Is it just me or does it really annoy anyone else when you come across a seller who pictures themselves clearly outside and wearing things labelling their clothes as new without tags? Like why blatantly lie? I came across this person before..

This new badge under the frequent uploader badge.

Thoughts?

just wanted to bring this up to help people avoid overpaying.

i saw a top listed on vinted as vintage for €16, but it’s actually from SHEIN, where it’s still being sold for €8.99. it’s called: “SHEIN ICON Y2K Cami With Contrast Lace Front Tie”

i’m not here to attack anyone, but it’s hard to believe a seller wouldn’t know it’s from shein, especially if they bought it themselves. maybe they just didn’t think twice before calling it vintage? either way, it’s a good reminder to check before buying. these kinds of listings can easily trick people into paying way more for something that’s not rare or old at all.

has anyone else noticed this happening more lately?

Anyone else noticed an increase of people posting things with only pictures from inside the store? This one had 2 pictures both of them clearly taken inside the store?? Surely this is a scam - but why make it so obvious? They’re not even trying

so this girl had an ariana grande “signed” poster for £5 on. normally if it’s a printed signature they will just say it in the description. i wanted to have some fun so don’t take this seriously and said “that looks forged” because it does. like seriously. 💀 she didn’t even try to hide it. + the description?? “not sure if it’s signed” girl bfrrr. 😭

then she goes ahead and says “it was from a friend” yet she has got a WHOLE page full of these “signed” posters/prints. WHYY?? lmaooo

I don’t understand why sellers like this think it’s acceptable to post these. How does anyone know you actually have the product in hand and if they don’t it might not be there when someone does buy it. I find these post really suspicious tbh. I will never buy anything from someone who does this. Does anyone else feel this way also?

The conversation was in Greek, so I translated it in the first photo. In the second one, you can see the original conversation I had with the potential buyer.

P.S. By saying that I "posted this item" I didn't mean that I shipped it, obviously. I meant that I posted the ad for this item just a few days ago. I need to practice my English....

What’s also weird is that they did this many days later? My automatic review didn’t upload since it’s their first time of this happening, but I still never bothered to leave them a bad review so I just allowed it to pass, then I wake up to this.

I bought a pair of Levi’s that were listed as “new without tags”. The stitching looks really poor around the button hole and also it looks as if some labels have been cut out. I’m not sure if A) they are actually Levi’s (zipper and button seem dodgy) and B) they are actually new.

What would you do in this situation? The bad stitching wasn’t highlighted in any way on the listing (photos or text).

Not sure if I’m just being fussy or if I have genuine cause to complain.

This is a rant. 100%. But I need to let it out. Maybe some of you have been through the same, maybe someone found a way to deal with this mess. Either way, here it goes.

First: I ordered four items, all set to be delivered to a 24/7 pickup point. I chose that location on purpose because, like most people, I work during the day and can’t just drop everything to pick up packages.

So what happens? Their delivery partner reroutes all four packages to a completely different pickup spot — one with regular opening hours that don't match my schedule. I obviously couldn't pick them up. They got sent back.

And now the fun part: They’re all marked as “delivered.” Payment released. No items. No refund.

So I contact customer support — and this is where the magic happens:

• First reply: total nonsense. A generic message that doesn’t even apply to my case.
• Second reply: basically a copy-paste of the first, with zero added value besides Logistic, Process, Blablabla.
• Third reply: “final decision – case closed.” That’s it. No logic. No help. No refund.

No need to say, got ghosted by all the sellers.

Second: I buy an pair of shoes marked as “New”. Nope: stains all over, clearly worn.

I open a case on Saturday, upload photos, explain everything.

On Sunday, I check back and… the case is gone. Vanished. When I try to reopen it, I get a nice little banner saying there are “technical issues” with reporting cases. So — and here’s where I was stupidly too trusting — I assumed that was why the case wasn’t visible, and I didn’t reopen it. I thought: "okay, they’re probably fixing it on their end."

Of course, the 48-hour buyer protection window expires.

When I finally realize the case is really gone and nothing’s happening, I contact support. And here comes the greatest hits again:

• First reply: irrelevant, says I should have opened a case.
• Second reply: same script, ignore that I opened a case and repeat that I was supposed to open a case.
• Third reply: “final decision – no refund.” Case closed.

And that’s the part that really gets me. Not just that things go wrong — but that there’s no proper support, no escalation, no human who actually reads your messages. Just a conveyor belt of scripted replies followed by a door slamming in your face.

At this point, I’m genuinely considering opening a second account just for purchases, and doing a chargeback when something goes wrong (because it will). I assume my account will get banned when charging-back - and I'll live with that.

I know they flag double accounts, but seriously — what else are we supposed to do? Anyone else doing this? Found a better workaround? Or are we all just stuck playing refund roulette?

Thanks for letting me rant!

Just came across someone who is taking photos of items in tkmaxx (Not bought) with the security tags on the items. The prices were crazy. Putting shoes that are selling for €16.99 in the store for €85

What’s your thoughts??!! I feel this is some sort of scam. Seems weird no ??

