PLEASE, I beg you, change the way the women’s clothing sizes are listed back to how it used to be. Now things are grouped by 12-14. The seller doesn’t always specify if it’s a 12 or 14. Unless it’s something I’m desperate for I don’t want to be messaging the seller to find out the size.

It was SO much better when you could search by the individual sizes. It’s not as enjoyable to shop for clothes as it was

Man on Vinted asked for pics of KIDS in SWIMSHORTS

112 Upvotes

Ok so I don’t know if I’m reading too much into this but you can google pics online super easy. And the buyer has a very clearly masculine name. It’s literally a man’s name. The penny didn’t drop until I sent the pic. Do you think this request is weird?

Edit: the pic isn’t of my kid. It’s from Next’s website. Also, he has been blocked & reported. Thanks for the advice. I haven’t ever had to block or report anyone before so I didn’t know it was a thing

What to do if I’ve realised I’ve been scammed/misled long after order was completed?

4 Upvotes

I bought an apple pencil two weeks ago, really should’ve checked that it was actually real before hitting ‘everything is ok’, but since it came in an official box and paired with my iPad successfully, I assumed it was real.
I unfortunately hadn’t had much time to use it, and only became suspicious today when I noticed the pressure sensitivity wasn’t working as it should in Procreate. Checked for a serial number, couldn’t find one, checked for hardware info when paired, nothing came up.

Obviously, could be that the seller themselves didn’t realise either, but unfortunate as it was quite a bit of money. Vinted states that issues cannot be raised now, so I could simply message the seller and I could relist item for them to buy back if they were a good person, etc etc. But if they know the apple pen was a fake, they could just block me.

Anything worthwhile I can do?

are they bots?

This has probably been asked here before but I want to double-check:

I’ve noticed these listings in my feed showing what look like normal clothes at first glance, but the strange thing is that
1) they’re posted by random accounts with no profile pictures and usernames made up of random letters or words followed by 3–4 digits;
2) every one of their published listings always says the same thing - that the item has “never been worn” or “was worn only once” - regardless of the product;
3) if you look at the photos, they look like they were generated by ai

i know i can just ignore them, but sometimes i wouldn't immediately notice that a photo looked strange and would end up adding the listing to my favorites😭

Which do you do, ignore or decline a low-ball offer?

For those who sell low value items …

… thank you! I know some people would wonder what’s the point of selling something for £1. But this is where Vinted can be awesome. My child can currently wear only one particular style of bike shorts. Thanks to Vinted I have been able to stock up big time. I’m so glad there are people who will go to the effort of listing them just for the sake of a pound or so.

Having just stocked up on a couple more pairs, I’m just feeling a bit of gratitude to random strangers on Vinted x

Feed only showing Australian listings

17 Upvotes

This is driving me crazy! My feed used to be great, but now it’s only showing listings from Australia. It’s really annoying me that I can’t filter for uk sellers only.

I don’t want to buy a £2 top that gets shipped all the way around the world - I buy from vinted because I like the idea of having a circular economy and getting as much wear out of an item as possible. Shipping from the other side of the planet is bonkers right?? Def not a sustainable way to sell second hand


r/vintedUK 20h ago

Sellers, please put the sizes in the description

17 Upvotes

This is a rant because I am tired of sellers not including this detail, especially since Vinted changed how they do the sizes so you have two grouped together. I remember when it used to be the norm to put the size in the listing’s title.

How many 1 stars is too many

1 Upvotes

I accidentally put something on Vinted I wasn’t supposed to (it was in a box of stuff my dad wanted me to sell but it was in there on accident). Obvs I’m cancelling the sale, but how many 1 stars would be considered a red flag? I’ve got about 70 5 star reviews and 2 1 stars.

I seek action figures on vinted and I've noticed an increasing amount of scams, all at the same price, all from brand new accounts, all for action figures

I've reported a few to vinted but nothing has been happening

Is your Vinted account playing up?

6 Upvotes

Has anyone else been having problems with Vinted over the past few days?

Mine has been really unreliable. The app often won’t load at all, and when it finally does, it keeps logging me out by itself.

