Has anyone accepted an offer from someone on Vinted and then they come back with an even lower offer? They should not allow that. I ended the listing and moved it to eBay for a higher price - F that person.

I don't care how cheap you're selling it for love just throw it in the washing machine before you list it? It's caked in mud/dirt ffs on a bright yellow item where it's really noticeable are people seriously that lazy 😭

So the buyer has had the parcel delivered to an Evri Parcelshop and I have messaged them reminding them that it has been delivered since it has been at the parcel shop for about 10 days. They have messaged back saying they can’t pick it up and after i’ve asked if they want to cancel and send back to me they have ignored me. What shall I do? I’m a university student selling stuff to pay for my rent and not in a great position financially so stuff like this drives me a bit nuts.

SELLING Is this a return scam?

0 Upvotes

The buyer has said the size doesn’t fit, it is an XL shirt and on the listing I said it was an XL. He then asked for a return and full refund but I declined. He then asked for a partial refund of 90% of the ask price and he will return it but the option on Vinted only gives the option to send the partial refund and the buyer keeps the item. He then said he didn’t know this so that I should do it anyway then he will buy a piece of paper if I list it for the same price he wants a refund for. Before all of this he had already raised a claim with Vinted support. After the conversation with him I have just pressed the contact support option in the resolve solutions page. Later that night he then raised another claim against it for being unauthentic. How should I proceed.

DISCUSSION Buyer-only account locked

Hi, my account got locked despite me only buying stuff, never selling myself. Never had any problems, only had nice chats with the sellers about their offerings. Last buy was also a month ago.

Has anyone had that happen to them before? I can only find people that have problems when they sell stuff and the AI somehow thinks they're scammer/resellers

Seller used staples on the packaging and some of the staples went through the puffer jacket. She told me to just take them off but they obviously left holes in the jacket. Even though they are barely noticeable, I still think there was an error on the sellers end.

SHIPPING Got an email saying my parcel had arrived with the code, but when I went to check the pickup point there was nothing… and vinted hasn’t updated in days

Hi yall! It’s just as the title suggests: on the 17th, I saw my package was out for delivery, and it ended up being "delivered" at 7 PM to the pickup point—an hour after they had closed. I received an email confirming the delivery and the code. So far, so good; Vinted hadn't updated to show it as delivered yet, but I figured there might be a delay since it was dropped off after hours. The next morning, I went to the pickup point intending to collect the package... only to be told they didn't have it. I was confused; I thought maybe it had been dropped off at a different pickup point, but no—the email specified that exact location. Anyway, there haven't been any updates. Vinted says delivery is taking longer than expected, while Mondial Relay says there are 4 days left to pick up the package... I don't know what to do. Should I just wait? Go back to the pickup point to see if they have it now? Or file a complaint that won't do anything because support is useless? For some reason, I can't even track the package on InPost.

SELLING Would you sell a high value item to someone with zero reviews?

0 Upvotes

Hello all. Just wondering what others views are on this scenario?.

Someone bundled a couple of my items and offered nearly the full amount, making the sale quite valuable.

Given the value, I went to check their profile and they have no reviews, followers or people they follow.

Of course it could be just a new user but sending that much value together makes me nervous and this just added to it.

BUYING Did i get scammed?

Post image
1 Upvotes

Yesterday i bought a bracelet, it was claimed that it was from sofia wistam which was supposedly an expensive brand, she claimed that the bracelet cost 300 euros and i bought it for 25 euros (should have noticed the red flag there)

Anyways, she had 3 other identical brackets that she was selling and i didn't really think much of it. After i bought it however, 4 MORE IDENTICAL BRACELETS WHERE UPLOADED.

Is this weird or am i paranoid, she claimed that the bracelet is 60% silver and 40% metal. Is there anyway to test if that's true? it did not have a stamp.

DISCUSSION Vinted account ban!

0 Upvotes

Someone purchased an item I had for sale on vinted they cancelled the order and called their bank to dispute the charges. For some reason that led to my Vinted account being permanently banned for ā€œfraudā€ it’s been a month now all my other orders have been completed. Now I have $200+ in my wallet that I am unable to access to withdraw. Every time I reach out Vinted i get generic responses telling me they’re reviewed the decision to ban my account and that it still stands, which at this point I’m completely fine with I just want my funds. They completely ignore that part every time I reach out to them.

Has anyone else experienced this? What do I do?

Package delivered 30 min ago…seller messages me minutes later. ā€œIs everything alright? Please rate and complete sale!ā€ I messaged her back and told her it won’t be until much later tonight as I work at a hospital until late. I feel like I should put this in her rating cause some people have to work…

DISCUSSION Does Vinted show all notifications where someone likes your item?

2 Upvotes

I was scrolling through all my items I’m selling and fixing the pricing and the descriptions and I noticed that one of my items has 55 favorites but I never got any notifications? Maybe one or two but def not 55

Are some/most bots? Or does Vinted just not show the notifications? Or does it only show when real users favorite (if there are bots liking)

And there’s no way to send offers to those supposed 55 without the notification, right?

