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

I don't know about now but modelled photos didn't used to be allowed.
So if there's modelled photos now maybe that's not a rule anymore but most people don't realise?

Aside, but I was asking myself 'what is a ba-llach-eh?' then realised it did in fact say ball ache. I'm going to blame it on tiredness (and maybe just having done my German lesson, where 'e' at the end is often pronounced as just that). Maybe I shouldn't be reducing caffeine after all.....🤣

But she was selling it as a size 14. Usually, and for sure on Vinted, xl=14. When you go to add the size, xl is always a 14 on Vinted for dress sizes/trousers, plus the advert said true to size and it's a 14.

Edit: my screenshot didn't load! Lots of pics of size 14 being advertised as an xl.

I usually also put something in the description like, "I'm 5ft7, usually wear a UK size 12 and a 32F bra. This dress comes up knee length on me and isn't tight around the bust". It really doesn't take long and the item is more likely to sell (and to someone who will be able to wear and enjoy it!)

Yes, it's quite wasteful to throw out clothes just because of some bobbling, which is easy to remove.

i have found some fabulous bargains with incorrect spellings!

There was mention of where the photo was taken too.

Same, I often buy bobbled jumpers from expensive brands and debobble myself. It's a bit of a faff but well worth it.

People who don't thoroughly check things they've bought themselves on Vinted and found unsuitable. Then when I've received the item and discovered the damage/ inaccuracy they say something along the lines of, 'Sorry hun, I bought it on here but it didn't suit so I'm selling it straight on' as if that's an excuse for not noticing the blood stains in the crotch of jeans or the altered leg length. They're always happy to refund but it's such a faff to have to return things that only cost a fiver.

I got an amazingly cheap Toast jumper that has bobbled a lot. I spent an hour with a bobble remover and it was as good-as-new! Don't throw things out just because they have bobbled!

No length listed on trousers and then no picture of a label. If you can be bothered to put size 12, it's not that much harder to add a Long, Short etc

Yeah it takes seconds and really helps people. Especially lengths of dresses and trousers - this is essential IMO. I always give measurements. I don't want someone to pay money for something that then turns out to be totally unsuitable.

How do you get through life being this easily triggered? You must clutch your pearls all Summer! How miserable 😒

It's not about where it's photographed, it's the fact it's all screwed up!

XL is a size 20 though.
S = 8-10
M = 12 -14
L = 16-18
XL = 20 -22
I make most of my own clothes and generally these are the sizes on dressmaking patterns.

Buy a de-bobbler and your bobbled clothes can look like new. 😊

When I'm listing 10 items a day, then yes it is a ballache to measure everything. If someone messages me answer asks me to measure it I will do but not as standard. I sell enough without to not make it worth my while

The ‘very good condition’ is very wide ranging! Got a jumper this week, totally bobbled. I accepted it because it would have cost more to return it than the price. Seller of course didn’t show that part, straight in the charity bag.

I bought trousers, apparently ‘true to my size’, but when I tried it on, they’re 3 sizes too big. The label is xl, but they measured as a size 20. New owner gave good feedback. I think measuring is key, if the label isn’t ready obvious.

Someone modelling an item who is many sizes smaller with message saying "model normally wears an XS.." I've even seen someone holding the excess of fabric out to the side on a pair of trousers like a weight loss "after" picture! Extremely off-putting.

Yeah this always bothers me.
If it should wash out suggests that you haven’t washed it and are trying to sell something unwashed.
As clearly if the marks should wash out and you have washed it there would be no marks.

Listed as NWT and there are none and has clearly been worn.
Listed as bundle of 3 sweats for 5£ and then when you click you see that it's actually 5£/ sweat. I hate when they waste my time like this!
Or listed as new when there are stains/holes.
Also allergic to feet/clothes placed on stained covers-dirty floors/.
And I will not by anything from someone with large tatoos/piercings showing off the garment (yes I'm prejudiced, kill me)

A jacket that I’d really like has been repeatedly reduced, my favourite brand, but the main picture is totally blurry! Bonkers.

Recent crackers I’ve seen include a very large lady with a frankly award winning chest size modelling the item she’s selling a very stretched top, clearly nothing underneath. No, no, I don’t want a hugely stretched top claiming to be my size but on someone approximately 5 dress sizes bigger.

You’d be really surprised how much those £2 items add up. I made £80 in a week before Christmas selling £1-2 kids’ toys

Where do you want it to be photographed?

I will admit to doing this! There's no option for perfect condition, very good to me means it's clearly used but still got plenty of life so this is the most honest way I can come up with. If it has been dry cleaned I'll say so and it goes without saying that it will have been washed otherwise. Only for items that genuinely have been worn once and priced accordingly (ie not as though brand new). I realise it might irritate others and open to a better suggestion that's still accurate.
