To be annoyed that so many Vinted sellers just don't bother posting the item?

What annoys me is when I accept someone’s offer then they disappear without completing the sale.

I suspect they've gone on holiday and forgot to put their account into holiday mode. It's the time of year.

I’ve very rarely experienced this so maybe you’ve just had monster bad luck? That sounds particularly bad so no wonder you’re fed up.

If anything has been listed for months, I usually send an offer (just below sale price) if I’m interested to test if I get an actual response or not. But for more recently listed things, that’s really poor and sounds like sheer incompetence by the sellers.

I’m relatively new to buying off Vinted. I hope my stuff comes! I didn’t know this was a thing

I think you got very unlucky. I've had a few things not posted but a small fraction of transactions. Like you I check when they were listed and check availability if they were listed months ago. Plus it is holiday season, I had somebody not post last week because they were on holiday, great but why not turn on holiday mode so I'm not inconvenienced?

I’ve not had this happen to me, but I was recently trying to message someone who had a suit for sale that I needed in a particular size. The suit just said XL rather than exact sizing. No answer from my 3 messages over a week. As a PP said, there should be some kind of “are you still wanting to sell this item?” Update after a certain amount of time.

I actually think Vinted should prompt users if their item has been up for over 6 months… and then delete the listing if it’s been up for over a year to prevent these kinds of things happening.

I always check when the item was listed. If it was a long while ago, I’ll message the seller to enquire as to whether it’s still available. If there’s no response, I would leave it.

I had an item listed but didn’t receive any sort of notification that an offer had been made. I just happened to log in randomly two days later. I then didn’t get any sort of email to tell me they had bought the item and that I needed to post it.

This just happened to me, decent (but small number) of reviews, seller missed the deadline to send, I messaged and said if you want to re-list when you've got a chance to send, il buy it again, she sent an apology and re-listed and then didnt send it again! My own fault really (noone else has been selling that exact item in my size for ages, hence the 2nd try!)

Waiting on one to be posted today, it’s the last day of the postal window. Item was listed for 13 months! It’s not going to happen is it?

Strange, that's happened to me only twice over 100s of items bought on Vinted.

I always check when they were last on the site and also their feedback as there are a lot of dormant accounts where the seller has not been seen for ages, sometimes over a year or more.

Also a lot don't realise there is a holiday mode feature and they go on holiday and things sell as the buyer is unaware they are away and they come back to negative feedback and a missed sale.

It is really annoying - I haven't experienced it for a while but I did have quite a few items not sent a couple of months ago.
