Automatic account switcher

How Off, Safe, and Forceful manage purchase accounts for Autobuy, Autocop, and Multicop.

Written by Souk

The Automatic account switcher rotates your linked Vinted purchase accounts for future purchase attempts.

It is available to Souk Turbo and Business users. Turbo users can enable Multicop with up to 3 active purchase accounts at a time. Business accounts use their configured limit, which is 5 by default.

What the switcher controls

The switcher only manages which linked Vinted account is selected for purchases. It does not change your alerts, keywords, feed, prices, or other purchase settings.

An account can be used as a replacement when it is:

  • linked and active

  • not paused, blocked, or banned

  • connected with a valid Vinted session

  • configured with the purchase email and shipping address Souk needs

You need at least 2 linked accounts to select Safe or Forceful. For a switch to happen, at least one eligible spare account must be available outside the relevant purchase pool.

When several replacements are available, Souk first prefers an account from the same Vinted market, then the eligible account used least recently.

Available modes

Off

No automatic replacement. Souk keeps your current purchase account selection until you change it manually.

Safe

Proactive rotation. When a purchase attempt begins, Souk prepares an eligible spare account to replace the account used for future attempts.

The attempt already in progress continues with the account that started it. Safe changes the selection for the next attempts; it does not restart or transfer the current purchase.

Forceful

Rotation only when needed. Souk keeps the current selection stable and replaces an account only after it becomes unusable—for example, after a block, ban, or critical purchase-account issue.

With Multicop

Multicop must be enabled separately. When it is on, Souk can try a purchase in parallel with the accounts selected in the Multicop pool.

  • Off: Souk uses the Multicop selection as-is and does not add a replacement automatically.

  • Safe: Souk manages the Multicop pool automatically. After an active account starts a purchase attempt, Souk can replace it with an eligible inactive account for future attempts.

  • Forceful: Souk keeps the Multicop pool stable and replaces an active account only when it becomes unusable.

Safe needs an eligible account outside the active pool. If every eligible account is already active, or no eligible spare exists, the pool cannot rotate.

Without Multicop

Souk uses one active purchase account.

  • Safe: after that account starts a purchase attempt, Souk can select an eligible spare for future attempts.

  • Forceful: Souk keeps the active account until it becomes unusable, then selects an eligible spare if one exists.

Autobuy and Autocop

Autocop follows the active purchase-account pool and the selected switcher mode.

When Multicop is enabled and the switcher is not Off, Autobuy has two options:

  • Fixed selection: Autobuy uses only the accounts you select manually. The switcher does not choose replacement accounts for Autobuy.

  • Follow switcher: Autobuy follows the selected Safe or Forceful behavior.

Which mode should you choose?

  • Choose Off if you want to manage every purchase-account change manually.

  • Choose Safe if you want accounts to rotate proactively after they are used.

  • Choose Forceful if you want to keep the current selection stable and replace accounts only when necessary.

Important limitations

  • If no eligible spare account is available, Souk cannot rotate automatically.

  • Account rotation does not guarantee a successful purchase and cannot guarantee that Vinted will not restrict an account.

  • Autocop, Multicop, and the account switcher are separate settings and must each be configured for the behavior you want.
