Vinted, sizing has all changed, they cannot be serious!

[CrackOfYawn]

So Vinted appear to have just changed all their sizing. All my listings are now wrong. So ie all size 14 tops which Vinted previously made you list as XL are now showing as XL 20-22!!!
Ok so I get that their S/M/L/XL brackets were pretty skewed before and this is probably much more accurate but still, does this mean we have to go through every item and edit the sizing? Vinted is fast becoming a right pain in the nethers…

Not mine

There was another thread on this earlier today. It's awful

It has on mine too OP. V weird

There was a thread about this
just this morning! Hang on, i’ll find it…
not being the thread police, there were just a lot of other people feeling frustrated at the same time!

here you go.
sorry, I can’t do nice links.

I’m touching nothing right now in case it’s a mistake/glitch and it reverts back. There’s gonna be no end of confusion otherwise

Thanks for the heads up. How annoying! I’ll go and change mine but will also be careful when buying.

It’s permanent sadly

I wonder did this arise from people complaining that things were not an 8 / 10 etc upon receipt of the product and they are trying to cover themselves. I always ask the seller what size it leans as there is so much variability. I still feel very uncomfortable with this new format though. It doesn’t sit right with me for some reason.

Mine is the same. I always put the actual size in my listings anyway so I won’t need to change anything.

I just noticed this

Annoying for people with listings but a 12 is more like an M in shops so I think it’s better this way. I’ve had to change my profile to match the new sizes.

I’ve got about 150 items listed that’s a whole lot of editing, poxy Vinted 😭

The sizing was a mess anyway. I have yet to find something that fits on there.

"Vinted users lash out over sizing changes"

So do I buy people won’t look.
My listings are a 14. If you looked at my things now they are listed as 20-22.
I tried looking for a 14 item today , all came up as 20-22 or 16-18.
Also no 12,14,16 all 12-14 , 16-18 etc. and what does L /XL mean ? All brands are different.

Me too!!!

My algorithm is all out of whack too. So I used to search for M/10, now I'm being shown clothes in a 12-14.

This is horrendous and probably the final straw for me . The site is awful. Posting and lockers all over the place. Money being held in pending. What has happened to Vinted ? It’s like they’re deliberately trying to destroy the site

Not sad, it’s a great change. It’s making numerical and letter sizing much more consistent.

Yes, because there’s no way a 10 is a Medium (as it used to be categorised).

Agreed. I’m off to eBay. Any other sites ?

That’s a slog in fairness, I had to change about 10!

I think you will if you want your items to be searchable by buyers because what's happened is they've kept the S, M, L, XL, etc then changed the numbered sizing that was next to it. What was XL/12 is now showing as XL/20-22, which means they've chosen the wrong bit of the size category to keep and loused up the rest of it. The new sizing shows as across two UK clothing sizes for women's clothing. It is nuts.

They appear to give no shits about their customers.
