▶ How to know if I have been blocked on Wallapop

If you’re wondering whether you’ve been blocked on Wallapop, this guide will help clarify the situation. Blocking is a useful feature for dealing with users who violate rules, engage in scams, or persistently push sales. Here’s how you can find out:

Wallapop does not send notifications when a user blocks you. The simplest way to check is by observing the message status:

• If a gray double check appears, it means the message has been received, indicating you’re not blocked.
• If the double check is green, it signifies that the message has been read, providing further confirmation that you’re not blocked.

If only a gray check appears after sending a message, it means the message was sent but not received by the recipient. This could be due to a lack of internet connection or because you’ve been blocked. If the warning arrow remains unchanged after a while, it’s likely that you’ve been blocked.

How to Determine if You’ve Been Reported on Wallapop

It’s crucial to distinguish between being blocked and being reported. When a seller or buyer blocks you, it means they won’t receive your messages. However, if you’ve been reported, it means someone has flagged an issue with your user account for Wallapop to review in accordance with the app’s policies.

Even if someone blocks you on Wallapop, you can still use your account to communicate with others and sell items.

If you’re reported and Wallapop finds you in violation of their rules, they may deactivate your account or remove items that breach the app’s policies.

Unfortunately, complaints are anonymous, meaning there’s no way to know if you’ve been reported, let alone who reported you to Wallapop. The only way to find out is if the app notifies you about a report and the subsequent actions they’ll take. Wallapop will not disclose the user who reported you.

Can a Blocked User View My Products on Wallapop?

Blocking someone on Wallapop prevents them from sending you messages, but they can still view and interact with the products you’ve listed on your profile. They can read descriptions, view images, share posts, and save items as favorites.

Keep in mind that if you unblock a user after a period of blocking, any messages sent during the block will not reach you.

Deactivation of Wallapop Accounts

If your Wallapop account has been deactivated, it’s likely due to a violation of the application’s policies. Common offenses that lead to account deactivation include:

• Listing prohibited items (such as animals, weapons, sex toys, concert or show tickets, electronic cigarettes, etc.).
• Excessive posting of ads.
• Repeatedly publishing the same ad.
• Plagiarizing listings or using images from other sellers.
• Attempting to scam buyers.

In some cases, Wallapop may temporarily deactivate accounts, typically for a period like 30 days.

It’s also possible that Wallapop might not completely deactivate your account, but they could restrict certain functions within the app, like publishing items on your profile.
