Not in a great position with my finances so trying to sell extra bits on vinted to make extra cash for Christmas.
Sold a brand new bottle of perfume and it was delivered on Tuesday.
She was online since then every hour or so and didn't confirm delivery.
A hour before I was due to get funds released she claims it hasn't arrived.
Yodel tracking shows delivered,I have proof of postage,I spoke to yodel customer service who have checked and the drivers sat nav have showed delivery to exact location.
I'm gutted -it's £40 I need
I'm worried vinted will refund her and she has my perfume.
I've forwarded all this to vinted but not hopeful

Buyer hasn't replied to any messages either

Hope it gets sorted

Rumplestrumpet · 17/12/2022 06:15

Of course it's a scam. But if you have proof you sent it (which you do) then you should get your money, so don't worry about that.

You're right though, it's horrible to think that she'd get the perfume and a refund. I hate scammers

mrsbitaly · 17/12/2022 06:34

Yes your being scammed she tried to pull a fast one clearly. I hope you get your money back soon if vinted say no that would be appalling especially as its been delivered through the door I'm not sure what else you can do

sayalittleprayerr · 17/12/2022 08:08

Well good news she confirmed delivery earlier this morning.
No message or anything just confirmed she had received it.
Last thing I sent was the message saying I was sorry she couldn't find it and I would contact the police and start a theft investigation
...knew she had it all the long
Thanks everyone

CuppaAndABiccie · 17/12/2022 08:12

Excellent outcome 😃

BackInTheDales · 17/12/2022 08:14

That's great news, I'm pleased for you.

harrassedmumto3 · 17/12/2022 08:25

What a bitch if she is scamming you Angry
It's looking pretty likely if she's ignoring your messages.
I hope it gets resolved in your favour.

1dontunderstand · 17/12/2022 08:26

Well done you

Heyhoitsme · 17/12/2022 09:58

My friend recently sold 4 new perfumes. The buyer came back saying "these are not genuine, what are you going to do about it?" I know my friend was very stressed about it. Just saying, there are scammers out there.

XelaM · 17/12/2022 10:02

Yay well done!!

Very pleased to hear this. Sounds like she caused you quite a bit of worry. Glad it’s resolved.

bringbacksideburns · 17/12/2022 10:15

Horrible person. Most people are lovely and genuine on there. Has she got any reviews on there or stars? I would award one star. Say took ages to confirm she had received. Glad you finally got your money.

sayalittleprayerr · 17/12/2022 10:40

I was going to leave 1 star review but then she will then give me a 1 star review
I have over 100 5 star reviews so would hate for her to make people think I'm not a good seller.
I wasn't going to sell again but then I thought why should I let 1 out of over 100 nice people stop me selling bits and bobs

good for you op-vinted should ban her really for lying but they probably dont really care

TheWeeDonkeyFella · 17/12/2022 14:12

I'm pleased you got a fair outcome OP, the buyer does sound like a scammer. I think you should give an honest review to save other sellers going through what you have though.

I've never used Vinted but have bought lots from eBay over the years. I always check feedback but one negative review from a hundred positive would not put me off the buyer.

CrazyLadie · 17/12/2022 15:04

sayalittleprayerr · 15/12/2022 11:46

Vinted have replied saying
"Yes we can see it's delivered to address but you can't show proof buyer has it in their possession-maybe they weren't home and it was left in safe place"

What can I do about that ?
Anyone could just claim they haven't received it

Then you need to go to Yodel and get proof of where they left it, if handed to her they should have photo of parcel I'm the open door way. If not then it's their responsibility and I would put in a claim against their insurance as they are responsible for it till they put in on the customers hands.

Harperweek · 18/12/2022 09:28

Glad it’s resolved OP. You could not leave feedback and just let Vinted do it automatically.

You can reply to the feedback and explain shat happened on vinted if she does do that.

Strangeways19 · 19/12/2022 07:39

She might be trying to claim non receipt but did receive it but it won't matter because you'll get your money back from vinted. Happened to me with them once & they're really good with getting it sorted
