same either way.” Do not go looking for a third price.
The good news that cancels the cost. If your filter already carries a category, restricting the origin costs nothing at all — the form writes it out: “This filter already carries a category: restricting the origin adds no delay. Both criteria are settled together, their costs do not add up.” On a filter with a category, go down to the country without hesitating.

​
The 26 shops

The address cannot be guessed from the country. The United Kingdom is on vinted.co.uk, the United States on vinted.com — not on vinted.gb or vinted.us. And the list obeys no geographical rule: the euro area, the European Union and Vinted’s shops do not overlap. If a country looks missing, it is because it has no Vinted shop.
If a country does not appear in the “By market” list, the panel shows: “Markets unavailable — use “By country”.”

​
A market does not only see its own country

This is the least intuitive point on the whole page, and the one that manufactures mistakes.
A British account sees exactly two countries: the United Kingdom and the United States.
So “By market → United Kingdom” ticks two countries, not one. That is normal — it is what an account over there really sees — and the form spells it out: “A United Kingdom account (vinted.co.uk) sees 2 countries:”. The measured reach of the three markets that come up most:
What you must never do: mix two countries from two markets. Ticking “United Kingdom” + “Germany” produces a selection no shop covers. rega then falls back to France, and your filter looks at vinted.fr, where the United Kingdom does not exist.Two countries from two markets = two filters. There is no other method.
A “France + Germany” filter, on the other hand, stays on the French market, and that is deliberate: Germany is inside what a French account sees, so the pair makes sense. rega only auto-corrects impossible pairs — those whose set of possible listings is empty by construction. Wherever your choice makes sense, it is respected.

​
Currencies: two prices on the same card

rega never converts anything. That is a decision, not a gap: we do not have the day’s rate, and inventing it would mean displaying a figure nobody has measured.
A foreign listing therefore carries two distinct amounts, and mixing them up is expensive:

The listing price

What the seller wrote, in their currency. On a British listing: £10.

The delivered total

What you will pay, fees included, in your currency. Rendered separately, right beside it.
Do not compare those two figures as if they were in the same currency. The first is the price shown by the seller, the second is the amount that gets debited. The defect that led to this rule is instructive: an item listed at £10 was displayed as €11.84 — the seller’s number, painted with the buyer’s symbol. Across the 217 cards in that measurement, 217 already carried the seller’s currency; only the number was missing.

​
The currency settles the country for free

This is the mechanism that makes multi-country watching viable. A currency used by a single shop points at its country unambiguously — and that information arrives with the listing, with nothing to ask for. Measured on 14 August across 90 listings from six shops: Eight currencies point at a single country this way: PLN, CZK, DKK, SEK, HUF, RON, GBP, USD. The euro never does: 18 of the 26 shops use it.
What that is worth, in time. When the currency is enough to settle the question, the card appears in ~0.15 s instead of waiting for a check measured at 15 s. That is why a British filter is nearly as fast today as a French one, even though it carries a country constraint.
The worldwide stream is not mostly in euros. Across 395 real births: EUR 212 · GBP 95 · PLN 41 · USD 16 · HUF 10 · CZK 7 · RON 6 · SEK 4 · DKK 4 — that is 46% of the stream outside the euro area. A customer who stays on “Euro area” therefore ignores, by construction, close to half of everything born on Vinted.

​
Comparing prices across countries

This is the question every shop asks when it opens a second market: “my €200 ceiling — what is it worth on a British filter?”. The answer depends on which ceiling.

​
The three ceilings, from widest to narrowest

The Purchase ceiling describes itself: “Above this amount, the purchase is refused and you are told. Empty = no ceiling.” Once set, it also refuses an item whose price cannot be read.
A filter’s cap really is in euros, including on a foreign filter. Its € max label is accurate: it is compared against the price as reported in your currency, not against the price shown by the seller. A British filter capped at €200 will therefore correctly refuse anything that would cost you more than €200, whatever number is written in pounds on the listing.
The filter’s MIN PRICE / MAX PRICE bounds, however, are not always in euros.On a filter that carries a category with no brand and no keyword at all, the selection is done by Vinted itself, in the shop’s currency. On a British filter of that kind, a MAX PRICE (€) set to 100 is therefore compared against 100 pounds, even though the label shows the euro symbol in both languages.What to do: on a foreign “category only” filter, enter your bounds in the country’s currency. As soon as the filter carries a brand or a keyword, the question disappears: the bounds become euros again.
Amounts in several currencies do not add up, and rega refuses to pretend otherwise. On tracking that mixes sales in zlotys, pounds and euros, the screen does not manufacture a single total: it shows one sum per currency, and the column’s tooltip reminds you that two currencies never add up. An honest cell rather than a false figure.

