Vinted - can I cancel the sale

I put a pair of old trainers on vinted, not brilliant condition so put them on fairly cheap and expected to be knocked down a bit. They sold in a matter of about a minute. I had a browse at others that are similar and realised I had massively underpriced them. Would I be unreasonable to cancel the order and up my price? I realise I’d get a bad review. Or should I just go through with my sale

Yes you can do that. You just get an automatic 1 star review.

If they were bought so fast it will be a reseller who bought them anyway and will list them for more as soon as they get them.

If you do maybe just message the buyer and let them know you've realised you've priced them too low, someone did this to me before and they relisted the item for more than double the price. I was just pissed off they didn't at least message me to explain, I would have understood.

You win some, you lose some 🤷‍♀️ You’ll know better for next time.

Don't tell the buyer why. Just cancel.

If it’s the first time you’ve cancelled I don’t think you do get an automatic bad review. They’ll have been bought by a reseller who will make more money out of them anyway, so I’d cancel in your shoes (pun intended 🤣)
You can block the buyer if you don’t want them hassling you about why you’ve done it.

Jeez what is with these replies. No you can't cancel the sale.
You picked the price and they sold. You win some and lose some. Do more research next time.

Bit unfair. You don’t know it’s a reseller. Could be someone who had those shoes in their size set to be notified and grabbed themselves a bargain. If they are old shoes are they really worth much? What are they?

Of course she can. It's vinted, not a court of law.

Thanks for replies. They are Onitsuka Tiger ones. Seem to go for silly money. I definitely should have done more research

Yeh just cancel. The buyer will know why 😂 it's not entirely fair but meh, life's not fair eh. Cancel and relist for what they are worth!

Doitrightnow · 04/03/2025 09:22

You could, but personally I think one should honour ones sales and put it down to experience.

KittenPause · 04/03/2025 09:31

Just cancel and resell
