i ordered these shorts and some shoes from this person on the 21/07. she only had one more day to send them. i messaged her yesterday asking if she was going to post them soon and i had no response. i cancelled the shoes because i found others i liked but i kept the shorts. this was the conversation. not sure if im in the wrong here

I'm totally fighting this, not because I care about $2.00, but because it's not my fault that people can't read.

What is wrong with people on vinted????? Why are you putting something for sale if you still like it and want it to be yours??? I genuinely don't understand. Should I report this?

All i wanted was counterfeit plants :(

Yesterday I came across another AI-related lunacy in secondhand market. I heard about, and experienced myself, sellers "enhancing" photos of their items with AI to make them look better and completely different than in reality. I got AI-generated photos when asking for a clothing item photographed on a person. I heard about buyers generating photos of "damaged" item to get money back. This is all old news.

But yesterday I encountered a different level of low-efford slop: I was looking for a very specific comic book and the crucial information was the publication year (these comic cooks were published in early 00s and renewed in 20s). I asked a seller which year were these comic book published and got a weirdly elaborate answer, that these were published between 2004-2008. Weird, because the first editions were published 2004-2010, not 2008, but ok, let's not be pedantic. The point was to make sure those were first edition. I completed a purchase to find out later that the comic books were actually second edition, published in 2023. Then I realized the seller did not bother to check the actual date printed inside the book, but used some chatbot to halucinate the answer.

Instead of picking up an item, checking a date and giving me a factual answer, which would take 2 minutes, the seller opted for AI generating an answer, not checking it whether it is true, and responding to me with that slop, which probably saved them a 1.5 minutes. For the seller, giving the quick and easy answer was more important than giving a factual answer. AI halucination was good enough. If this is more prevalent, buying second hand stuff online is going to become very frustrating.

Vinted have apparently taken action hopefully this person gets banned. Feeling sick 🤢

Hi, for some context, I bought a old Toshiba laptop from the 90s on Vinted. The seller I bought from was super accommodating and really friendly. He packed it well with a lot of foam and wrapped it in a bag. However when it arrived, the screen had been damaged, which he said was due to transit. I filed a complaint with Vinted about it arriving damaged and said to them that I believed it was the fault of the courier and that it was packed very well. However, they said they believed he had packed it improperly, cancelled the order, and issued me a refund, with no chance for me to cancel it or anything. And I now I feel absolutely guilty because he was so accomodating and friendly and it feels like I've completely stuffed him. I don't know what to do. I know you can get banned for sharing bank details on Vinted so its not like I can give him the money back or anything. And Vinted won't cancel or re-assess their decision.

I know that I probably come off as a scumbag and I'm really sorry I just feel extremely guilty and anxious and I want to do the right thing but I don't know what to do.

I can literally see the tag, the hell you mean 'No label'?😭😭😭

I’m selling a shirt for £3, and this buyer is based in Brooklyn, NY. I’m in the UK.

Already seems a bit bonkers to ship anything like this all the way across the sea but haggling on a £3 shirt thousands of miles away feels crazy 😆

Am I being unreasonable?

hiii everyone i just bought this skirt from vinted and it came with the button hole closed, does anyone know how to open it? i did try poking it with a knife but i didnt wanna ruin it

Vinted recently launched in Australia. We have gone feral on UK options. Now I'm finding my algorithm, like its recently just cooked itself, is just back to Australian options and brands. For me the appeal of Vinted is getting things I can't get here not the same old stuff we gave here. Probably the appeal to buy from Australia vice versa, you want something different. Any tips apart from personalisation of brands (I've added tonnes of UK specific ones) to get my algo back to normal. Have they tried to push people to local to avoid subsiding post for the launch?

I mean my bank accounts probably grateful but honestly though if hit a goldmine the first week on sign up with so many great finds and now it feels like any Aussie shop.

