with the sizing change. I buy 95% of my clothes from vinted. Just tried to look for a new coat and its too stressful. I don't think i can use it like this :(

I don't want to buy from the US nor post to the US. I also don't want my search results quadrupled in size.... it's already difficult to wade through all the search results sometimes... Hopefully we'll be able to easily filter out US products, or the site will become unusable.

It's good for my bank balance as the page that used to recommend things I might like based on previous saves and sales is now only showing my leopard print bags!! Not sure why as it's not something I've ever searched for before! But at least I'm not being tempted to buy things I really don't need!!

Agree. I was a speculative scroller and tend to just scroll the recommended page. I would often add half a dozen things to my liked page (the heart) and then buy one or two items within a few days of that.

There's nothing coming up on the recommendations that interests me at all.

I feel for the sellers as I'm not so much voting with my feet and staying off because of being grumpy about the changes, there's literally no functionality that makes it usable for me at the moment.

Edited to add this is the part of the month when I would usually be buying. The bills have gone out, my petrol tank is full, I have more idea of how much cash I have until the end of the month.

Exactly - for a 10-12 like me I will be
presented with sizes 8, 10, 12 & 14. But tonight I cannot filter for any size apparently 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’ve been having issues with the filters too. Really weird.

CatsMagic · 15/11/2025 23:04

It looks very much like Vinted is also going to be selling shite made in factories by slave labour ….. which totally seems to defeat the purpose of the site really.

FTHC · 15/11/2025 21:25

Fortunately only had 3 clothing items listed so I could edit the sizes quickly.

I've always included a photo of the sizing label on listings and stated in the title / listing too e.g. Next Jeans size 14.

I recently bought a dress that was listed as XL /14 (old sizing option) and it's a size 22 as I didn't think to ask for the label size 🤦🏻‍♀️ shame as it's a lovely dress too 😮‍💨

I’m a tiny bit grateful as I was going to try to buy no clothes in 2026, but I’m often tempted that Vinted doesn’t count - but I think this will give me the push to succeed including second hand clothes!

CryMyEyesViolet · 15/11/2025 20:56

But that shows why the going forward position is untenable. I’m a size 6-8. I never need a 4 and never need a 10 - but there’s no way to filter those out now. I never had any issues finding the right size before, but now even when the listings update I won’t be able to search efficiently.

SkinnyOatFlatWhiteForMePlease · 11/11/2025 13:55

Because the sellers haven’t updated their sizing as requested by Vinted. Here’s the conversation chart. Anything uploaded in the past few days and moving forward will be correct, anything prior sellers were asked to edit.

Now looking for a jumper, try to filter for size and get this. WTAF is going on??

I can't use vinted anymore
TheWytch · 15/11/2025 18:23

I've just added a paragraph to my profile that I will not ship outside the UK.

I've edited the few listings I still have up but given up trying to buy at the moment. I will not be buying from the US. That will be nothing but trouble.

@VanCleefArpels sounds like a complete shift in business model. To me Vinted is mostly cheap and cheerful, I've never paid more than £50 and usually less than £10. I have no interest in purchasing from overseas for that type of low value item. It seems like a really bad decision on their part but I suppose time will tell.

Couldn’t agree more - why would I buy something from the US? Who sets the exchange rate? How would already difficult returns process work? This is so far removed from the original ethos of Vinted.

ContentedAlpaca · 14/11/2025 18:22

I'm not interested in overseas items. I know the sizing of our UK brands and have no wish to dabble in unfamiliar brands

VanCleefArpels · 14/11/2025 16:39

I got a message on Vinted today saying they are showing international items from now on. THAT is why they have done this. I have zero interest in waiting for things to be shipped from wherever. It will completely ruin the experience, where you feel like you are “swapping” clothes with someone rude who’s had a bit of a clear out (and yes I do know there are some professional resellers). I’m gutted at this, I’ve used Vinted almost exclusively for a few years now as seller and purchaser, in order to prevent things going to landfill.

Blondeshavemorefun · 13/11/2025 14:36

I wonder why vinted did this

I’ve been buying all my clothes off temu new - they fit well and wash and wear well

Blondeshavemorefun · 13/11/2025 14:32

TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne · 12/11/2025 20:41

No, you search for size 12.
Then you check that the seller has photographed the label of the garment. You ignore whatever size Vinted has put.

Thank you

and ditto what @SilenceInside said

SecretNameAsImShy · 13/11/2025 13:05

Anyone got any suggestions for a suitable alternative site. I've looked on Depop but that's not much better.

AngryBird6122 · 11/11/2025 14:14

WHY DO PEOPLE DO THIS ON MN? (CAPS TO GET ATTENTION SORRY) GO ONTO RANDOM THREADS AND THEN BASICALLY BULLY SOMEONE - NOTHING TO DO WITH THE TOPIC AT ALL, JUST TO HARASS OR TAKE THE PISS? NOT JUST ONCE BUT OVER AND OVER. BOREDOM? USED TO BE A BULLY AT SCHOOL AND NOW NEED A FIX? OR JUST PLAIN NASTY?

They might not have picked up on the sarcasm tbf.

GargoylesofBeelzebub · 12/11/2025 23:36

I’ve been looking for a coat but have given up as it’s impossible.

Wtf? Ive just looked and my size 28 dress listing has changed to 8xl uk 48! What? A size 28 is now xxl. Sorry but I would never ever buy a 3xl dress as I know it wouldn't fit! What a joke!

Trotula · 12/11/2025 21:35

Totally agree @Imgoingoutforawhile
I only want a size 12 and having to trawl through every 12-14 listing is a real pain. I always state the size in the title of my listings but unfortunately not everyone does so it’s a case of checking through the details and/or the photo. Even with the size in the title it often doesn’t show in a search.
Frustrating!

Theonlyfatmiddleagedwomannotonmonjaro · 12/11/2025 21:33

Being thst Vinted has been around X years and the new sizing 3 days 80% plus items are in the incorrect size category.
Mix that with the sellers thst have started to change over to the new system and sellers listing since Monday.....its an absolute mess.
There is no way to search for a size 14. I have everything from a 12 to a 24.

Its an absolute shambles.

TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne · 12/11/2025 21:14

I've sold nothing at all since this shitshow started.
I'm not even getting anything favourited at the moment. It's like the site has ground to a halt.

Plump82 · 12/11/2025 21:13

I've been on tonight and I'm not even getting the option to search by size.
