I’ll start by saying I don’t think I’ve done anything wrong and this is first time in 3 years and 500 transactions this has happened on Vinted.

Put a dress on to sell. Priced reasonably but I’m always willing to accept a good offer. Someone offers £2 below asking price do fair enough I accept.

I hear nothing more from, go out for the afternoon, come home and I’ve had another offer for same amount. So I accept that too and that person immediately buys.

A couple of hours later I get a pretty irate message from the first buyer saying I’d made an obligation to sell to her by accepting her offer and I’ve behaved appallingly. That I hadn’t given her the opportunity to pay for the item - this was around 5/6 hours after her offer was accepted. Furthermore she’s reporting me to Vinted for ‘poor form’ and hopes they take action against me.

Quite frankly I think she’s being ridiculous and if she was that interested should have purchased as soon as I accepted her offer but just wanted others views.

I suppose it’s a case of snooze you lose imo

Block this loon.

If they were that desperate for the item they'd have paid full price and purchased immediately to secure the item.

You snooze you lose . I've had three offers all at the same time roughly , so I accepted all three and whoever brought it the quickest got the item

That's ridiculous, it's common that you get offers or .ake offers and need to act fast if you want the item that badly, snooze you lose! Vinted won't do anything at all and if they want to waste their time then more fool them.
