WWYD -Vinted

[bluebeardswife7]

I bought a polo shirt for my son, bnwt, when it arrived today it looked clean and had its tags. But it smelled of washing powder. I messaged this to the seller whe messaged back to say it had been kept in the utility room next to the clean washing .

When I explained that was all very well but I couldn't give it as a gift smelling second hand, but I was happy to have it for a more reasonable price, her answer was, and I quote 'better it smells fresh than musty'

While this is true, I would rather it did not smell of anything at all. Would you chalk it up to experience, or fight my corner?

Lol I can’t work out if it’s a serious post!?!?

an item can be new with tags and still have smells from other things, depends if they brought it new with tags but eg not in a bag etc, so its technically as described in the listing new with tags.

that said, oh the horror it smells fresh

something seems a little to fresh about this

There's someone on Vinted with large numbers of M&S tops for sale, ranging in sizes from 10-14.
Described as BNWT but washed. Photos show the items creased which backs up they are washed.
I don't understand this. Seems suspicious?
