Vinted vent: lost item 2 day reporting window

So: Evri lost this item almost immediately and it was flagged as likely lost right from the beginning. We have to then wait 30 days (or whatever it is) after which I had 48 hours to re-report for a refund. Annoying? Yes. Scammy? Yes, but I’ll remember, won’t I?

Except for the fact that I happened to have some very hectic and fraught stuff going on on those exact days (travelling, sick parent etc) and the one occasion I got a moment to do it my phone malfunctioned and deleted the entire thing right in front of my eyes.

I do understand it is in the terms and conditions, but in what world is it reasonable to hold onto your money for weeks and weeks and then give you such a tiny window in which to sort it out- surely they should just refund you automatically since they can see it has not been delivered?

Grrrrr!

Agree. I have been waiting on a package via RM to be delivered to RM boxes. The postman attempted several times but each time they are full/not functioning so now have to wait another 2 weeks to report item not received within a 48 hour window. Item is not really lost. Agree, it is scammy/sneaky of Vinted

Thank you for replying. My partner thinks I should initiate a chargeback via my bank, but I think they would probably ban my account if I did that. 😡
