To scroll past your Vinted listing if you’ve done this?

No measurements for skirt length.
And I want to see the label. DD ordered a coat as described as 'fits a size 12' and when it arrived the label was 16 and it swamped her.

I think this is a bit much to expect someone selling a 2nd pair of jeans for a fiver when most shops don't even bother...

Yep and even ordering online from a retailer you can send back for a refund if it doesn’t fit. I’m not prepared to risk even eg £10 on a pair of jeans that might be 3 inches too short. That’s why I always ask for the inside leg measurement or length of a dress on Vinted.

What’s the point though? Your time to photograph it, list it, package it and take it to the drop off is worth more than £1 surely? Anything I wouldn’t list for under £5 goes to the charity shop as it’s not worth my time and effort.

Pictures with feet in shot🤮
Pictures that don’t show the full length all in one shot
Messy background
Blurry pictures - what’s the point?!

You've just confirmed my point . Usually they are oddly sized things e.g listed/labelled as a size 5 shoes, but actually there is a manufacturing defect and its measuring a size 4 1/2 on one shoe or there's a dodgy buckle etc same with clothes dress is labelled a 12 but the top half is a 10.

Women looking like they are posing for a 90s lads mag.

Calm down Alison, I'm interested in buying your jeans not looking down your cleavage.

There seem to be a lot of these pouting, tits ahoy photos posed on stairs, which makes me think health and safety risk rather than I'd like to buy that.

It's all very male gaze oriented.

I've just bought a black, wool coat for my mum, for a funeral.

Sent to a few possible sellers, the one I bought (£50) was from the only seller that replied with the sleeve measurement.

I wouldn't have risked £50 otherwise.

Yes, this is my pet peeve. Listed as BNWT and then either says "only worn a couple of times" or one of the pictures is then it being worn on a night out! Makes me wonder whether people understand the concept of 'brand new' 😅🤦🏻‍♀️

Agreed!!

I've resold before because the boots were too small. It's difficult with shoes.

Yeah that’s what I was thinking - a bit mean!!!

Ha yes!

@Wintersgirl It's listed as 'Never worn', but here you are wearing it hoiked into every crevice.

Some sellers on Ebay wear the clothes they're selling as if they're a fashion model, it very rarely looks good tbh, also I hate it when they've worn the item to a wedding then post a picture of them wearing it at the aforementioned wedding but with everyone blurred out, usually they're standing sideways with their DH and you can't see the dress at all . Just pointless....

If something is labelled as, beautiful/stunning &..'bought on Vinted' but reselling because my aunt died xyz. Move quickly along, there's something very wrong with it.

Yes when I sell Skechers, I always add the common misspellings Scetchers and Sketchers in the heading!

Best one I saw was a single photo of the item of clothing on a bed, neatly folded up.
No way of telling what it actually looked like.

I always assume that the suggested prices will be from sold listings. Obviously, lower prices sell more/quicker so the suggested price will probably be an average of that?

I use them as a guide if want a quick sale of something there are loads of (maybe a top from a high street brand or similar). But I only sell a few bits on Vinted, (mostly used bargains that don't fit me - I very rarely buy new) and just try to get back what I paid or a little less.

Yeah ignore the app suggested pricing. I'll be selling a brand new kids age 8 winter coat and their 'suggested' prices are for an age 3-6 months faded cardigan that still has baby sick down it.

I just tested out their pricing on something I don't own, but is currently available online for £295. It suggested £30. Someone would get the bargain of the century.

So if I wanted £25 I would list it at £30.

I'd definitely advise this. I've just sold a pair of shoes for £30 expecting they'd go for £25.
I'd had, and happily accepted an offer for £25, but the person offering didn't get back to me (why do people bother to do this?) so the extra £5 was a bonus, but often people like to feel they've bartered you down a bit.

I may have underpriced the first thing I sold which I'd bought for £250. It was still available for £250 new when I sold mine and I'd only worn it for about 6 hours at a wedding (I changed for the evening).
That went immediately for the asking price, £75, and I hope the buyer felt they had a bargain
I suppose my thinking was to ask for about 1/3 of the original price, but with more experience, I might have asked for £100 initially.
The shoes I mentioned were priced for roughly 1/5 of their original price, but are a few years old and there's a bit of wear and tear to the heels.

I always ignore those suggested prices and my things always sell. They are good quality popular items though. I always make sure the photos are good and taken in daylight - lots of them too with things like labels showing fabric and shoe size. Also the sole condition if selling shoes.

Thanks, that’s helpful. Not remotely urgent to sell; I’ve got storage space. It’s a clear out of my wardrobe after weight loss and lots of things are decent brands and very lightly worn. I’m happy to test the market rather than ask such low prices but wondered if the app was telling me I’m deluded!

I always list at a much higher price than Vinted suggests and my items always sell. If you’re not sure have a browse for similar or the same items and see what they’re listed at, price it similar and see what offers come in. I always price higher than I want because people send stupid offers. So if I wanted £25 I would list it at £30.

Sometimes it’s just a guessing game. You can always start higher and then reduce. If it’s got lots of likes and has been up for a couple of weeks then I might reduce by a little on pay day and it will always sell.

It depends how desperate you are to get rid and if you’re looking money fast. I’m doing a clear out because we’re moving in the summer so happy to hang on to items for longer. My friend has just uploaded half of her wardrobe contents for £1 because she desperately needed space and it all sold in a day.
