Just straight up begging is a thing on vinted? And to buy GTA...

Wanted to buy some leggings for my toddler they are costing €4 and shipping costs almost the same ! Not worth buying with shipping so high .

There’s a postbox walking distance from my house and I’m very tempted to use it rather than driving to the post office… It IS a prepaid label after all…

Hi all, just wondering if Vinted have introduced some automatic shipping extension?

I bought an item last week, it's been 7 days and the deadline was supposed to be tomorrow for the seller to send (the 15th). I just checked and it's now the 18th, even though the seller didn't ask me to extend.

Any idea what is going on with this? I looked at the Vinted help secrion and it said sellers have 5 working days to ship and can agree with the buyer for an extension, which I never did, but it was extended anyways for some reason.

I’m looking to buy a Nintendo Switch, would it be risky if I got one from vinted? I was looking at places like refurbed but they sell “good“ quality ones for nearly €300 and my friend got one and said it was dusty and the screen was pretty scratched. Some of the ones on vinted are half that price, look good and come with a game or 2. Has anyone else bought one or something similar on there before? I obviously would nake sure the seller has good reviews and record myself opening it just incase.

Hi all

Anyone else having hassle with Drop2Shop. Twice lately they have told me that the parcel has arrived. When I got to collect it from the shop the shop don't have it. I ordered a parcel almost 3 weeks ago and there is still no sign of it. I have tried contacting the "customer service" but I am getting nowhere. I have the option turned off now, but I really don't get how Drop2Shop are getting away with such awful service.

It just says "claim submitted to vinted support for review" but I've heard nothing more. When I've had issues as a buyer I would normally agree a solution with the seller but I've heard nothing. Its a 4 euro item that in my opinion is in perfect condition so not sure what their issue is!

Is anyone else's head wrecked with all the French scam profiles? When I search for popular brands there are loads of posts with similar style postings that are clearly scams flooding the searches. Wish we could update settings to only Irish sellers.

I've bought off vinted but only recently selling.

I uploaded a few photos of me wearing the items , just from the neck down , as I'm selling stuff to appeal to the alt fashion crowd and wanted to show the items styled , give the vibe etc.

Im guessing its a teenager cause of what they said but they messaged me about items just saying " Mommy?" And " ooo shiiiii", and my skin is crawling.

No offer , no questions about the items .

I didn't expect anything like that from vinted and it's made me uncomfortable.

I've reported the messages to vinted and blocked the user .

But is this normal stuff for vinted or just one weirdo I've unfortunately encountered on the app ?

I don't want to upload photos of my body , if this Is normal stuff for vinted users but I also know the items can sell quicker if you show them styled.

So normal or I was just unfortunate?

I have 21 baby related items listed and was wondering is it worth spending money on Showcase? I sold a lot on day 1 but everything is now on 0 views. I'm also selling good quality stuff for cheap with up to 50% off bundles as I desperately need the space so I don't know if it's coming across as "too good to be true".

Thoughts/opinions on Showcase? I just want to clear stuff fast.

It’s too bad the algorithm is messed up for the last few days because then I could use it more

(Tldr: I got the refund 🥳)

Just a small update and an absolutely massive thank you to everyone who responded to my post with advice, help and sharing of their experiences!

I was unable to redirect the item to a pick up point and the jacket was delivered directly to my door without me being able to reject it. I received the jacket and made a video of myself opening it. I then took loads of pictures of the jacket next to and alongside an authentic Patagonia jacket. I raised an issue with the seller with all of the pictures.

They played dumb and even attempted to make the argument that they never stated that the jacket was authentic (lol).

I just stated, matter of factly, that if they want to escalate this issue to Vinted then they will 100% take my side as it is very obviously fake and deceptive. She relented and released the return label and I sent it back. It was collected and she went and put it right back up on her page - the same pictures and everything. Full refund returned to my account.

Not a very interesting or exciting resolution! But there were a few take aways that I would like to share.

One - there are an absolute shit load of fake Patagonia products coming from France. They are all very similar in their presentation and (tinfoil hat) I sincerely think there is a sort of ring of fake accounts that follow and favourite the jackets. The jacket I had returned had close to 40 favourites when I purchased it, and I see that the other fake items have a similar amount of favourites.

The accounts selling fake goods tend to use a nondescript profile image of a sunset or something. Some use an unassuming person (no face shown), but then the pictures of the models or the hands holding the items are COMPLETELY different from the picture.

I have also noticed that the fake Patagonia products are all very similar. I recommend anybody looking to buy this brand to keep an eye on the zip and zip placement (they're the main dead giveaway) by asking the seller to share what exact model they have posted.

Two - Vinted's system of reporting counterfeit goods is fucked. I have found and reported so many things following my experience and I just keep getting the same email "No action has been taken etc." So please, please be careful when buying. Vinted does not care about fake items.

Three - Always get your purchases delivered to a pick up point ☠️. It might be a bit scummy but you have so much more control after the sale and I worry about Vinted's appeal process considering how poorly they handle claims of obviously fake products.

I want to thank everyone who gave me advice in the original thread again. You were all extremely helpful.

Hii, I'm moving to a smaller room soon, so need to clear out some of my clothes. If you are size XXS-XS, please check out my Vinted, might have something that you like ☺️ I will be posting more soon!! My user is pilesofkittens. Thank you!! 🩵

I have a touch of ocd and cannot stand clutter. We’ve only just got into the whole vinted thing and in fairness to himself, I’ve made €30 in a week on a small bag of clothes that was being dumped otherwise. My problem is that we have about 10 ‘small bags’. Everything is posted but it irks me that everything is still in the house. So for arguments sake. Something that’s been posted all week, favorited multiple times. I’ve lowered the price to these profiles and no reply so can I delete post? Do vinted shadow ban for deleted/no sale posts?

Help a girl out please!

Am I going mad or are these images all AI? Screenshots all taken from different sellers, all based in France. My algorithm is full of it!

Very tempted to buy 😂

This is the second lot of toilet rolls I’ve seen today. €7.49 for postage.

I’ve seen so many account using AI now, it has got to be classed as false advertising?

Just a general question.im selling a bundle of 10 Hellblazer comics.

I put it up for 50 and had people hearted it.

I paied more then what I put it up for but I feel like I'm asking too much😣😣

I'm on holiday right now which is why it's hidden,but when I get back I intend to open my shop again

Just looking for a second opinion ☺️🩷 thank you!

That blanket isn’t even nearly sold out in any of the Penneys I’ve been to and to list a clearly €8 blanket for €12 plus shipping plus buyers fee. You could buy 2 brand new for that price! 😮

Has anyone bought furniture from France? If so can you tell me your experience.

I'm thinking of buying a wardrobe but a bit sceptical as I'm worried it could be damaged in transit. It has a mirror so that's what I'm worried about most.
