To not understand vinted

[Usingthisone]

Most of the listing info is rubbish (worse even than ebay), you can't see the pictures properly unless you click in the item, it doesn't actually seem particularly cheap and to top it off, I did buy something but can I find it anywhere on my profile now? Nope. I've spent 30mins googling how and I still can't find it. I know it's geared up for sellers, not buyers but surely being able to see what you bought is vital? I think this will be my first and last foray.

Considering millions of people use it successfully every day, I’d say you’re the problem here

do you find apps and technology difficult in general?

OK then. Tell me how I can find my bought items? As I said I've spent 30mins googling and I am far from the only person to gave this issue.

Did you actually buy it? Or just have an offer accepted?

If you're using the app, click on the Profile tab and select My orders. It should show up there.

Profile --> my orders

Profile -> My Orders

Happy to share my experience of buying and selling if you are interested

I have the app, is that what you are using?
Bottom right there is an icon for "profile"
And then I click on 'my orders' and then I can see everything I have bought. Does that work for you?

I've paid for it. :) I can only get to it via messages but as I've had a few messages it's a faff to find it.

Go to your inbox - it should be there. Btw I'm with you i don't get the vinted love - I've had a lot of issues with it buying and selling

As above profile then my Orders or click messages and they are there too

As above use the my orders section, or it should be in your messages.

I find it great- it depends how you use it I think.
I like it more than eBay as the price is the price- although you can make a sensible offer (40% off at most).
It depends how you use the search functions- obviously ones that are better photographed and priced to sell go quicker.

I'm not using the app. I didn't particularly want to download it until I knew I'd use it.
I've tried mobile and desktop view.

Look at your inbox

If you actually checked out a conversation starts there.

you might not have actually paid though as you also get an email when purchases are confirmed

the fact you’ve spent 30 mins googling this is definitely an indicator that your grasp on technology is the issue here

In my orders

I think its successful because the buyer pays postage and its so cheap. Also if you search there are many items that are still up to date and often still in the shops.

I’m struggling with it a bit as well. Have used eBay for years but feed up with the feed, so I’m trying to sell some stuff on Vinted . Nothing has sold so far.

If you price to sell it goes fast

Ive sold 100’s of items and all within 1-2 days of being listed. But I price realistically, many don’t

I find Vinted easy to navigate. I have the app though. I think the apps are generally better then using desktop.

If you have bought & paid for something, it will be in the ‘my orders’ bit.

I also find it very cheap - you just have to filter things. I’ve bought most of my maternity stuff on Vinted, hardly worn, for £2-3. I didn’t want to buy full price mat gear when I will only wear for 5/6 months.

It’s less faff then eBay too, imo.

My stuff seems to sell pretty quickly, but payment takes forever, especially if the buyer doesn't confirm they've received it.

I buy lots off of Vinted especially for my DD who is 4 months old as she grows out of things so quickly, I've also bought myself some bits off there and love it. Go to profile, my orders or messages to find your purchases. Once you get hang of it youll be hooked.

I agree. It is not at all user friendly. Sellers seem to take ages to notice they have sold things. Much less likely to actually ever dispatch the items compared to Ebay. And I also cannot see where my purchases are. I have clicked on profile as people say above yet it just says reviews or Wardrobe. Wardrobe seems to just be where you have items for sale. Can't see anything that says orders. Clicked and looked all over the place. I am using laptop. Maybe it is different on a mobile phone app. Who knows. Not a site I will make a habit of using.

You are very rude. The epitome of what is the downside of social media. You always make nasty, rude comments. I try and sympathise as I know some people have very challenging life experiences that make them like you and I am sorry for your troubles but really, try being supportive and pleasant. It is a much nicer feeling.

As per my other message to you.
Also, you say millions use Vinted without any problems. I would say many people sound like they do have problems too.
Some may be lacking a grasp on technology. You are lacking a grasp on manners. I know what category I would rather be in.

Yeah some really bitchy responses here on such a neutral topic! Ridiculous.
