What puts you off about people’s Vinted profiles and profile photos?

[Annoyance]

Someone faved one of my things and their profile photo was a bit weird, like deliberately being a bit “out there”. They have good reviews but there’s something about it that’s setting my red flags off even though I can’t explain why.

I also hate couples photos. I want to be sure of which person I’m selling to, especially as I’ve sold a couple of bras.

I’ve seen someone who wore their clothes for sale in the sale photos, but their profile photo was of a completely different person.

You don’t have to use a photo of yourself at all, mine is just a photo of some clothes, but if you do, make it a normal one that won’t confuse people.

Also get put off by people with overly long-winded profiles where they write paragraphs of stuff about how they’re a 5 star seller and what they will do for you every step of the way etc.

Couldn't care less what people's photos look like. If they've got 100+ good reviews then I'll buy from them.

I quite like it if someone has bothered to put up a pic and a brief bio, but it's not a dealbreaker if they haven't. I guess I find it a bit weird if the picture is quite a "sexy" one and they're just selling kids' clothes or sensible cardis from Edinburgh Woollen Mill.

No reviews put me off.
I bought twice from two different people,
No reviews and they didn't send!

So now I only buy from people with a hefty batch of reviews and good ones at that!

Worse than no reviews is bad reviews of people not sending! Time wasters

I don't think I've ever looked at a profile on vinted, other than checking reviews of sellers. And I've bought & sold loads

I could not care less about photos. It's a selling site, not a dating site. I have a vinted profile and I have no photo of myself. Reviews are the important thing.

I've never even noticed or thought to check anything on anyone profile other than the reviews!

I've never checked a profile on vinted. Mine doesn't even have a photo.

I have never read a persons bio and I don't pay much attention to profile pics. My profile pic is my facebook picture, as I sign into Vinted with facebook.

Coincidentally my partner is in my profile pic and I've just bought a couple of bras off someone, rest assured they are for me. My partners moobs are more of a C cup.

The only thing I thought anyone paid attention to is reviews.

Multiple items that are the same...so like 33 pairs of jeans.

Makes me suspect they're running a business rather than selling old stuff they do t want.

Vinted will go the way eBay did and move away from the second hand personal market

I didn't even know people had bios on there! I don't even check feedback, I just buy things I like the look of if the price is right - if they don't send or there's a problem Vinted are really good at sorting it out.

I've never paid any attention to profile pictures or bios and I've bought and sold loads. My profile picture is of my cat - I hope nobody thinks I'm buying bras for him!

I don't mind who buys my Vinted items as long as the money's in my account.

Why do you care who you're selling to so long as they pay the money ?

One thing that is putting me off is when people message me after I favourite things. Makes me feel harrassed !

I couldn't care less about profile or profile pictures. I don't care who I'm selling to.

No reviews or few reviews doesn't put me off, that just means they are a new seller - which is understandable.

What does put me off is if they have negative reviews. Not so much for not posting - Vinted are good at refunding when the item isn't sent - but if they have negative reviews for the clothes being damaged or smelling of smoke or something.

The most off-putting thing is if the item itself is badly photographed. Blurry photos is an instant no. Vinted sizing categories can be weird too so ideally I like a photo of the actual clothes label.

Why do you care who you're selling to? Sets your red flags off?? 🤨

I have no profile photo, have sold loads, think I have 170 reviews.

I did sell some bundles of ski socks and got some seriously dodgy messages, won't be doing that again and I don't think I'd be selling bras. I certainly wouldn't buy a second hand bra, is that the angle you're getting at?

I also hate couples photos. I want to be sure of which person I’m selling to, especially as I’ve sold a couple of bras

but who cares who’s buying? If you’re selling and you’re being paid, what does it matter.

I don’t care who I’m selling to. When buying I’m wary of no reviews, weird usernames with lots of characters & numbers (often scammers) and where they’ve lots of new, branded items listed.

I don't tend to bother with pics (although enjoy reading some peoples long bios as mine is quite long ) but I do pay attention to reviews.

If I'm thinking of sending an offer to a buyer I won't to those who have consistently rubbish reviews as buyers as I want to minimise my own stress and hassle as a seller

Because she doesn't want to sell her used bras to some dodgy guy if she can help it
