Vinted - So toxic!

[GorgeousPizza]

Just that really. Is it just me or has anyone else had a horrendous experience of Vinted? I sell a lot of baby, toddler and young children clothes, have done okay, never had an issue until this last week. It’s as if all the buyers have turned into massive CFs.

People asking to send straight after they’ve bought! Being called a C**t because their payment didn’t go through so they missed out on a well sought after item of clothing. People trying to scam, messages of abuse when declining ridiculous offers, and I mean ridiculous!

Think I might have to call it a day on there, but just wondered if anyone’s noticed this more recently or is it just me???

Agree. Haggling is part of the fun!

I have always found it easy tbh both as a buyer and seller.

Ebay is better

I’ve been scammed twice (as a seller) on Vinted so have stopped selling completely. The most recent scam was a buyer who called the brand new, boxed and unopened Haeckels body wash I sold him was counterfeit. I bought it direct from Haeckels (I even have the receipt) as part of my monthly subscription. No way is it counterfeit. He then said that the packaging is genuine but not the actual body wash. I offered a refund but he needed to pay postage but he got the massive hump that he’d have to pay and said I was being aggressive (?!). Haeckels then refunded him anyway and said they didn’t allow counterfeit items to be returned (it isn’t counterfeit!!) so I lost the body wash (retail value £39) and the money. It was the last straw for me. I’m done with Vinted.

You can report them if they are abusive.
I'm buyer so far. I've realised don't favourite anything otherwise you get loads of notifications.
