Vinted seller has pissed me off

I’m usually chilled but this for some reason really took me off guard!

I ordered an item via Vinted and I waited 4 days for the item to be sent .. that’s ok I can’t do anything about it …. However, I got the item now and the seller wrote me a message saying “can you confirm that you got the item so I receive the payment “? What excuse me ?
Not a question like are you happy with the item ? You got 5 days to send and I have 2 days to confirm …. what’s the rush? This is not a business

what a cheeky …..

YABU, what a non-issue. 4 days is a reasonable time to post, they have a week to do so. You received the item so you should release the payment. If you want something instantly buy it new and pay for express postage.

I received the item I didn’t even have a chance to open it … and I was asked to release money ….

like wait a second what if the item is damaged and not as described? They have 5 days & I have 2 days as buyers are busy as well …

People have busy lives, children, commitments etc. As soon as you receive your item it’s good practice and etiquette to confirm receipt. The app notifies you when a package has been delivered. It pisses me off when people receive their item then make zero attempt to confirm for days on end.

Days on end …. You only get 2 days.
People have busy lives, children, commitments etc and might not have time to confirm straight away….. works both ways.

4 day to send is perfectly ok.

YABU. I wouldn’t consider 4 days a long time.

TheCheekyKoala · 08/04/2024 23:23

I’d just ignore the message and let it run it’s two days.

If they really took the piss sending it then when I get it delivered to a shop I leave it up there a week and then take 2 days to confirm too.

I also don't think 4 days is unreasonable to post, and I would always confirm as soon as I receive it

You have the item, let them have their money.