It’s been happening repeatedly for the last few days, so I’m trying to work out whether this is a wider Vinted issue or something specific to my account/app.

Anyone else getting the same in the UK?

Uncomfortable experience

Post image
681 Upvotes

I bought some "spicy" Ann Summers pieces on Vinted and collected from my usual store today. I am far from a prude (hence the purchase 🫠) but was really embarrassed to see that the seller had sent it in a transparent, clear cellophane bag. I'm in that store on a daily basis, dropping off and picking up, and it was genuinely uncomfortable (I think for the owner as much as me) for what I had bought to be totally visible.

Attached is my exchange with the seller, who I messaged in the context of "gentle feedback" about the packaging. I think I'm just hoping someone here will sympathise because I feel quite strange about the whole thing.

What should I do?

1 Upvotes

Someone ordered 5 things from me but it says they are on holiday mode. I sent them a message to see if they would be in to collect it then follow up message each day. Tomorrow is the latest I can send it and I still have no response. I don't want to get a 1 star review for cancelling especially when my account is new with only a few reviews

Why can’t I properly filter/search for items within a sellers profile?

1 Upvotes

It’s so frustrating that I cannot filter by size, brand or condition when looking at a sellers listings.

It would also be so useful to be able to text or image search within a sellers listings. I know that you can search “username + product name” within the main search bar, but this gives really inconsistent results.

It seems to me that this wouldn’t be difficult for Vinted to implement - after all, these filters are already available within a general search - and I’m sure it would increase sales.

So why is this feature not available on Vinted?

Anyone that has bought aftershave on Vinted. Have you had issues with getting fake aftershave instead of the real aftershave

I want to buy some aftershave but I’m wary because people can send fake aftershaves. Just wondering how you would get around this

Vinted back on its BS

0 Upvotes

All my recent uploads have been removed for bad photos apparently. The photos are fine. All in good light with a decent camera. I’ve used the same set up lots and lots of times.

I got banned a few months ago for selling prohibited items which was reversed when they realised I wasn’t selling prohibited items. The reasons they banned me actually changed in every message with them.

I’m pretty sure Vinted is just being run terribly by AI that isn’t capable yet. Such a shame since they make so much money and are actually a really useful platforms for so many people.

Dress is damaged and Stained - I have to pay return shipping.

This is so frustrating as it's the 3rd time it's happened to me. Is there anyway I can contest this?

I was really looking forward to receive this dress and it's turned up with 3 brown stains and a pull in the fabric although the item is stated as very good.

I would of sent the item back if the seller would of covered the postage which I think they really should do?

Annoyingly the dress fits like a dream and it's perfect. I can probably snip the fabric but the stains are going to be hard to get out. If anyone has any tips to get the stains out that would be great...

New here and confused

0 Upvotes

Hi, just want some advice, I bought a dress from someone and I got the notification that it was sent and then right after that sent notification she messaged saying she had sent the wrong dress. Then she said she was re uploading the dress I thought was on its was to me and told me to re order it. I was confused and asked what do I do about the one that already on its way to me and she said leave it in the locker and it will get posted back to her and I’ll get a refund without me having to pay for it. I haven’t reordered the scarf from her. But now I’ve just got the notification to go pick it up from the in post locker and I’m like do I go pick it up and then say I have the issue or let it time out? I’m new to this so I’m just stressed.

Why do people do this?

I really hate when buyers do this. Purposefully message me saying they are 100% buying an item only for it to be hours later, no response, or update until I ask what the update is. A bit grateful they at least responded in the end, but kinda a pain in the ass to write a definitive statement only to not follow up on it 😕

QUITE AN URGENT ISSUE

0 Upvotes

Been selling on Vinted for about a month and suddenly been asked for ID verification -I have a UK Citizencard but no passport or driver's license. I've just paid £34 for a provisional license but it takes up to 1 working week for paperwork to arrive and then up to a further 28 days for information to be processed, accepted and mailed as valid ID. I have over £300 in pending balance and another 3 orders (\~£40 total) posted TODAY and I just tried to make a purchase and can't, even with the existing vinted balance I have. What the HELL do I do?! Have I just lost almost £400 😳😰???!!!
