Frustration with Vinted buyers

11 replies

I’ve uploaded a lot of stuff to sell, including some really lovely items.

a few buyers now have offered to buy a bundle and I select what postage and they never ever come back to me.

WTF is this about or am I being unreasonable with feeling frustrated. I don’t understand why they ask for a bundle and don’t buy it?

Is there a reason why they do this?

I try and lower the price for bundles see if that’s what it is but never get a response even message them asking if they want multiple items

I've had the opposite issue. I've requested bundles and the seller has ignored me! I think there are just some strange people on Vinted. I've sold and bought loads with, all things considered, minimal issues so I'll just persevere.

Okay it’s just been quite a few people now asking to buy more than one item and they never ever get back to me when I select the postage size for them.

thanks for getting back to me

They're maybe hoping that you'll offer a discount too.
Vinteds way of bundle discounts is stupidly complicated 😫

I think sometimes they don't know the full cost until you select the postage. Maybe once they know it and figure out what the whole lot costs they change their mind?

Hugbooo1 · 06/12/2023 21:36

I offer cheaper prices I really do and they never come back unfortunately

it’s just so frustrating

they never reply to my message either asking them what they are after

My frustration is the ones that review you like 3stars..
I've had one that put 3stars and "good".
Despite me showing extra pics, slight faults with the item were all declared and it was mainly an item to be used as a costume for an utter bargain. Oh and I posted 1hr after purchase.

@Littletinytarzanswingingfromanosehair I had one buy something off me at a cheaper price I accepted and demand that I post it in the next hour I haven’t dealt with somebody like that before

Really? They demanded that? I posted simply out of good nature as it was for an occasion.

Vinxiety is getting the better of me haha I'm always thinking what if they are not happy?? What if the delivery driver breaks it?.

I've had it a few times. I assume they don't like the postage costs. I never over size and often if I can fit another item in I will offer.

Hugbooo1 · 07/12/2023 18:54

Yes they did I don’t know what occasion it was for it was just a message saying can you post this asap and in the next hour

no please or nothing

it must be the postage costs maybe even though I always say small on the options
