My haul today. Going through a shit breakup so I'm doing some retail therapy. I looked up the MSRP of each item and it came to $240, I paid $26. The boots alone are msrp $140, they were $7 shipped. Just wanted to share today's finds. I have a knack for finding good deals like this.

SELLING Vinted you sneaky minx!

1 Upvotes

Anyone else think vinted was the best thing since sliced bread when you first started using???

Everything going out the door so fast, running to the post office every few days to post off more things.

And then ……… crickets.

I’ve been looking into it and apparently it’s a new member marketing scheme where they absolutely advertise the shit out of your stuff at first to get you to keep coming back and then. Your items start getting very minimal views and favourites.

Totally annoyed by this! Was definitely too good to be true!

Anyone have any tips for getting quicker purchases or how to get your items seen more without bumping and paying extra all the time???

NEWBIE Too Good to True? Selling Clothes

0 Upvotes

New to Vinted, in the last couple of days I've bought many things for under $10, brands we are familiar with. Looking forward to getting what we've purchased, excited about the deals we've gotten. I've also saved a lot of items and almost half of it seems to sell within a day or two before I decided to purchase. It seems like everything on Vinted flies off the shelves from my perspective as a buyer.

We have been selling on eBay for over a decade. We've tried selling clothes but everyone seems to want 15 pictures and 20 measurements and we rarely sell any clothes despite the fact we have a lot of other sales. It's not worth our time to list for $10 on eBay. Everyone on eBay seems to think it's WalMart, didn't fit so they file an INAD and eBay sides with them and it ends up costing money in the end not making money.

We love to thrift, we have 4 grandkids and buy most all of their clothes at thrift stores. When the kids are done with the clothes we get them back. My wife has massive piles of clothes that "she's going to sell" but as I mentioned selling low-priced clothes on eBay isn't worth the time so it never happens. Ironically this week I found Vinted as a buyer and also convinced her to bag up a lot of clothes to donate to Goodwill, I'm now wondering if we should list them on Vinted. We literally have hundreds of pieces of clothes we could sell.

We have a label printer, we have shipping supplies, packing eBay sales is part of our weekly routine.

Is selling on Vinted as simple as it seems? Take a few pictures, fill out a few descriptions, then list? I don't see any listings with measurements. If we could put 4 or 5 kids outfits together, take 5 or 6 pictures and sell for $6 or $7 I'd be thrilled. We'd just use it to buy more on Vinted.

SHIPPING Is it possible a seller shipped and tracking never updated, or is she lying?

0 Upvotes

I bought an item I really want on October 18. The seller said she was going to ship the next day. Two days later, it still said “payment successful.” Then, the last couple of days it says “shipping label create by seller.” I messaged the seller to ask about this item and she is saying it was shipped on the 19th and tracking just didn’t update. I’m having trouble believing this was shipped at all. Has anyone had this happen before? Is it possible the seller is telling the truth, or is she definitely lying?

BUYING Instantly Blocked

Post image
• Upvotes

What's the deal with people getting so upset over pricing questions that they block you?! This is the second time this has happened over completely different topics. I understand I asked about shipping after having my offer accepted. But does that really matter? I'm under no obligation to buy. I just noticed the shipping was higher than the cost of the item. It's only a CD in a slipcase. I also sell in Germany and shipping is never more than 3€. I don't get why people can't just reply. I'm always polite. Why instantly block? Especially when you're a seller with many items listed (and this particular one has been up for quite a few months). It seems if a person is this sensitive, maybe they should find a new income stream that doesn't deal with other people. Anyway, I just needed to vent.

VENT Bad packaged videogame venting

Post image
0 Upvotes

Sometimes I receive a game I bought on vinted and it's nothing short of a miracle that the game isn't damaged.

This time the game was sent in a bubble envelope and it wasn't even put in the envelope correctly. (And I can't even say that sending it an an envelope correctly is safely packaged)

I can't really complain about it to the seller because the game arrived without damage but it's so frustrating that these kinds of sellers get away with this. Meanwhile I package the games I sell way better but when the delivery driver decides to sit on top of my package it's still somehow my fault and I should have packaged it better

BUYING Seller won't send item

2 Upvotes

Almost immediately after the sale went through, the seller messaged to say it was the wrong price and she wanted to sell it for more money. I didn't think this was very good but did say well if you've changed your mind please do cancel it don't sit on my money.

I left it for four days with no reply and followed up asking if she intended to send it as her first message implied she wasn't, and please not to wait until it auto cancels as its not fair to keep my money like that if she knows she's not going to sell it. She has replied saying no she's going to leave it to auto cancel.

Is there anything I can do or do I just have to wait? I understand there is a shipping window, but she's freely admitted she's not going to send it. I assume it's so she doesn't get a cancelled order on her account. Can I at least leave a negative review or will I not be able to leave a review if it's cancelled? I think others should know before they buy from her.

SHIPPING Who's Paying the Shipping?

15 Upvotes

Just found Vinted a few days ago and have made about 10 purchases to date, nothing over $10 and some brands we really like.

We have been eBay sellers for well over a decade, we sell a lot of vintage glass that we thrift and also sell a lot of household stuff we no longer use. We've tried selling some clothes but haven't had much luck. We've got a lot of nice stuff we'd sell for $5 to $10 just to get it moved and most likely just leave the money in Vinted to buy clothes for us and the grandkids.

As a long time seller on eBay I'm very aware that shipping is expensive. It cost $5 to $6 to ship most anything. Everything I've bought on Vinted is $5 to $8, most with free shipping. Who's paying the shipping cost?

