I just need to get this off my chest, please bear with me.
Bought an item on Vinted, bargain price but you can raise any issues once you receive your purchase so I thought I'd see how it went. Item packaging didn't feel legit and I checked how to verify it was kosher. I then realised the listing photos were not of what I had been sent. That's against Vinted's rules as it must be the actual item you're selling. I let the seller know I wasn't happy, that I believed it was counterfeit and provided photos as required. Got an instant return request with postage label. No other communication at all. Wrapped it back up, took it to the InPost locker. It's been delivered to the locker at the other end, but the seller hasn't picked it up and is running out of time.
This is frustrating as Vinted have my money and it's not a fiver! The seller could just be someone who doesn't rush to collect, but I can't help feeling I'm being mucked around.
Does anyone have experience of anything similar? Presumably I can provide proof it was returned and they haven't collected. I want to report the seller once I've got my money back as I think they're effectively a business - not allowed on Vinted - and selling counterfeit goods.
That was long...
