To have not bothered corresponding through Vinted?

Did I make a faux pas?

Bought some things on Vinted and the seller messaged me to let me know she’d sent them - I wasn’t in any rush so thought ok, great. They arrived, all was fine and so I thought feedback was updated automatically. Next thing I know I’m getting messages saying ‘no communication’ followed by lots of sad faces. I find I get a LOT of messages and notifications on Vinted so I don’t always keep up with them but wondering if I just had a needy seller or I did something wrong?

I don't e-mail Amazon to say thank you for sending what I have ordered????

Come on..it's not the same thing, a faceless corporation to whom you are paying full price Vs a peer to peer transaction. Manners are important. It takes 1-2 seconds to text thanks and another 1-2 secs to confirm all ok so they can release the payment.

And I always say everything is OK. I don’t think it’s rude not to say thank you - I mean, my payment is sort of my thanks 🤣 and I don’t dick about with stupid offers or anything. I just buy, pay and have it delivered!

That’s not the same as leaving feedback and feedback helps people to know you are a good seller.

I know. I was addressing a poster who said she had a refund. I did think feedback was automatic, though.

It’s quite rude not to say thank you, don’t you think?

I sometimes forget to respond to messages on Vinted. Occasionally sellers are really chatty! I feel bad about it but I do manage to click 'everything is ok' and leave feedback, which is the important thing.

I don't think not replying specifically to something that didn't need a response was rude, but leaving feedback is helpful for the seller. Is it possible that's what she was referring to?

ComtesseDeSpair · 03/06/2024 19:39

Vinted sellers don’t receive payment until you actively confirm that “everything is okay” so sellers do get frustrated when buyers don’t bother. I rarely communicate much more beyond that apart from to leave feedback, though.

Didn’t you have a notification to say it had arrived and no issues? Happy to fill those in of course

I did this and next thing I knew I was automatically refunded as vinted thought my item hadn't arrived.

In the end I had to PayPal the seller as I felt guilty they had lost out.

Jettyspaghetti · 03/06/2024 19:24

I don't think you do have to reply, generally I try to just at least say thank you.
I do always leave feedback though.

You definitely don't have to reply to messages, however, if the service was good I always leave positive feedback, it takes 2 seconds.
