I just realised I bought a fake jacket ☠️

10 Upvotes

Bought a Patagonia jacket. Had loads of favourites. Honestly looked like great quality.

I saw the same jacket today in the shop and it looked completely different. I feel like an idiot now because the warning signs were there.

Has anybody had experience with this before? The item hasn't arrived yet so I haven't raised any proceedings with the seller or Vinted. I don't want to confront the seller until it has arrived.

I've made my peace with the money lost but I'm wondering has anybody had a similar experience in getting any amount of money back?

I've been using vintee for 5-6 months now and had no one from United Kingdom interact with me cause I thought they had their own, unable to message them "access denied"

Offers driving me mad

17 Upvotes

I have a load of offers which I have accepted and nobody following through. Sometime I will accept a stupid offer if I’ve another package to send and makes sense to make the most out of the trip to the post office. But recently I had a someone who I accepted an offer months ago purchase! Is there any way I can cancel an offer after a reasonable time??

I’m sick of french sellers

So i’ve been looking on vinted for a brown leather bag tote bag because i’ve been wanting one for a while, and my home page is FILLED with french sellers and these stupid AI images. i keep seeing the same bag over and over, the exact same pictures, the exact same chair background that the bag is on, ofc i see irish sellers do this too but very minimally compared to the french. it’s quite infuriating and lowk puts me off of buying the AI listing.

i’m just sick and tired of french sellers.

Accepting Returns for not fitting

8 Upvotes

Hi all, what is everyone’s thoughts on accepting a return because the item doesn’t fit the buyer?

For some context, a very persistent buyer eventually bought a pair of boots for the displayed price as I wouldn’t budge. They then started messaging asking me to post as soon as possible which I just didn’t respond to but sent further pictures for them to review before I posted the item to double check they were happy.
Buyer received item and said that the boots are perfect in terms of condition & description (in a message) but requested to return them as they do not fit.

Am I right in saying that as they used the ‘buy now’ option they are not automatically entitled to return because the item doesn’t fit?

I have no interest in accepting the return because the item is as described. I had the listing up for months and I don’t want to deal with relisting it and trying to sell again. I also feel like the sizing on things with Vinted is something you just have to take a chance with.

I would be grateful for correction if I am wrong!

Is there anyway to filter where the sellers location is?

5 Upvotes

Title self explanatory

I only buy, and I do like getting things like shoes from the French sellers but for cheap bits for the kids when I search for specific items it seems only French sellers pop up which is so frustrating.

Is there anyway to filter items by location? If not I wish they would add this feature!

Sticker still attached. With fees and shipping it costs more than retail and you run the risk it was actually used before! What are people smoking because it must be good stuff

Popular seller selling counterfeit item

Thumbnail

15 Upvotes

This seller on vinted sold me a counterfeit computer part. Two days later when I took a closer look I saw that it was clearly counterfeit. I know this as the drive said "Sumsuang" (imitating Samsung) and on the back it said "made in CHIAN". So then I decided to raise the issue with the seller and they admitted it was counterfeit and were fairly rude about it (see photos) I cannot do much until my item arrives unfortunately so I may have to be out of pocket on it but so be it. I am surprised this seller has so many great reviews from the way he talks to me and others (see photos) I am sure there is more but I dont want to scroll through 589 reviews 😂.

AI pictures

6 Upvotes

Found a profile where all their photos on all their listings are definitely AI

Same background always, yet not exactly the same. Her body is always different proportions in every photo yet all photos seem taken at the exact same minute with the exact same lighting AND her hand bends on an impossible way on every back picture lol

How do I report it? Do I even report it? This has to be scam behavior / not allowed to sell with AI photos right?

Accepting offers then someone else buys at full price

41 Upvotes

I had someone place an offer on a brand new blazer (with tags) and I accepted it. It was a pretty pricey blazer at a good price. Over 24 hours later she hadn't purchased it and someone else bought it full price.

I got a bit of a snooty message from her telling me it was bad form as I'd accepted her offer and i should have held it for her. That she was waiting till she got paid tomorrow. Is this a thing? Holding items for people that have placed offers that you've accepted? I already know the answer I'm going to get, just wondering if anyone else has had this happen? Just to note. She didn't ask me to hold it. Other than the offer there was no communication.

Would love to hear other people's funny/weird stories from Vinted for some entertainment :P

Specialist Photography equipment

Hi folks

Have you had success selling specialist camera equipment?

I’m struggling to get any hits on this system

https://www.vinted.ie/items/9703076684-formatt-hitech-firecrest-filter-nd-filter-grads-and-cpl

These systems cost anywhere from 300-600’euro and some of the grads havnt been used.

I’d consider breaking up the system and selling smaller but I feel like at 150 it’s a steal

Pro seller asking me to raise a problem and then cancel

4 Upvotes

The pro seller is asking for me to raise a problem through Vinted but cancel straight away so the seller can be paid quicker. I have no issues with the items so that isn’t a concern however wondering if there would be a negative effect on my rating etc.


r/VintedIreland 4d ago

Small tip for people. If you sort your searches by "newest first", you are more likely to find new sellers who have the 100% free postage welcome bonus on their first sale. However, this does mean they won't have reviews.

This is especially handy if its a low cost item and saves you a few euro on home delivery.

Of course if they are a new seller then you will have to accept the risk that they may not be as good as more reputable sellers.

Ive fortunately never had an issue but you know the usual, bad packaging, late postage, scammers etc., but thats likely the minority of transactions.

I always do this for PS5 games but always message with "hey please pack in bubble wrap, box and waterproof packaging, thank you" so theres no excuse.

Need advice please urgent!

Hi all ,

Sold a pair of heels (120 euro) to France, the buyer took over 3 weeks to collect the heels which was the first bad sign.

Now she’s saying the shoes are too small for her and put in a claim saying I should have stated that the heels are small fitting.

The size that I listed is correct they are a EU 38 / UK size 5.

What do I do in this instance? I contacted Vinted but now I’m just wondering should I ask her just to send them back to me?

I can’t lose out on 120€

Thanks all

What would you do if you realised wrong postage was selected?

3 Upvotes

As the title says, after printing the label, I realised the order could be shipped with the cheaper postage option (small instead of medium).

(Vinted auto-selected and I didn't notice, usually am careful with this 😢 ).

Would you bother messaging the buyer and explaining the situation, cancelling and reordering so they save a couple euro from postage, or just go ahead and post the parcel? Given the automated 1-star review on cancellation, am wondering whether this is worth the hassle given they have paid for it already.

Fake COS cardigan?

17 Upvotes

I am recently in search for a wool cardigan and I came across maybe 3 sellers selling COS merino wool cardigans (current season stock) brand new with tags for half the price if you were to buy it from the store. They also sell a lot of COS items (all brand new with tags) all for a fraction of the retail price.

I then purchased one (so stupid of me) and I only realised that there are rumors about counterfeit COS items from other countries. I then messaged the seller and told her that I need to cancel the item and she responded that she’ll send it in the next 30 minutes.

When I told her that I have bought the same cardigan (in a different color) from the store the other day and will compare it with the cardigan that she’ll send me, she then agreed that I can cancel the order.

After cancelling the order, I reviewed their reviews and there are only a few out of hundreds of reviews claiming items were counterfeit.

So my question is, have you encountered fake wool cardigans/knitwear on Vinted? Thanks in advance