DISCUSSION Two Vinted accounts – can I withdraw money to the same IBAN?

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone!
Does anyone here have two regular Vinted accounts (not Pro accounts), like I do?
I have money in my Vinted balance on both accounts, but I haven’t added any bank details or IBAN to my second account yet.
I’m wondering if it’s possible to withdraw money from both Vinted accounts to the same IBAN.
Has anyone managed to do this successfully? Is there any trick or method that actually works without causing issues with withdrawals or getting accounts blocked?
I’d really appreciate hearing your experiences or any advice. Thanks!

BUYING How do I report being scammed as a buyer?

0 Upvotes

I'm NOT a person who ever shops online for many reasons, but decided to see what I could find. I ordered a few small things on ebay and poshmark and then decided to buy a purse on Vinted and Im POSITIVE was scammed. Instead of getting my expected delivery box with a bag in it , I got a horribly spelled Halloween sticker claiming the person's mother was sick and the purse would be sent and a page with a few recipes - people, if you can think up something that is that good of word play - Trick or Treat, at least put in the effort for spell check.....

Meanwhile, since I NEVER use these sites, Im not sure what to do and how to report and dispute or whatever I need to do. I see I can say the item arrived, but there are issues - well, yes, AN item arrived, but it wasnt THE item. Is that correct? Do I do this elsewhere? Im not quite sure if I want to even mark it as received - it seems all too convenient to say it was.

Honestly, Im on disability and can't afford to be out of any extra money - and certainly dont want to fund scams - not that I would want to even if I was still able to have my career and made good money. This is exactly whats wrong with today's world.

Can someone just walk me thru the EXACT CORRECT steps since Vinted wants to make it complicated. . Thank you!

SELLING Vinted said legitimate UGGs were counterfeit

0 Upvotes

So annoying. I posted a bunch of items. Started selling, like yeah this awesome. Posted an old pair of UGGs and within 5 minutes an AI bot flagged them as counterfeit and banned my account. Had a bunch of stuff in mid sale and they cancelled them all. Cost me money. Put appeal in with pictures of the hologram tags on the shoes which show they are legit. Still won’t overturn the banned. I’ve heard this is common. I love that the appeal is reviewed by a bunch of dudes in mud huts in India. F Vinted.

BUYING Paying shipping for a return

0 Upvotes

I purchased an outfit for my son and when it came the threads on the waist band were loose/missing and there was a hole there also. I requested a partial refund and to keep the item but the seller requested that I return it and pay for shipping. I’m completely fine with returning the item but why do I have to pay for shipping on an item that you didn’t disclose the condition of? She had listed the item as, “very good condition”. Instead of paying for shipping I decided to just keep the item and repost it with full disclosure of the flaws.

Since when did the buyer have to pay for a return on an item?

VENT Can we talk about the giant ASDA bunny listings? They’re EVERYWHERE and it’s getting out of hand

Post image
• Upvotes

Is it just me, or has Vinted turned into 400 listings of the same bunny at £250+?

I searched for it today and it’s wall to wall. The thing is about £14 in ASDA, yet every other listing is at £200, £300, even £324 once the fee’s added. Nobody’s paying that. It’s just clogging up search so you can’t find anything normal.

And now there’s a second wave of people posting joke listings with “DONT buy!!” in the description. I get the protest, but that’s more spam in the same search results, and half of them are still priced at £300.

Some of it is plain greed. Grabbing stock the second it hits shelves, then listing at 20x the price for kids and parents who just want the toy. Vinted obviously doesn’t care, because they take their cut either way.

Honestly, if you want one, wait for a restock or check ASDA’s site and shop apps. Don’t pay these prices, or they’ll keep doing it.

Is anyone else sick of seeing these? Has anyone actually seen one sell at that price?

PLEASE indicate sizing correctly. Men’s sizing is NOT the same as women’s. And women’s is not the same as kids/youth. Yes, you can list it in the proper sizing category. And yes, I will indicate there’s an issue, especially for an item over $20.

VENT Fakes on Vinted

1 Upvotes

I’ve recently been looking for a new to me bogg bag on Vinted. (I know you either love bogg or hate them lol) anyways my rant is that there are so many fakes being sold as authentic and real even though they don’t have the embossed bogg logo in the bottom right corner of the bag.

This is where my Vinted irritation begins. I’ve reported several as fake because fakes can’t be sold on Vinted even put all the info as to why it’s a fake in my report. Every time Vinted comes back with “The content you reported from (user name) was reviewed, but it didn’t clearly violate our
Community Standards.” When clearly it does violate the no fake rules.

Such crap, Vinted needs to fix this because there are so many fakes being sold and not just bogg bags.

Ok I’m done with my vent and also wanted to warn buyers of bogg bags on Vinted to be careful and really inspect the photos so you don’t buy a dupe for real prices.

Just wanted to add I’m a buyer and seller on Vinted.

DISCUSSION Does Vinted not like you sending links in messages?

2 Upvotes

I’m selling a pair of BNWB kids school shoes and I’ve been getting questions about are they waterproof, what are they made of etc and as they are still for sale I’ve been sending a link to a store.

I did this last night in the middle of asking / answering quite a few other chats as I’ve just listed a load of stuff and I got the message about being reviewed, and then the all clear about five minutes later. So I thought maybe it was because I was usually active.

But then I got the same messages this morning after sending the link. Is this a normal thing for Vinted to automatically do if they detect an external link in your messages?

I’m going to add some more details to the listing to hopefully stop questions that can easily be answered but I was curious. And will stop sending links if that’s the case 😂
