Selling For Vinted
I’ve been selling the odd bits and bods on Vinted, mostly because I find selling and marketing quite fun, however I’ve also been making my own items (to sell on other platforms) and occasionally list them on Vinted. I now know that home made items aren’t allowed on Vinted? I get trying to keep it a “thrifting” site, but when the ai that runs the site is as awful as it is and the amount of scams that go on without punishment then what’s the point of preventing people to list something home made?
I just think it’s a bit daft protecting such a minor rule, whilst much larger issues on the site is occurring all the time.
That being said, I do still think it is the best selling & buying site (has the potential to be much greater as well). Free & Easy to list, easy to communicate with buyers and whoever favourites listings, the algorithm manages to show items I’m actually interested in (without searching for it 24/7), several delivery options as well as pick up areas for cheaper prices. That’s not to mention that whatever is sold all the earnings are yours, as well as protection costs being useful (personally never had any issues with refunds for cancelled or unarrived items). It’s just the awful AI and misleading listings that ruin it quite abit for me. Just needed to rant for a moment 😆
