To hate unrealisic Vinted sellers?

Yep! When I’ve made a fair offer (eg £17 for a £20 item) and they’ve rejected it but I can see there are plenty of others for sale and/or theirs has been listed forever I always roll my eyes. It’s easy to just press decline but if they send a pass-agg message such as “no way, it’s worth the money“ then I like to reply with an equally pass-agg but arguably polite “ok, good luck!“

I take offers on most things but some of the kids clothes I’m so attached to, I know they need to go but I can be odd about the price, probably lots of other people a bit over attached.

I've found that when I've accepted offers from buyers, 90% of them don't see it through and I never hear from them again. That has put me off accepting offers and most of the time I now don't I think a Vinted offer should be binding, like ebay.

Yabu. I've had stuff listed for sale for 6 months and then sell for the price I set. Some people aren't in a rush to sell

Totally agree.

There is a dress I fancy online. It’s £70 in the sale- BNWT obviously. Vinted seller wants £80, it’s worn and has a rip.

LOLZ

I just don’t see the issue, if they dint want to sell it for the price you want to buy it. So? You don’t own vinted, it’s not doing you any harm it being in there, just move on.

I think my issue is time. So I might put a few kids clothes up for £2 or £3 each. Happy for people to buy them or not. But I don't have time to be messaging back and forth. It's not that I begrudge them the 50p off or whatever, I just don't want to be constantly messaging on the app! Also if multiple people make offers you've got to respond to them all individually. I can't be arsed for the sake of £2.

I realise this goes against how a lot of people use Vinted though i.e. they like to feel they've got some money off.

Think about it from the seller's perspective. If I'm being offered less than £3 for something, I really can't be arsed to:

• Locate it in the bags/boxes of stuff I have to get rid of.
• Print the label and package it.
• Make a trip to the corner shop just to send that item.

I do accept offers for less on stuff but it tends to be when the buyer wants to buy a bundle or when I've sold some other stuff that I have to find and package as well, so it's not going to be any extra effort to send something else as well.

But if it's just one item and a few pounds, then it's not really worth the time.

I price my items at what I'm happy for them to go for. If I get a reasonable offer then sometimes I will accept, however if I don't want to accept an offer I don't see the problem, they're my items to do with what I want. For me it's a lot of effort to walk to the library to print off a label to then go to the parcel shop for one or two pounds. If my items don't sell, they go to charity shops.

But maybe they're not desperate to sell. They might be happy to let it sit there for however long until either they give in and lower the price, or someone's willing to pay it. It's entirely their business and I don't understand why you're upset about it

Same.

Im just trying to clear out my kids clothes that don’t fit, I price cheap anyway because I want quick sales and will do bundles but because I price so cheaply I don’t generally do offers unless something has hung about for a while. I wouldn’t personally have stuff hang about more than a few weeks because it would annoy me.

I sell lots on vinted, I have a "vinted bag" under DC bed. I usually accept offers as I'm just happy to get stuff out the house and the locker is just round the corner so it's worth it even for £1 as all those £1 adds up!

I won't sell if a buyer offers me a really low amount because by the time I've packaged it, travelled to the nearest in post locker only to find it's full, then have to drive to the next one, it's not worth my bother. I'd rather stick it in a charity bag and put it outside my front door.

I get annoyed by buyers who just seem to want to knock £1 as a point of principle. Either buy it or don’t, it’s not a game to “win”.

The most annoying one is people who offer (a fair offer) which I accept and then they want to revise their offer down further. Nope.

Like others, I list items then leave them in the cupboard. If they sell I pop them in a bag and drop them off at the Inpost locker near work. Otherwise, they go to the charity shop. Not everyone is desperate to sell - I don’t really care one way or the other, they’re just different forms of recycling.

I think it's fine. It's theirs they can valuate it as they wish. If it doesn't sell then obviously they aren't that fussed or need the money that badly that they lower the price to shift it.
I always get great bargains on Vinted, I only use it to buy not sell. I can't relate to being entitled to other people's things because I'd only want to part with such and such amount of money 🤷‍♀️

There are 4 items I've asked measurements on , just the lengths, I will buy them as soon as they've got back to me but sellers rarely do and they're still for sale. Odd

Also why the hell accept an offer then no communication and the time expires to send it?

Someone said, why is this annoying? I guess it's because you spend time on the site, evaluating different items, deciding if you want something, and if the person doesn't want to haggle or has a fixed offer in mind, it's a bit tiresome trying to bid and guess that information on a site set up for haggling (offers), but that's a limitation of Vinted, not the sellers as such.

Vinted does seem to attract a special kind of nutter - I once got some after sale negative feedback cos the buyer had slipped in the boots I’d sold her! I didn’t bloody manufacture them

I price items at what I want to get for them. I'm not desperate for the money so I don't care if they don't sell for a year! I'd be open to reasonable offers though but I wouldn't let a £100 item go for a tenner if it was in great condition.

I do like be vinted but it's a test of patience at times.

I recently had someone buy an item (priced too cheap really but was having a clear out) and then text me the next day asking if she could cancel the order and re-buy it at a lower price. I accepted the cancellation and declined her new offer, also ignored her messages asking why I wasn't accepting them. It sold again and hour later.

That’s different though, as the example given here is items clearly not priced to sell since they were still on the site after nearly a year and a bit

I price to sell so just ignore a lot of offers as I know I'll get full price. I posted a brand new pair of Nike trainers for £40 which were £80 new online (genuine and long story as to why we had them). Immediately inundated with offers ranging from £10 to £25 and then a few hours later sold them at full price. Two of the cheaper offers messaged me after to basically say 'oh that's not fair they've gone as I wanted them and would have paid £40'. Erm ok

This

More annoying is ebay buyers who make ridiculous offers that barely cover fees and postage costs. Depends whether your motivation is just to get rid or whether you want / need to make money.

the worst is when they send a bit that is lower than 40% off via message. Yeah no bother, I am going to sell this £60 cardigan for £25....

Someone offered me bids in increments of 10p for a pair of £5 jeans. needless to say i would rather give them away than accept any bid from some one that annoying.
