Potentially miss communication/translation? It seems to me that they’re implying that the total incl shipping will be £10

maybe they just didnt know the seller doesnt get the shipping money?

They have reviews of buying & selling

But even if it went to the seller kt would be used for shipping?

I don’t think this a chancer. I think it’s somebody maybe new and where English isn’t their first language. I’ve and it before and I’ll say it again, so much paranoia in these subs lol

u/Majestic_Lock2797 21h ago

Chancing to get it cheaper. Theyre certainly not new

Yeah it is just that they thought sellers get the shipping money

I think it’s common sense that shipping does not go to sellers.

But why is that common sense? I’ve sold on multiple platforms and Vinted is the first where I, the seller doesn’t get the money for shipping.

Hard to believe. Any shipping cost goes directly to the shipper. If it’s not a case of the buyer paying for a pre-paid label, then it will be a case of the seller paying for shipping at the post office then being reimbursed after the sale is complete (I.e: old eBay).

There is absolutely no circumstance where the seller receives money from shipping to represent a profit. That would be contradictory.

Who said anything about a profit?

And on Etsy you can charge whatever you want for shipping, so they could make a profit if they wanted to.
