Vinted seller has pissed me off

Yabu. You got the package let the seller have the money.

"Jesus. It isn't even slightly rude. What a thing to get worked up about. Why don't you just, you know, open the bloody parcel and confirm."

This. It's a total non issue .

I have a buyer who hasn't confirmed "all ok" with their order, so it's just sat there until like midday today before the money get released - you can see they have been online from their last online status on Vinted, it's just being lazy by not hitting that button - but whatever, money goes through after 2 days and I am not desperate for it but for someone who was, I am sure it's really frustrating. It takes like a couple of seconds to do!

That must be it, I’m clearly not as tech savvy or intelligent as you are. 🙄
You’re so lucky that you have such great insight and ability to predict problems before they happen. I’m also very jealous of the time you have on your hands to enable you to check app settings in detail.

I think I’d rather be a normal person who learns from their mistakes than someone who can’t accept that people actually have different opinions and experiences without resorting to insulting and belittling them as you have done on this thread. 😂

You are being such a knob. I bet you find life constantly difficult and dramatic and wonder why.

You're not penpals. Give them the money they're owed.
You have no idea how much they're relying on that money. Surely it's a given they mean for you to check the item first - you don't need to be told that.

Why are you getting so annoyed about this?

It takes you a few seconds.

This is a second hand marketplace, not Amazon Prime. 4 days is a completely reasonable time to post an item. The seller has to actually get to the post office/ drop off point to send it to you.

If you've received it and everything is OK then you need to confirm. Which involves pressing one button on your phone. It takes you less than 10 seconds.

YABU

Sorry op yabu. 4 days to send item is fine and it takes 10 seconds to open vinted and confirm so they get their money.

Just release the payment and stop being obstructive.

Like others have said this is a non issue.

You have the item. Give her her money. It would have taken 1% of the effort you've put into this post to just release it to her.

It's a business transaction. Get thing, pay for thing. Done. She isn't required to scrape and curtsey.

You don't sound very chilled OP.

You’re wrong

Jesus. It isn't even slightly rude. What a thing to get worked up about. Why don't you just, you know, open the bloody parcel and confirm.

That’s annoying OP - what are the sellers reviews like? - often I pick up a parcel on way somewhere and don’t unwrap &try on until I’m home so won’t confirm for up to 8 or 9 hours. Confirming “Everything is OK” means the item is as described etc so I do want to check first.

Posting involves effort. Not everyone lives near a drop-off point and some people need to plan to get there at some point during their week. Confirming takes seconds.

Oh, god, I've got half a dozen unopened packages 😳 I had no idea about this Vinted rule! I was going through an irrational fear of bedbugs at the time, then the packages disappeared into my Mountain Of Things I'm Going To Do.

Vinted sellers everywhere - I'm sorry, I didn't know!

[Relieved update] "Auto-feedback received. We've left positive auto-feedback". That means they got paid, doesn't it?

It's not usual to be chased in my experience, although I have been once - I was at work so couldn't confirm it was as described until I got home and actually opened it. It is a little annoying to get a message as soon as it's been delivered. I sell a lot also and would never do that.

vinted items typically take about a week to arrive

that is a big effort where I live hence why I don’t bother with the hassle of selling on vinted or anything else. All our local post offices have closed down, there is some sort of collection thing where you put into lockers at the local coop but apparently it’s always full (according to posts on fb) so people can’t get stuff delivered or collected there easily either and may have to go back several times

YABU. Maybe it's a bit annoying a seller messaging you but it's really no big deal. Just check the item as you would normally and if as described then click all is OK. It doesn't take long.

You are being a deliberate pain in the ass.

Sounds like the person really needs the money. It takes (if I recall correctly) 3-5 working days for the funds to go into the sellers bank after confirmation of receipt. So if the buyer faffs around for a few days before confirming could be over a week before any money is in the bank.

Bot everyone has a corner shop. My local drop off is 15 miles away

Lol you not being knew ro vinted does not mean you have the deciding vote on what is rude. You are a drama queen. I've got feedback of over 3000, and I regularly get asked to release payment. Shes probably hard up.