​
What can refuse a foreign purchase

A foreign filter always detects. It is the purchase that can be refused, and rega names the exact cause every time rather than serving one vague catch-all refusal.
These five sentences appear in French, even when rega is in English. They are the only refusals in the product that do not yet have an English version — which is exactly why we quote them here as they will actually reach you. Every other purchase refusal is bilingual.
The last two arrive before any debit. If you see them, nothing has been paid. The last one is special: it is the only place in rega that refuses out of ignorance. Not knowing which country an account belongs to is not a licence to let it pay — missing a purchase costs one item, paying from the wrong country can cost the account.
A payment is never replayed after an interruption at payment time. The outcome there is unknown, and replaying would risk a double debit. You will be told, but rega will not retry on its own.

​
Changing rega’s language

This setting is entirely independent of the countries you watch. Switching rega to English changes no filter, no country, no shop. And watching Vinted UK does not put rega into English.
The Settings screen with numbered badges on its tabs

The Settings screen. The language lives in the “Appearance” tab — badge 9.

1

Settings → Appearance

The Language section is the first one in the panel. Its description: “This choice follows your account, not this device: your e-mails go out in this language.”
2

Click the “Français” or “English” chip

Each chip carries a small flag. The row spells out what is covered: “The interface, the messages and the e-mails.”
3

Check the acknowledgement

A short message confirms, in the language you switched to: “Language — English” when you move to English, “Langue — Français” when you go back to French. If the acknowledgement comes out in the old language, the switch did not take.

​
What the switch changes, and what it does not

Changes

The screen, with no reload. The refusal messages served by our servers. Your e-mails and your saved notifications. Vinted’s own labels (categories, conditions, sizes). Number formatting — “4 213” becomes “4,213”. Country and market names, and the order of their list.

Does not change

No watched country. No shop. No filter. No paying account. The language never moves what a filter looks at — otherwise it would also move which account pays.
The language belongs to the person, not to the company. Two people in the same customer space can read rega in two different languages, each receiving their e-mails in their own. We translate for a reader, not for an organisation.
The language follows the account; the theme follows the device. Switching the language from your phone also changes your desktop and your e-mails. Switching the dark/light theme does not — the appearance settings apply “to this device only”.

​
Our advice

Never tick two countries belonging to two different shops in the same origin: the selection matches no shop and rega falls back to France. To watch the United Kingdom and Germany, make two filters. It is slightly more work up front, and it is the only configuration that works.
Since the site selector was removed, that line is the only thing on screen that tells you where you are really looking. Get into the habit of resting your eyes on it just before you click Save, the way you check a recipient before sending a transfer.
rega does not accept a declared country: it observes an account’s country on its first successful connection. Until that has happened, a freshly added account is treated as French — the “No United Kingdom account is connected” warning stays up, and a British purchase would be refused. Add the account and connect it.
The “no account from that country” warning warns without blocking: preparing filters before accounts is a legitimate order of work. The risk is one of timing: with no account from that country, detection will work perfectly and the refusal will only arrive at drop time, when the item is already gone. Close the loop before your first real hunt.
“Euro area” is slightly wider than what can really be bought from France: it lets a few extra listings through, it never makes you miss one. Switching to “By country” to get “France + Belgium + Germany” costs you ~0.7 s of detection on every listing, for a sort you can do by eye on the card. Keep “By country” for wholesale exclusion, not for cosmetic precision.
This is the only area of the product where the “(€)” label can mislead. It only concerns filters carrying a category with no brand and no keyword. Add a brand or a keyword and the problem disappears — with a speed gain thrown in.
It is the only capacity lever that is free, and opening a second country mechanically increases the stream to sort. Measured across 675 real listings: with a floor at €10, only 42% of the stream remains; at €20, 23%; at €50, 7%. ⚠️ The floor applied is the lowest across all your active filters: a single filter without a floor cancels the benefit for all the others.
The Estimate button always measures the French catalogue, whatever shop is being watched. On a British filter, the figure it returns therefore has no value for that filter. Judge a foreign filter on its detection counter after a few hours, not on its estimate.
A group’s country is fixed at creation and cannot be edited afterwards — like the marketplace. A group whose country was flipped would fill up with accounts from the other country. So create one group per country; if you got it wrong, delete and recreate.
The sign-in screen has no language switch: it shows in French until you are identified, and your choice only takes effect once you are signed in. For an English-speaking colleague, send them their invitation link — that one opens in English by default — rather than the bare sign-in address.
The screen switches before the choice is stored, and does not wait for confirmation: that is what makes the switch instant. The price of that choice is that a failed save is invisible on screen — it shows up on the next e-mail. A language round-trip from a fresh session is enough to re-engrave the choice.

