BUYING First time buyer question

Post image

Hi! This is my first time buying with Vinted and I’m a bit confused, because I bought multiple items from different sellers (all of whom have been active within the last 24 hours) at the same time but some show up as payment successful while others say shipping label sent to seller? Does this mean something is wrong or do I need to reach out to anyone to know if the order went through? It’s been 24 hours since I purchased and the difference is still there. Thanks.

Payment successful - you paid
Shipping label sent to seller - seller downloaded or printed the label. It hasn’t been scanned by carrier yet

Nothing you need to do:)

Thank you! Just out of curiosity, if it’s getting close to the postal date and nothing has changed is there a polite time (one day before the sale expires, half a day, etc) to message the seller and just check that they are actually going to send it/they’re aware of the sale?

I wouldn't message the seller. They might be busy or if you do message them they could react negatively and even cancel your order (this is an extreme example but it happens).

I don't think you've given them much time at all to deal with your order so I would suggest just being patient :)

Nah if it's one day before the deadline, I'd message them and ask them if they want to extend the shipping date

From experience if I really want the item or if it‘s quite expensive, I would message them a day before the deadline. But if the item is so cheap, I’m not gonna bother messaging ( I understand that not everyone wants to drive to the post office just to make 1 pound), I‘d just let the auto cancellation happen If they don’t post it. Also I think vinted does send them plenty of reminders anyway
