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…
I get that a lot with all kinds of services. Specially digital stuff. And for MMOs it is more common than not.
Recently the Path of Exile game stopped letting me purchase cosmetics because they changed their payment processor and the new one doesn’t like my email address.
Sucks to see something go this way. Recently I was forced to flash stock ROM on an older phone to be able to use revolut, because they cracked down on custom firmwares…
