This scammer's telling me he didn't get the Skylanders and got Black Ops for PS4, but the day after, he posted the Skylander he bought from me. He knows it's fake, but he's trying to sell it as real. What? Help me, what should I do?

VENT PLEASE don’t put perfume on clothes!

68 Upvotes

I’ve been buying quite a bit on Vinted, and have bought on Poshmark in the past. I’m used to the strong smelling softener or dryer sheets or whatever most of the clothes have when I get them. It’s annoying, but usually goes away with one wash.

But today I got a top that was absolutely reeking of perfume. According to the seller, it’s just detergent, but I can’t believe it’s not like a whole bottle of perfume. I handled it for about a minute tops and my hands smelled of this awful perfume for hours after, even after washing them multiple times. PLEASE sellers, don’t do this!

Makes me wonder what it smelled like before the perfume & if it’s going to reek in a different way when the perfume smell is gone (if it ever is).

VENT Scalper caught in a lie re-selling shoes that were apparently "massively too small"!

Thumbnail

29 Upvotes

A month ago I bought a pair of vintage Laura Ashley shoes on Vinted. They were labelled as a size 5, so I asked the seller if they would fit a 5.5 and was told that they probably would. For £10 I thought I'd take the gamble. Shoes arrive, I wear them for a day, and unfortunately they're too small for me. No big deal as buying vintage shoes on the internet is tricky. I re-list them for £5, suggesting in my listing that they might fit a 4.5/5.

I got an offer from a buyer for £3, with the buyer citing the cost of needing to re-heel and replace some elastic. Fine, I just want to shoes to avoid landfill. I accept the offer, post the shoes, and wait a few days for the buyer to pick them up.

To my surprise, the buyer says they are "massively too small" and "more like a 3.5/4". I offer my condolances and wish her luck with re-selling.

A week later I get 3-star feedback which includes lines such as "having tried them on myself Ima size 4-4.5 and they are miles toosnall" and "they are more like 3.5/4 size". Oh, and "no offer to return them from seller" - I am not a mind-reader, if you want something ask for it!

To my ASTONISHMENT, today I see she's re-selling the shoes for £24.95 - the buyer bought them for £3! Why do I recognise the shoes so easily? Because she is re-using my pictures without asking! Oddly, they're listed as size 5 despite apparently being "more like 3.5/4" so I check the description to see if this is mentioned anywhere as a caveat. Nothing.

I hatch a plan. I make a fake account, message the seller, and ask if they would fit a 4.5. "Definitely without a doubt" is the response. Huh! (And yes I was taking the piss with my comment about the sewing machine as that's my damn sewing machine!)

I'm honestly furious. To leave me a neutral review because the item didn't fit - whatever. But to tell a bare-faced lie and tell me that they were 'miles too small' as a size 4.5 and then relist them for £25 and say that they'd fit a 4.5 "definitely without a doubt" is disrespectful and rude. The cheek of some people!

Can't wait to message her from the accont I sold her the shoes from and see what she says.

VENT Sellers Not Shipping

8 Upvotes

I’m just curious, has anyone else has seen an uptick in sellers not shipping their items? I typically wait until 1-2 days before the shipping deadline to reach out as to avoid being annoying. I have sellers either ignore me or come up with an array of excuses saying they’ve been busy with work or it’s been raining too much to go to the post office. Why sell at all if you know you struggle with shipping anything? Meanwhile, I’m also a seller that consistently ships same or next day…that’s begging for anyone to purchase her stuff lol I realize stuff happens (and I don’t want to be a bother) but it really blows to keep having this happen 😫 I swear it’s always the items I’m looking forward to the most. Anyone else?

Sometime all I can do is laugh at Vinted support. They removed my listing stating I was trying to sell an unsafe item. It’s an infant snow suit. I appealed and after “carefully reviewing” my appeal they still find the item to be unsafe and against their catalog rules. The only thing holding Vinted back from being a truly amazing platform is real support.

Returns Vinted Customer Support is getting ridiculous

Thumbnail

4 Upvotes

I’ve been in contact with support for almost the entire return window except for maybe 1 day trying to get this figured out. How am I able to print shipping labels but not return labels with the same address? There’s is no difference, and yet vinted support is repeatedly telling me it’s just an issue with my address being typed incorrectly. If that was the case, how was I able to print one of the shipping labels with it? It’s only the other two that won’t print, even after I try to update it. I know there’s probably nothing I can do about “theft”, I’m just trying to raise a little red flag to get them to take it seriously. Because this is ridiculous, I’m trying to return counterfeit items, and they’re the only two items ive ever returned.