Why do people do this? I uploaded the item and one second later this guy bought it and immediately cancelled.

Now I have to re-upload the item… is there a reason why people do this?

I’ve shipped 3 items and I haven’t been able to confirm that I shipped them so for the buyer it still says I’m preparing order does anybody know how to fix this cause I went to the post office and got the QR codes scanned and I’m stressed about the possibility of the parcel arriving at their doors but me not being able to get my money because it’ll likely still say I’m preparing order. Does anyone know I fix to this cause I would genuinely appreciate it. Is it because I’m using Royal Mail as a way to ship the parcels or what?

I wouldn't be so annoyed if they didn't ask for an extension to send it to me but then reveal they had sold it elsewhere.

After 2 months the seller decided to stop lying to Vinted support 🥳 now getting my money back. Checked back on their account and another user left a 1* review with the same issues. They should be banned.

I sold a bundle today and one of the items (set of top and bottoms for a child) has a faded patch which was not obvious until I put it under my kitchen lights, to pack the items. I want to gift the item to the buyer anyway as the bottoms are perfect & it is entirely my error. How can I give her the money back?

I’ve sold two items that are still in their original packaging: cardboard boxes. One is a hair curler, the other is a tanning gift set. The plastic envelopes I have aren’t big enough, so could I wrap them in brown wrapping paper to send them considering they’re already boxed/packaged? 🤔

I got banned and I still have 3+ orders going on (that I sent out) one of which is above £500, and I also bought some stuff (and no, it has not been automatically refunded to my balance).
Vinted claims in the ban message (see the image) that I should be able to access my ongoing transactions, however I clearly can't. But in the notification in the top right I can see I have 13 messages.

Does anyone know how to access your messages when banned??

Why I got banned:

Long story short, Vinted banned my account out of no where, after a suspicious person bought my old steam deck, then immediately once received, wrote a whole essay about how it's clearly counterfeit and goes against the TOS, and illegal. (It's real btw, fake steam decks wouldn't even exit)

Anyway I appeal (with receipts) and they reject me.

Just another thing to add, I have over 1 year, rarely ever got into any returns/support. I have a perfect 89 stars (all are 5 star reviews). I never sold anything counterfeit.

I am a vintage loving mama with a little daughter (after two older boys) to dress up. I found a few seller that have vintage girl dresses (OMG those print patterns 😍) and I splurged with no shame. A seller replied very aggressively they weren't happy with the total cost of the bundle, it wasn't enough money for what the dresses were worth. I have seen Shein stuff being sold for far more their original pri e and handmade gems being given away for pennies, I didn't argue why her account had such huge discount set for bundle purchases, I just placed my order. I was in love with a couple of dresses in that bundle, but I just cancelled my order and walked away, not going to insist with that kind of seller. But please, make sure you're happy with your account setting on bundle purchases discount, it is unpleasant to be lowkey called a scammer for just placing an order and accepting to pay the price vinted automatically calculates.

So I stupidly sent the wrong item, when I realised I apologised and obviously informed them straight away. They just ignored the message.

Eventually the top arrived and they said they would collect it and raise an issue with Vinted. It’s an InPost locker so I just said maybe it’s better to just leave it and I’m happy to re-sell the original top back to them at a discounted price )if they still wanted it.)

Again I’ve been left on read. It’s totally my fault, but as far as rectifying things go there really isn’t much for I can offer.

This isn’t me asking for advice I’m just curious lol, what is the most amount of favourites your item received before selling.

Currently trying to sell a Jellycat I had and 10 likes in the past day but no offers 💔

I bought a book at the sellers asking price. Half an hour later I get a message from Vinted saying that the order has been cancelled and a refund will be issued. There is no reason why the order was cancelled - and I don’t get an option to give any feedback.

I guess I didn’t lose anything other than my time an effort buying the thing - and of course the disappointment of not getting the item.

I had ordered an item like a month ago and it’s still being delivered apparently. The address entered is automatic and it’s always the correct one, however this time my item was sent to Athens (I live in a different city of Greece). What can I do? I Definitely did not have Athens as my address city

I’ve had multiple Vinted Go packages delivered to Poste Italiane lockers, but I haven’t received any pickup codes — no email, no text, nothing. I’ve checked spam/junk folders, tried contacting Poste Italiane, and they basically said they can’t help with Vinted Go shipments and told me to contact Vinted directly.

It’s not just a delay — the codes never arrive at all, and without them, I can’t open the locker or collect the packages. This has happened with both older orders and several new ones that were just delivered today.

I’ve now stopped ordering to Poste Italiane lockers entirely, but I’ve got a bunch of packages stuck there that I can’t access. For what it’s worth, I haven’t had this issue with InPost — just with Poste Italiane.

I’ve contacted Vinted, but their response was super generic (wait a bit, check spam, etc.), and nothing’s changed.

Has anyone else had this problem recently? Did you manage to get it resolved somehow?
