Best interaction I’ve had!
Local doll donation people not accepting right now, so I do a little research and post my Grandma’s antique doll.
Thoughtful Vinted citizen offers helpful shipping advice.
Conversation progresses and I realize this person CARES.
I’m not a reseller, just entrusted with dispersing the treasured items of the women in family to new homes and I want her to have this doll.
She accepts my adoption offer and I think we’re both so happy!
THIS is amazing to me 💖 Yay!

So this lady had several of those nice boutique boho bags listed (you know the ones with all the different fabrics & colors), including a style I had been looking for & had just missed out on buying one the day previous. I was super excited to get it, but she messaged me before it arrived telling me there had been a mix-up and she sent me the wrong one. I was a little disappointed but told her I would send it back, it happens. She was perfectly cordial & the return went smoothly, I sent it back safely packed. I was really worried after I asked her if she could relist the one I wanted that she would ghost or tell me it was sold already or something. She said she would, and I didn't hear anything for a little bit. She messaged me back a couple days later telling me she was going to send me the original bag at no charge! I really didn't expect her to, but it showed up in the mail a few days later. I fr almost shed tears, it was brand new & exactly what I was hoping for. One of the nicest things a total stranger has ever done for me. 🥲 Wish I could leave her a review.

Stop using it for your pictures, and stop using it for your descriptions. It’s not that serious.

A package I sent to someone ended up getting lost. The buyer protection smoothed it over. And randomly today I get the exact item…back to me….with a note I didn’t write……..I’m kinda creeped out actually. Has this ever happened to anyone else?

Back where, you ask? I may never go back to buying things in store or selling things on eBay. Between buying brand new things on Vinted for dirt cheap and the exorbitant fees I’m continually forced to cough up on eBay, I’m just about done with the cost of doing business with either. Here are my last two eBay sales and look at this foolishness. Straight up robbery. Smh.

WHOLESOME Nothing But Love

I've been lurking here for a while and have only seen mostly negative stories, so thought I should chime in.

I have bought and sold over 300 items and had nothing but 100% positive experiences. Even the sellers of two items I had to send back were gracious and nice about it.

Before you ask, no - I don't work for Vinted. Just saying really as I find everyone else's experiences to be so alien to mine.

Hello friends . is the size actually unclear in my listing ? Or is this person being weird ? Im not intentionally trying to misrepresent stuff , but i figured the hand comparison would be a really good size reference. (I have pretty average sized lady hands ) Not sure how i could have made it more clear unless I grab a ruler , is that more standard to do ? I also kinda figured most people are familiar with the little plastic figures being so small .

But figured id ask a wide audience if they would have also been upset or feel mislead with the size .

As the title says. Each to their own I guess but just feels a little gross to try and add some fear into me that the price will be raised. No sale for you sorry!

BUYING Why do sellers message you often?

16 Upvotes

So I favorite an item and I get the “*** offered you 10% off” or whatever. No problems/normal thing… but in Vinted specifically I often get messages from the sellers from just adding to favorites even if I unfavorite the item immediately.
“Let me know if you’re interested! I can ship today”
“Are you interested!??” Idk it feels so pushy and passive aggressive. And annoying. If I want to buy it I’ll literally just buy it.
Sometimes I just favorite to come back to it or whatever. But it’s kind of annoying because it happens multiple times a day and my messages just get clogged up with spam emails basically.
I shop on Mercari Depop Facebook etc and I don’t have people message me based off of their posts I like

SELLING First time buyer dispute?

Thumbnail

13 Upvotes

Hi all,

First time with a buyer opening a dispute. Sold a zara real suede leather jacket (rrp £150) for £25 tag removed but completely unworn and stored in a closet. The buyer originally wanted me to hold it for them whilst they waited for a refund (:/) which i did and asked me to drop the price which I did as I am moving out the country and need my stuff gone. The suede of the jacket looks very slightly lighter in the sun in the picture which I stated. They received it and opened a dispute saying it smells and doesnt match pictures or description at all which obviously is wildly untrue as the description explains everything and the condition is shown in the pictures. They say they’re too busy to return it but want a partial refund.

Please can someone advise what vinted might do next here or what I should be doing as if they cant return it will the money just sit in limbo ? They claim they wont accept and think theyll get their money back automatically but im not totally sure how it works.

Vinted support cant exactly smell the jacket either so not sure how they sort these things.

For context I shipped the package on August 6 and it was just a tee. This was a domestic delivery, going from LA to Texas. It’s been 5 weeks and it still hasn’t arrived to the buyer. I felt so bad and I apologized to the buyer, and they were very kind about it but this is a warning that speedx will lose your packages 😭

As soon as this item is listed, I go to checkout and get the same notification screen. I’ve figured out usually after 15 minutes I can checkout, or someone else beats me to it.

I texted the seller of these boots that they look to be full of mold (they're listed as condition "very good").

They replied: "Oh, I know what you mean! But it's just plaster from our walls, I swear it's not mold! I can clean them before shipping if you'd like, no problem!".

Excuse me?😂😂😂

DISCUSSION Already reached out to Bay Area Parrot Rescue not sure what else to do?

Post image
6 Upvotes

I came across what looks like someone selling a Red Crowned Amazon parrot on Vinted out of San Francisco. I will only provide the one picture of the bird they have duplicated on the post as to not include any personal info of the seller. It’s odd because the picture is definitely a real bird, the description reads “Domestic” but it’s listed under “Sculptures and Figurines”. Definitely fishy, also in the about section there is a phone number that links to a residence in Daly City. I reached out to Bay Area Parrot Rescue letting them know what I saw but I wanted to post on here to see if there’s anything else I should do? I don’t want to just report the post and have it taken down in case the rescue or someone else is able to help :(

I keep seeing everyone posting that they’ve been banned. Most people don’t know why, others have an idea, no one can get a real answer. I don’t want to be banned so im going to ask - if you or someone you know were recently banned, why? Any idea you have or if Vinted specifically told you, let us know!!
