Am I in the wrong here as a seller (Vinted)

I sold a set of 2 babygrows, new with tags. I sent the lady 3 babygrows as I had another one to hand, good as new, same style

She has left feedback to say 'Not what I asked for - I didn't buy 3!'

I messaged her about this. I thought maybe she thought she'd ordered something else?

She says 'if I order 2, I expect 2'

Woman number 2 - Feedback left says 'described as new with tags, tag missing! Buyers beware'

I messaged her about this, asking what she meant? It was new with tags. It was even sent with its hanger.

She said 'yeah but the tag has the price bit missing. It has that in your picture. It was a gift and I wanted the price but'

Am I really in the wrong? What do I do? Sad this is the second and third time now with these buyers (all different women).

The other time, about a month ago, I sold a coat. The woman said it was damaged. She then sent me a picture of it covered in purple paint!!! I was gobsmacked

Luckily, for whatever reason as how could I prove it other than my immaculately picture?, Vinted sided with me and she didn't get her refund

Person 1 was just mad
Person 2 plain awkward
Person 3 scammer

No you weren't in the wrong

Wow, who complains about getting something for free?! I think you've been unlucky, I've had a busy few months with Vinted and have never come across anyone like that. 1 or 2 things have been in a slightly less good condition than stated but other than that no issues. Try not to let it put you off, I'm sure there are nice customers out there just waiting to find your things.

I've been busy too! High five :D and most people are lovely! Or if not lovely just normal people with nothing nasty to say

They sound mad & trying it on! I love Vinted. Much better than eBay. I've bought lots - most great, but if too big, too small I just resell. You tried to do a kind thing with that extra baby suit too.

Wow how rude are these people! I had an issue on Vinted the other day. I bought a jumper, it was a bit late in delivery but I knew about Royal Mail strikes. Seller communicated throughout yet somehow I got a refund I hadn’t requested, I immediately messaged the seller and instead of a faf, we agreed I’d transfer the money.

some people are ungreatful, some are rude. I had a really positive experience and I’m sorry you’ve come across some rotten people.

Just got into Vinted - prefer to eBay to and unfortunately you sound like you had bad luck with the women. So far I have had good experiences other than a seller cancelling an order.
