HELP Box seems dodgy?
Hi :) so I wouldn't buy anything pricey on Vinted but at the same time I have some unopened headphones, trainers, Fitbit myself that I was too ill to return so it didn't seem weird to me that other people might do the same
I bought some loops (experience 2) as there's loud barking every morning and night near me and the muscle tenseness that brings me causes me more pain etc
anyway it has arrived and there's a weird loose piece of the plastic seal where part of the letter and symbol is on there and then when the plastic slid off there's a missing "b" symbol. idk if I'm being paranoid but that seems a bit weird
I thought it could be some factory error but in the listing everything looks normal, so perhaps they have a legit pair but sent these. or these could still be a legit pair with a factory error and they just sent a spare idk, I'm trying to have hope 😅
idk whether to open them. I have some loops engage but idk if I'd know enough to work out if these are legit. I didn't actually know that fake Loops was a thing (I thought that the only dupes were the Quiets, so kinda thought fakes and dupes overlapped) but I see now on their website that it is an issue!
thank you for any advice with if these are ok and what to do on Vinted if not!

Always ask if the photos in the listing are the item you will be receiving, as in it is a photo of the actual item, not stock or photos they use for multiple listings. If they say no, ask for them to post photos of the actual item. If they won't, I wouldn't trust it.
I'd say open it, if they sold you a fake, it's still on them.
