I was browsing vinted for a (BNWT) handbag to treat myself to for my upcoming birthday.
I came across this one (advertised with these pictures) for £35 and thought it looked lovely. The seller has dozens of positive reviews.
Well, the seller posted it out to me today and after she did she promptly sent me a message afterwards with a bunch of additional photos that weren't visible on the original advert.
It's absolutely shit quality and so flimsy. I would not have bought it with those images on there. The advertised pictures are misleading. She also told me she has sprayed it with antibacterial spray.
I asked why that was necessary and she assured me it doesn't damage the bag as she has sold this same bag 7 times and done the same with all. Apparently it's a spray for bags (?)
Long story short, I've discovered that she's buying them in bulk on Temu for under a tenner and upselling them for over three times the price.
Bags from Temu/Shein arrive smelling of strong chemicals (or fish!) so that's why she's claiming the BS about antibacterial spray.
I don't want a smelly temu bag.
Her profile states no refunds or returns.
Do I have a leg to stand on here and am I being unreasonable to raise a grievance with vinted?
WWYD?
