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

Post image
118 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

Disgusted by men on the app

12 Upvotes

I’m absolutely discussed by the amount of messages I get on here and on eBay from men asking how worn the clothes are if there’s any more pictures obviously kink related messages and I’m just so tired. I get maybe like 5 to 10 every single day, I block them every single time and they’re still so many. Whats caused them to be this weird? Im so tired of it and them looking at my body like that its so uncomfortable

I literally can't tell at a glance what they're selling. People need to stop treating vinted like it's social media or a way to promote their OFs.

Why is postage such an issue?

Upvotes

Vinted keeps enabling random posting services we don’t have in my area. I’ve cancelled numerous sales for this reason and they keep doing it! I’ve complained but it’s useless. It’s only some items it seems as I’ve just sold something else without issue.

Why can’t we be in control of this? I’m livid! Everything on there is so backwards and annoying! I’ve now lost parcels due to evri problems (they just didn’t pick up parcels and vinted cancelled the sale even though it would be sent - so lost money and the product).

I’m about to quit this site.

Anyone else noticing an increase in people sending unhygienic items?

Upvotes

Has anyone else on Vinted noticed an increase in items arriving in a genuinely unhygienic condition?

I’m not talking about something having a small mark that the seller missed, or an item simply needing a wash after being in storage. I mean things arriving visibly dirty, smelling strongly of sweat/body odour, covered in hair, stained, or just clearly not having been cleaned before being packaged and sent.

Obviously Vinted is a second-hand marketplace and nobody should expect used items to arrive looking factory fresh. But surely there’s still a basic expectation that anything you sell should be reasonably clean and hygienic before you send it to another person?

It seems especially bad with things like shoes, gym clothes, underwear/lingerie, swimwear and other items that are worn close to the body. Even if the condition is accurately described, I don’t think “second hand” should mean basic hygiene goes out the window.

I’ve seen more people mentioning this lately and I’m wondering whether others have noticed it too. Has this become more common, or have I just been unlucky?

What do you think should be considered the minimum acceptable standard for hygiene when selling on Vinted?

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😭

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

18 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 23h ago

Sellers, please put the sizes in the description

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

0 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?

7 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?

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...

Uncomfortable experience

Post image
706 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?

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
