To ask when you receive an item from Vinted, you don’t click ‘Accept order’

Not how it works. If you’re not that happy with the smell I suppose you can return. Once you wash, it’s no longer ‘as advertised’ as a wash can do some damage etc. you wash after you accept the item.

It's 2 days

That's all

2 days which may have a good reason

You shouldn't be relying on Vinted payments to make up that much desperation.

I very rarely open my packages (usually get them to a locker) immediately so there is always going to be a short delay. I do always do it the same day though.

I hate the way the app itself sends you the reminder and email to accept the offer literally the moment you collect it. No-one is able to check and confirm everything is okay 35 seconds after getting the package in their hands!!

Lots of online shops resell returned items. "New" doesn't mean clean and not worn...

tbh I often don’t manage to open the package until days later for one reason or another. In the events I open it soon after receipt, I do press ‘accept’. When i sell, very few people press accept promptly as well (maybe 1-2 in 10) so it’s not just me.

@YearlySubscriptionRenewal Im privileged in that £2.50 today or Friday doesn't make any difference to me but I don't really buy the below. As a seller you can't really chose how fast an items sells so you could be waiting days regardless for people to actually buy your items.

"It might be "only" 2 days for you. For someone else, it's selling what they can because their kids need shorts or any kind of clothes, and they can't buy them until you release the funds"

Because it does it for you, sometimes the item stays in the post box for a few days.

Because I dont always have time to open the parcel straight away.

I didn't know you could get it sooner tbh

@Cherrysoup It genuinely doesn't bother me if I get it a bit earlier.

I do my best to always click 'accept' as soon as possible, and normally I have it done within 20 minutes. However, on two recent occasions I have picked up packages from Inpost on the way to work. When I got home, checked the item and logged on to Vinted, I found I'd already been sent snotty messages asking why I hadn't clicked 'accept' yet!

If you wash it then you can’t return it anyway so you may as well release the funds.

Check your privilege.

they should use fb marketplace or take it to a car boot sale. If it was that easy to sell on marketplace and carboot sale, don't you think people would do it?

It might be "only" 2 days for you. For someone else, it's selling what they can because their kids need shorts or any kind of clothes, and they can't buy them until you release the funds.

No need to try to be so superior and arrogant, if you buy second hand things on vinted, you are no better than anyone else. You are just lucky that these £2.50 (sometimes multiply by several items) are not something you need.

I can't decide if your reply is pure CF or just plain nasty.

So I have £103 pending, if buyers click a button I would get money sooner?

Am I the only one who likes getting parcels and opening them?

Yes, but I wouldn't open them in public & sometimes you just distracted. I had an Amazon delivery yesterday morning but only opened it a few hours ago because i've been busy and out of the house.

Things like Vinted show how quirky some
people are!

I usually collect my parcels on my way to take the kids to an after school activity and don't get an opportunity to open and inspect them until the following lunchtime.

I always inspect thoroughly and in good light as I've been caught before so not going to do a rush job.

I'm also a vinted seller so I do understand, but I'd rather not be stung.

I have bought a couple of things on Vinted and I have no idea what you’re all talking about! I assumed I just paid and that was it.

I might use Vinted a bit more often if their website wasn’t so appalling. I get sick of backing out of an item and having to scroll through hundreds of things I’ve already seen to get back to where I was.

It's annoying but about as annoying as sellers that wait until the last possible day to send something. It's people that don't collect parcels for a week that really annoy me. I have one that was delivered 8 days ago and still not been collected. The last one that wasn't collected ended up coming back to me, but the payment went through. No idea what actually happened! I collect the same day if possible as I get it delivered to a shop and always feel bad if I don't. They keep them behind the counter and somedays it's a gigantic wall of parcels.

Well any shop has likely had someone else’s body in the clothes, people try stuff on.

It’s not a stretch at all. You’re a first class CF. You can look clothes over perfectly well without washing first.

I have mine delivered to work so that I don’t miss the delivery (work has 24h reception) and will only collect it when I’m next in the office. I didn’t realise there were consequences for sellers although waiting 48h doesn’t sound that bad, you wait longer in A&E.