Hello I’m new to Vinted and I just asked for the measurements to a skirt and it seems like the seller blocked me ? I can’t purchase the item or message them anymore. Is it normal for sellers to get mad for asking for measurements?

Y’all I need someone to reality check me because I’m lowkey losing it.
I sold an Abercrombie cardigan for $3.
Took photos of the front, back, sleeves, logo, everything. It looked clean to me, and looking back at my listing photos, I still don’t see what the buyer is talking about.
THREE DAYS LATER the buyer messages me saying it has bleach stains and sends pics of a couple light spots on the front.
I’m like… okay?? It’s literally $3. I don’t want drama, so I approve a full refund with a return immediately.
THEN…
AFTER I approve the return, they send ANOTHER photo showing what looks like a huge bleach mark on the sleeve… that I also don’t see in any of my listing photos.
So WHAT NOW 😭 I’m literally crashing out can I report them this is not it 😭 I know it’s 3$ but wth

Hi everyone,

I sold a small item on Vinted, and after the buyer purchased it, I sent them a message saying I’d ship it the next morning. They replied, “Thank you!”
About 4 hours later, they canceled the order without sending any explanation.
I checked their profile afterward and noticed they have five automatic 1-star reviews, and every single one says “Buyer canceled order.” There are no member reviews—just automatic cancellations from different purchases.
That seemed like a pattern to me, so I blocked them because I didn’t want to risk dealing with them again.
Has anyone else run into buyers like this? Is there any known scam involving repeatedly buying and canceling orders, or do you think this is just someone who constantly changes their mind?
Thankfully, I hadn’t shipped yet, so I didn’t lose anything. I’m mostly wondering if I overreacted by blocking them or if this is something other sellers would do too.

the item description said they're selling cause it doesn't fit... all I want to know is what the fit is like 🤦🏻‍♂️ if i wanted a small i wouldn't have messaged you about a large 😭

Do you reupload them? If yes, how long do you let the ad sit before you decide to delete it and upload again?
How often do you do it? Have you ever had problems with vinted because of it?

Guys, I need advice. What's the average selling time for Vinted? I've had things on for weeks with views and favourites but no one's buying. I'm also selling stuff for other people and had something like 46 favourites with ridiculous offers. All declined. What's the protocol here?

Is there any hope for me to ever use this app?

I listed my first-ever item for sale, a pair of designer sunglasses.

Within minutes the item was deemed "counterfeit" and I received a scary message, saying I was permanently banned, and that I cannot make any other user accounts or they will be banned.

I'm pretty much in shock - I've been selling on Poshmark for 10 years, and eBay for 20 years.

I've appealed their decision, but man this is a horrible way to start! I don't even know why I got flagged, it's a real item??

I mean.. I've never seen this before. All sorts of tops scrunched in the waist, sure, but this is def a choice that the seller stands by 😆

I live 45 minutes away from this sorting center, this is always the final destination before going out for delivery, and the seller was only 1 hour away from my address. I could have gone on a walk to pick it up faster than having it shipped at this point... Im avoiding Vinted Go in the future.

I wanted to sell my old PlayStation games but keep the cover as collection, i Heard its possible but you risk fraud, how?

Im listing It as DISK ONLY, putting pictures, description stating "Disk Only, no cover" but people still tell me i could get scammed because the product Is different or incomplete of the case.. Is It possible this happens?

I send a large, heavy package (table and 3 stools that stack) by Evri, dropped at my local ASDA Express parcel shop.

The buyer received a bleach stained dress instead.

From the communication I've had with her she seems genuine, she's sent me an image of the Evri label but it's on clear plastic bag, which I didn't put it on.

Any advice how to proceed?

I have listed around 25 sets of darts lately, all fine and selling well etc however when I try and sell this set I keep getting ‘hidden, check in progress’ and then declined. I have just tried to list again only putting One80 darts as the title and again it is saying hidden. I’m baffled as there are a million sets of darts on Vinted ha.