​
What surprises people

A card’s link always points at vinted.fr, including for a British item — Vinted’s listing numbering is worldwide, so the address “works” anyway. To see the listing as the seller published it, with its price in pounds and its English labels, replace vinted.fr with vinted.co.uk in the address bar.We have not measured exactly what Vinted does with a British listing number served on .fr — redirect, converted price or missing page. We would rather say so than assert it.
That is deliberate: the name of a language is always written in that language. Otherwise you cannot recognise it when you are lost in the other one — which is precisely the moment you go looking for that button.
It is never read aloud by a screen reader. A flag names a country, not a language: English does not belong to the United Kingdom.
In French “Royaume-Uni” files under R; in English “United Kingdom” files under U. An alphabetical list that is not alphabetical in the language you are reading is harder to read through than an unsorted one, because it promises an order it does not have. France stays at the top in both languages.
When a word has no English version, rega shows the French rather than a blank or a code. As a result you only notice by switching, on a screen you had not opened. If you come across French inside the English interface, that is a real defect — please report it.
rega is lenient when reading and strict when writing. A filter whose country has become unreadable is read back as France rather than vanishing; but trying to save a country that does not exist is refused outright: “That Vinted country is not available. Pick one from the list.” A made-up value accepted on write would later be read back as a choice — and would decide which account pays.
That is normal: country names and Vinted’s labels are fetched again in the new language. If a country name, a colour or a condition stays in the old language for more than a few seconds, that is not the expected behaviour — it is a defect worth reporting.

​
On a phone

rega's Filters screen on a phone

The Filters screen on a phone: the country markers stay legible on each filter's row.

Nothing is lost on a small screen, but two things change:
  • The language switch lives in Settings, and that is precisely because of phones. It used to sit in the header, where it disappeared below 430 px wide — which locked anyone working on a phone into the language of their last visit on a large screen. It now sits in Settings → Appearance, reachable everywhere.
  • The filter form stacks: the origin selector and the “Watching Vinted …” line end up one under the other rather than side by side. The line stays right below the chips — scroll down to it before saving; that is the gesture that avoids the most expensive mistake on this page.

​
What rega cannot do yet

We would rather write it down than let you discover it.
rega does observe each account’s country, and uses it to pick the payer. But no screen displays it. If the “No United Kingdom account is connected” warning persists after you have added a British account, the most likely cause is that it has not yet completed its first connection — but you cannot check that yourself today.
The server knows how to carry it; no screen sends it yet.
Only France (euro) and United Kingdom (pound) have been verified against real traffic. The other 24 are set from the country’s official currency. That is very probably right, but we will not write it down as a measurement until it is one — and we will check before opening a third shop.
Accounts from another country deliver to your existing French addresses. The only prerequisite for buying abroad is an account from that country, not an address over there.
The guard rail exists on the server but never reaches the screen. Nobody will stop you if a foreign filter brings back a country’s entire catalogue — it is up to you to bound it, first and foremost with a MIN PRICE (advice 8).
