Cancelling an order on Vinted

[SaffyWall]

Has anyone got any experience with cancelling an order on Vinted? I bought something yesterday and have realised I made a mistake. The seller hasn't been online since I bought it so hasn't seen that it's been sold, or shipped the item. I can see that there is the option to cancel the transaction - if I do this will my money be refunded immeadiately or is it a long, painful process? Thanks.

Yes it will, might be the next day but I had no issues.

Refund relatively quick, as I remember it, but you might get negative feedback automatically.

I cancelled an order within 5 minutes tonight- I hadn’t read the listing properly so my fault! I got a refund within 10 mins but Vinted do automatically give you a 1 star negative feedback!

Thanks - that's all very helpful information!

You don't get negative feedback for cancelling an item you have bought. The seller can only leave feedback when the transaction is complete. The other way around, the seller can get negative feedback automatically from Vinted.

It’s not the seller leaving negative feedback, it’s an automated Vinted thing. I have cancelled two items over my Vinted life - didn’t get it for the first one, did for the second.

(Mind you, I never really see the point of buyer feedback on Vinted anyway - by the time the seller knows the buyer exists, they’ve bought and paid for the item anyway, so their part is effectively done.)

I found the buyer reviews helpful when I started selling, obviously I had no seller reviews but a year long history of frequent buyer reviews that were all 5 stars and lots of great feedback.
