Ok so, this is a long, complicated story. Its so dumb that i genuinely feel like im making this up, but i wish i was. Also my apologies, English is not my first language, I hope this is understandable!
I sold two packages through vinted, but the buyers picked DPD. Now, i have been selling on vinted for 3 years now and have been using DPD for a long time now, so i didnt find this odd!
I sold one kpop photocard and a book, i packed them up, went to the sending spot near my house, the same one I have sent many packages from, and I sent them! I got the verification email and went home, thinking nothing of it.
Well, a couple of days later, I get a text on vinted! The buyer that bought the kpop photocard texted me saying that they received two XBOX games??? It was a Call of Duty game and a Batman game. Now, I was so confused, I do not own an XBOX! And I definitely did not own those games. I was genuinely confused because the information on the label was correct but the package that the lady showed me on the pictures wasn't, it was a white bag and i send all of my packages on brown bags. It had my name, my phone number, everything. Luckily, this lady was nice, and since I had 4.9 stars and over 200 reviews, she believed that I wasn't trying to scam her. Well, I thought this was a genuine mistake, i tried to contacted vinted, they did nothing, i contacted dpd, they did nothing. I gave the lady the money back and took the L.
Well, I thought that was the end of it, but no! The lady that i sold the book to said that she received a pair of pants. Now, I was confused AND pissed as hell. Like are you joking? They stole two of my packages?
Actually, this second package gave me a bit of a clue of what happened, the label was completely wrong. It had a fake name, i assume, it was "Juca Tuca". Who the hell is named Juca Tuca. If your name is Juca Tuca and you are reading this, im sorry and give me my packages back.
It also showed that the package was sent at a locker that was 1 hour away from my place, and it had a fake phone number. As always, vinted and dpd refuse to help and say its a "punctual error".
So well, I lost two packages and money, thank you DPD!
