Vinted postage options

[RebelMoon]

Has Vinted changed something re postage options recently? As a buyer I always opt for Royal Mail delivery because I live in the middle of nowhere. I've tried to buy a few things in the last week or so and none of them had RM as an option. I had to message the seller. There has always been the odd listing that doesn't offer RM but it seems to be everything now. I've just looked at half a dozen random things and none of them had RM as an option. Is this a new default setting or something? Probably not worth me bothering with Vinted if it is.

As a seller, I have not set my options to include RM because the process is so much more of a faff. Buying the postage online takes much longer - I'd rather just print a label and whizz to a locker.

Yeah I get that @TankFlyBoss , there have always been some sellers that choose not to offer RM which is understandable but it seems to have defaulted to nobody offering it.

RM just aren’t delivering much in my area, I’m still waiting for a letter from 2 weeks ago. So I’m actively avoiding using Royal Mail for anything at all!

Whereas RM are great in my area, very reliable. And the only option.

Same as @TankFlyBoss RM is a PITA

I know some people choose not to offer RM, it was always thus, but suddenly it seems no listings have it as an option unless you contact the seller. So I was wondering whether Vinted have turned it off for everyone and they have to opt back in.

I don't think they've turned it off I just bought something yesterday that is coming by RM.

If it is a recent change then could sellers be boycotting due to the current scandal, maybe?

Maybe it's just a coincidence then that everything I've looked at in the last few days doesn't have RM as an option. Oh well, guess I'll have to look elsewhere then. Thanks all.
