Why do people make such stupid offers? Someone offered 70p less on an item yesterday! 70p. Is it worth it when it was only £2.50 anyway

Yes it’s very annoying. I wish Vinted had the option to turn off offers. What’s even more annoying is that this behaviour has spread to other platforms like eBay and gumtree. Even if you haven’t got offers enabled then they message you with an offer! This never used to happen pre-Vinted.

The entitlement really pisses me off.

I am so tired of people buying items from me and then demanding I post today or asap. Do people not understand that this is a second hand selling site and that sellers are ordinary people with lives and jobs? I’m not Amazon or Selfridges offering next day delivery for your £10 top! It grinds my gears!

Offers don’t both me. You don’t ask you don’t get. It’s people who make offers then don’t buy which is more of a slight annoyance

What is more annoying is people who make an offer, then when you accept it they don't buy it!

With regard to the low offers, it may be to ensure that the total cost does not go over a certain amount. Once you add on the buyer protection and the postage you could be paying more than double the original cost of the item.

It’s annoying. I think Vinted should allow minimum offer amounts as set by the seller. I hate time wasting offers!

They do it because there's a non-zero chance it'll be accepted and they'll get the item for very little expenditure.

It's not personal. Just engage with the ones you would consider and ignore the rest.
