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 :(

Well living with it means not being able to find anything in my size when searching. So they won't be getting any purchases from me whilst it's like this. I also won't be listing anything either.

Agreed.
There is a great risk on both sides that buyers will find that any clothes they receive won't fit.
Vinted was complicated before, but it's unusable now.

Very frustrating. I’ve done well from Vinted over the last year and now it’s too frustrating to click on sizes 16/18 to find out it's a 16 which won’t fit me!

HedgeWitchOfTheWest · 11/11/2025 19:21

I’d be on board if they had the between sizes. I’m looking for 10-12s. 8-10 is too small, 12-14 is too big. Why can’t we have the in betweens?

Sent them another message and they’ve sent this so we gotta live with it!

Just ask for measurements, everyone else seems to 😂

Has it reverted to the single size categories for you?

It hasn't for me.
It's as chaotic as ever.

I have just been prompted to update the app and it appears to have reset.

It's fine. The problem is that the new system has retrospectively been applied to all of the existing listings. Anything listed in the last few days will be correct. I went through and adjusted the sizing on my live listings last night, and others will realise that they need to do the same if they actually want to sell.

Thanks for the heads up! Hadn’t realised

TheWytch · 11/11/2025 18:17

It is utterly broken.

I have a size 12 dress up there (and it's a small 12 too) but it is now listed as size 16-18! I have the size specified in the description and a photo of the size label but no one ever looks properly.

And how on earth one is supposed to find the size you actually want beats me. I hope this crazy decision is reversed sooner rather than later

Silverblue1985 · 11/11/2025 18:17

I’m not sure it’s any worse now than before, when Vinted had size 8 as an “S” when most brands put an “S” as a “10”. So I always had to look for S (Vinted 8) and M (Vinted 10) anyway and discount the “Ms” that where actually 12s and the “Ss” that were 8s.

Whereas now I at least only look for S (8/10) - and still discount the 8s, but at least don’t get any 12s anymore to also trawl through.

So, actually, while not perfect it’s actually working better for me now (though not on items listed before of course that haven’t been updated)

@Zippedydodah I would ask the sellers for a clear photo of the size on the label. That’s the only way to know for sure what size the item is.

henlake7 · 11/11/2025 17:53

I really don't understand how they thought this was more accurate.
I'm looking for a size 10, the seller is selling a size 10 and yet we both have to pretend a size 10 is actually a size12-14?

They thought the label on the actual clothing wasn't accurate enough!!?

Zippedydodah · 11/11/2025 17:52

I’ve just given after an hour spent trying to find a size 18 Seasalt tunic. I found three that were the right colour but the sizing was a ‘12, 16/18, L’
Wtf does that mean?
I have contacted the sellers, one says hers is a 12, one said it’s a Large, awaiting the third.

@SkinnyOatFlatWhiteForMePleaseso it’s very clear that plenty of sellers were not messaged in advance, or even afterwards, by Vinted.

I’m not saying otherwise, I’m simply saying I did.

BeverleyBrooks · 11/11/2025 17:43

I did get a message in my Vinted messages. I’ve just had to change the sizing on loads of my listings.

BeverleyBrooks · 11/11/2025 17:40

Beedeeoh · 11/11/2025 13:48

Those who think it's okay, do you not use specific UK sizes? I know I need a 14 for almost everything, I'm in the middle of the size so a 12 will be too small and a 16 too big. It seems impossible to search for a 14? Am I missing something?

Exactly the same issue for me. I want a 14! Not a 12-14 or a 14-16.

Trotula · 11/11/2025 17:36

My size 12 items were listed as an M
ans have now changed to a L size 14-16.
this is going to be a huge problem to buyers and sellers and cause issues when buyers receive the “wrong”
size and mark it as having an issue as not as listed.
I’ve contacted Vinted.
Here’s their unhelpful reply telling me
how to edit a listing.
reaching out 🙄
