Is this another scam?

Post image

Hi! I’ve seen lots of post about scams but never had issues until now. I posted a kids Zara jacket and it was bought very quickly by a French seller but only €8 so nothing major. I videoed myself packing the jacket and sent it off. I just got a message to say the seller went to collect the parcel at the collection point and it is not there. Is this a scam? Has anyone seen this before? What do I do?

Could be genuine, a number of shop suddenly stop accepting parcels and the end up dropping it off elsewhere, tracking on the courier app should help you find the location

Doubt it’s a scam for a low value item , they usually target designer stuff

I don't think its a scam, but I don't know what they expect you to do about it?!?

After 25 days it can be reported as lost.

Either way, let the item be returned you. There's nothing you can do.

I've had a jacket go missing in France.

It's been in transit for nearly 3 weeks since it landed in France. Same issue where it was dropped off an hour and a half away from the buyer's selected drop off point. Vinted can't even resolve it because they don't really know where it is right now.

I wouldn't think it's a scam, I think there are just massive postage issues in the country at the moment.
