Personally I love buying and selling on it

It all seems such a lottery. There is a blazer I have been stalking. Seller has 5 stars. Was about to buy when I saw that recent reviews are less than pleased, so she has suddenly changed personality. I don't have time to faff around with refunds.

I used to love it, but lately it's pissing me off. For instance, I bought a pair of boots 3 days ago. They've been listed for 3 months. The seller hasn't even "been seen" for 4 days so the sale will probably be cancelled. Last week another sale was automatically cancelled as the item wasn't posted. If they haven't got it any more just let me know and delete the listing. That way I can look for something else.

This is really annoying but before I purchase I always make a point of looking at when the item was listed, and if it's longer than about 3 or 4 months ago I message the seller and ask if it's still available. If they don't reply I just don't buy it and move on. It saves a lot of aggro!

I've bought alot of clothing items on there.
For the most part, I love Vinted, but there have been a few instances where the item wasn't as described, such as fake tan on trainers and items that are alot more worn than the 'very good' category that they were placed in.
I have been able to get returns on some of these items, but unfortunately you can't guarantee it.
I'd say my experience has been a 8.5/10 overall.
