Good condition...except for...

Browsing on vinted and filtering according to condition and I'd say it's so subjective, but it's actually more like this is an outright waste of time.

Coming across more and more sellers who list better than the item can reasonably be described, with caveats.

If a jumper is full of holes and you photograph them and draw attention to them, what's the point of listing as good or better? It just wastes everyone's time. If they're looking for good condition, they're just not going to buy it because it will be possible to fix.

No offence as I mean this in the nicest way possible...but who cares?! You're using vinted because you're getting heavily discounted fashion items that may or may not have been worn previously, not because of the users strict adherence to the rules and features. It's your job to filter accordingly to what you're looking for, and in my experience with these things you win some and you lose some!

I never use condition as a vinted filter for that very reason.

I agree with the OP - it's possible to list an item as satisfactory, which is what should happen if there are noticeable flaws but it's still basically useable.

I use the filters because it does give me some comeback if the item has flaws which weren't declared, but I don't buy anything with fuzzy/single photos - I want to see the item from all angles and a close up of the fabric.

You are not wrong! I find it funny though, that people think their decision to list it as good will make people not believe the photos...