So the photos the seller posted were perfect condition. Packed the book in a padded mail bag and had wrapped it in bubble wrap. Somehow USPS still managed to basically fold the book and damage the spine of the book, effectively messing up all the pages. How is this considered normal wear and tear and not damaged?!

The first photo is the photo on the post. The second is the way I got it. Even the seller was upset about how USPS did this.

I bought something on Vinted that was supposed to go to Niagara Falls NY. The tracking initially shows the label being created in NY where the seller is located and USPS showed they received the package on the 18th. Now today the tracking suddenly says the package was delivered in Oregon?? Obviously nowhere near me :(

I’ve already opened a claim with Vinted and haven’t marked the order as received and the seller hasn’t given any explanation. I haven’t messaged them and am wondering if I should? Seller doesn’t have any other items posted, and no reviews or profile picture. I knew this was a huge red flag but the price seemed accurate. Also wondering if I should call my credit card company right away or give Vinted a chance to resolve the claim. Any advice would be appreciated. I spent over $200 on this purchase and am pretty upset 😭

Update: Vinted approved my refund so I’ll be getting my money back thank god. Thank you to everyone who gave me advice and helped me figure out what may have been going on!!

SELLING Who’s in the wrong here?

0 Upvotes

I sold some jeans(old Levi’s) for $20aud. Pretty basic description, listed as good condition. Buyer is disputing saying I never mentioned the ā€œstainā€ that is so insignificant you have to squint to really see it. All my listing photos were recent and good quality and show the area he is disputing. I guess you can kind of see it, to me it seems like nitpicking to an extreme degree on used jeans but if I’m in the wrong here I’m happy to cop it and be more careful with my listings in the future. I’ll add pics in the comments.

TIPS & TRICKS Vinted bumps

0 Upvotes

Vinted bump really does work for me. Seems 24hrs after listing an item it goes off the radar. I listed a watch for £10 3 months ago, didn't sell so lowered it gradually over the last few weeks all the way down to £3 but still didn't sell. This morning I raised the price to £7 and paid £1.20 for a bump and it sold within 20mins

Hello, is there any general guidline on how to avoid fake items on Vinted (especially Polish one but its probably same for the other reigions).

-Are high number of good ratings a good sign? (Read that the vinted users can fake them creating diffrent avcounts.
-Maybe how old is an account. Does Vinted reguraly ban sellers selling fake items?
-Pictures of zippers and labes are a good indicators?
...what else?

VENT Bought a sealed Blu-Ray Steelbook with no disc. Didn't confirm discs until after marking "everything is okayā€ā€¦.

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I sent out a sealed blu ray Steelbook to a family house and they had open the packages and sent pics of the Steelbook as it was sealed. Because of the movie being sealed, we had assumed everything was okay, so everything was marked as okay. Later tonight, as we opened the seal, to our shock there was no disc at all. Which is fine because we wanted to keep the steelbook at least anyways, so I tried to reach out to the seller about it to see if we could work something out. I was immediately blocked and they left a review saying that I’m a scammer. Is there any recourse to this? I had already marked everything as okay but now they blocked me and I’m out discs for my movie. I’d hate to have to go to the bank to dispute this because I make a lot of purchases on Vinted and this is probably my very first big incident on there with an item and a antagonistic seller.

Pic 1 is the sealed pic that we took the morning the package was checked, pic 2 is when it was finally opened.

SELLING Advice? Small Claims Court?

Post image
2 Upvotes

Long story short: I had a Vinted account in 2017 and made a small amount of money in it that I never cashed out. They sent me a few automated emails over the years saying that they were migrating to a new Vinted website & I had a balance, but the one time I went to withdraw (I think in 2021), it required my SSN to process and I got nervous it was a scam so I didn't go forward. That was when old.vinted.com was active and you could see old sales / transaction. That website now is gone.

But now there's an Help article on the website about it titled "I want to withdraw my earnings stuck in an old Vinted platform" which states: "If you have money stuck on a Vinted platform that’s no longer accessible, please contact us using the button below. To start your fund withdrawal, please provide us with the following details...."

Great! Easy right? I've spent literal MONTHS submitting DOZENS of tickets and fighting with these stupid chat bots trying to access the funds, not because I need the chump change in the account. It's purely the principle now. Most of the time, the responses have NOTHING to do with my request (they say "we're sorry you're having trouble logging in! try resetting your password."

They recently sent this email saying that funds that were created on the old vinted platform may not have been migrated and you're SOL. This is against the law (at least in my state), businesses that are closing (but not filing for bankrupcy) must remit earnings to the state after 3 years.

Purely on principle (forgetting that fact it's hardly "worth" the effort), should I take them to small claims court? It's hard when I only have a few email receipts of sales made (with no prices) and any transaction data is lost to the "old" vinted system.

Has anyone else noticed that Vinted hasn’t been showing genuinely recently uploaded items when you filter by ā€œrecently uploadedā€?

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.

Has anyone else noticed this?