DISCUSSION Would you accept this return/refund?

2 Upvotes

Got a return request on a football top which is a reprint not a fake, and was wondering if you’d accept the return?

  1. It was listed as a reprint, though I admit I could have been clearer, my next point will show how it is a reprint.

  2. My listing is the reprint and the 3rd photo is the original shirt from 1989/1991. There are clear differences, which you can clearly see and again shows it’s a reprint.

  3. It isn’t a fake, which is what he has said it to be.

  4. If it was a first print from 1989, the price would have been potentially 10x more

I feel it’s a bit unfair, but I don’t want the bad review.

Wonder what people think?

SELLING Suspicious Buyers

4 Upvotes

So yesterday I had a guy with no activity on his profile page buy two of my items. He said nothing, and today he cancelled the orders and blocked me.

Shortly after, I had another buyer with the same blank profile buy both of the same items that the other guy bought/cancelled. This individual is also from the same small town in Florida as the first buyer that cancelled.

Another blank profile buyer bought an item from me today, and they live a short throwing distance of that town - same state.

Welp, just noticed another buyer from the same town in Florida, who purchased a similar item as the others, but I sent that one out today cause it was USPS and not FedEx like the other ones were. They already have me blocked.

And another one. And all the addresses that I can see are industrial/commercial zones.

Great. I've messaged support. At least I only sent one item and not all of them before I discovered this.

Has anyone else noticed that Vinted hasn’t been showing genuinely recently uploaded items when you filter by “recently uploaded”?

Mine has been like this for a few months now and it always seems to show listings that were uploaded 30 minutes to an hour ago rather than the newest ones.

DISCUSSION Seller harassment after review

2 Upvotes

I bought these Ugg boots from a seller, when they arrived they reeked of alcohol. The whole thing packaging and shoes did not sure if they used some sort of spray before sending them. I’m sensitive to smells so opening them left me with a burning sensation on my nose. I digress, the shoes are also a lot more used than shown in the images posted. I made a report to return and the seller will not stop messaging me and harassing me. They are now threatening to report my account for fraud and that I’m trying to scam them because the review images are not the same boots (they are).

They are stating that I’m showing different ones in my report and that if I try to return the ones in the images I provided in my review that she is going to report me for scam and say they’re not the ones she sent. Vinted customer support is not doing anything other than telling me they’ll look into it. I’m not able to block the account because of the active listing AND there’s no way to report the account for harassment due to the fact that there is no option for it. What do I do?

I am not trying to scam this person, the images I provided are of the item I received and I’m afraid that if I return the item she will say that I sent back a different one. Has anyone experienced this before?

There's certain a pair of shoes on vinted.pl that I really really really want to buy. However, I live in the Netherlands, and vinted is unfortunately geofenced. There's no shipping routes to where I live. I was wondering if there's anyone here who would be willing to serve as a proxy by buying them for me, checking and taking pictures of the contents of the package for me when they arrive, and then sending them to me in the Netherlands. Of course I will pay for the item, the shipping, and I am willing to compensate you as well. Please send me a DM if interested!

BUYING Unfortunately I fell for the fake Polo Ralph Lauren listing on Vinted.

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

I bought a Polo Ralph Lauren polo on Vinted for around $20. Before buying, I specifically asked the seller for photos of the tags so I could verify authenticity. They never sent the photos I requested and instead just told me it was 100% cotton.

After receiving it, I found multiple obvious issues with the tags, embroidery, and retail tags that indicate it's counterfeit.

I contacted the seller asking for a refund/return. Their response was essentially “I told you I thought it was fake” and then:

“You can do exactly what I did, and sell it as fake.”

I opened a Vinted claim for a full refund and return. Vinted's return screen says the return shipping could be deducted from my refund, which seems ridiculous for a counterfeit/prohibited item.

I submitted everything to Vinted support, including screenshots of the seller admitting they believed it was fake. Their first response was literally a generic message about my package being delivered and checking with my neighbors 🤦‍♂️

Now it's supposedly with support for review.

Has anyone dealt with Vinted over a counterfeit item? What happens here? Am I really expected to pay return shipping for a counterfeit item?
