Summary of "Что с Авито? Новая Схема обмана | Скам РЖД | Доставка от 200 кг работает?"

The video, presented by Victor Malyshev, covers recent updates and developments on Avito, a popular Russian online marketplace, highlighting new features, policy changes, and potential risks for users.

Key points include:

Launch of UCENK Section (Markdown): Avito introduced a new dedicated section featuring around 50,000 discounted products from major retailers like Nvidia, CLink, and Limana Pro. Items include electronics, household appliances, clothing, and more, with discounts up to 70%. All products come with official guarantees and return options within 7-14 days. This marks a shift as Avito expands from individual sellers to include larger companies, aiming to leverage its reputation for low prices.
Delivery Improvements: Ads offering delivery options get significantly more views and inquiries, doubling the likelihood of sales. In July, Avito launched a service for delivering large goods up to 200 kg, benefiting sellers of bulky items like furniture and appliances. However, this also raises concerns about potential scams, such as fake listings for expensive items to exploit buyers.
Stricter Moderation of Russian Railways Tickets: Since July 16, Avito blocks all ads related to the sale or re-registration of Russian Railways Tickets at the preliminary moderation stage to combat scalpers and bot-driven resale schemes.
Try-On Service for Clothing and Shoes: Starting August 4, buyers can try on clothes, shoes, and accessories at Avito delivery points across Russia before purchase. While this eases transactions for buyers, it may increase returns, potentially complicating sales for clothing and shoe sellers.
New Categories Added: In 2025, Avito added health-related services (licensed medical, dentistry, ophthalmology) and beauty services (manicure, haircuts, etc.) with required official verification. This formalizes previously unregulated service categories but also opens the door to potential illegal account sales at high prices.
Enhanced Bulk Posting and Editing Tools: Avito improved mass ad uploading and editing capabilities, including Excel integration and CRM compatibility, error checking, and better stock management. This may impact third-party auto-upload services, as Avito now offers these features natively.
Updated Ad Ranking Algorithm: The platform now factors in city-specific location accuracy, seller activity, responsiveness, ad updates, and reviews to rank ads. Changes in algorithm weightings can affect ad visibility, requiring sellers to adapt their listings accordingly.
Introduction of Media Advertising: Avito launched media advertising options targeting large brands and companies, including banks and service providers, though these banner ads are less relevant for small and medium businesses.
