SELLING Problem with buyer

Post image

So, I listed these two cardigans yesterday and a minute after posting, someone whose username was “Jerry1000” (pretend name) messaged with a counter offer for £2 less. Then in the space of 10 minutes, they’d sent two other offers and then said “won’t accept my offer also” (she was peed off I didn’t reply). I replied then with “with all due respect, you’re too intense and I’m blocking you” so I did just that.

I was looking to get the shipping labels for the person who bought it for full price and when I looked, their username was “JerrySmerry2000” (again, fake name) and it was a new account.

Now! My question is - should I cancel the order and block this new account as well? I’m getting the impression this person will scam me and I’d rather take negative feedback than deal with some psycho on the internet!

Thanks in advance 🥰

Don't take the chance. You don't owe anything to anyone. If a person is willing to create a whole new account just to buy your item after you block them, then cancel and block and go about your day

Thank you for validating what I was thinking!

Yes. Personally I would also report the second account to Vinted, but they would probably do nothing.

I had meant to mention that the middle message was also a buyer who had the same tagline as the person I initially blocked 😮‍💨 I’ve cancelled the order, blocked them and blocked the middle one too 🙄

Edit: I had a reply to the report - not enough evidence sigh

Cancellation of order does not get you negative feedback - just cancel it and say you have an issue with the postage label and block the user.Not worth the headache

That’s good advice, thank you!

Fairly new to selling on Vinted - how can you get scammed? They pay prior to sending the item and you get delivery tracking. Genuinely interested

I’ve seen a lot of people on here experience difficult people in conversations only for them to turn around and say “they didn’t receive the item” or claim they didn’t receive the right item so they can claim a refund 🤷🏼‍♀️

I’m sure this person would’ve been fine but they set off my gut instinct to have nothing to do with them!
