Vinted - not clicking all ok

[loveawineloveacrisp]

If a buyer doesn't confirm all ok and waits for it to default so that you have to wait for their payment, is it unreasonable to leave a bad review? I posted next day as well.

Ok, appreciate the feedback. Will just leave to auto review and say nothing.

You only have to wait 2 days for the money, you are very unreasonable.

Reading this has just reminded me why I'm glad I'm only a buyer and not a seller on Vinted!

It’s within the Vinted rules so you shouldn’t leave a bad review. This is similar to those sellers who expect you to buy their item just because they’ve accepted your offer. I had one message me about 2 hours after they’d accepted my offer saying “are you buying or what”. I’d actually just come back on to buy the item if my offer had been accepted, but when I saw the message I replied and told them I was just about to but had decided against it after seeing their message as it would probably be more trouble than it was worth. I’ve seen a load of sellers write in their profile that they expect items to be purchased if they accept offers. That’s not how it works.

Sometimes the item is not as described but it's not worth the aggro to complain. Sometimes the item is delivered whilst you're away. Sometimes the item is fine, but people have jobs etc and cannot expend all of their time and mental and emotionl energy on Vinted-related matters.

I always click all is ok as soon as I’ve checked it- but unless you know you need to do it to release the funds sooner I get that people don’t. I assume the moneys gone out of my bank once I’ve bought something, so in the buyers defence they could think that it’s already gone so seller must have been paid

But why make an offer if you don't actually want the item? Genuine question.

Meant to click yabu

So for me - I ordered two tops separately via InPost two weeks ago- Assumed one had been lost as it had been stuck in transit for over a week. The other one the person kept saying they'd send it and then kept delaying right up until the last day they could (despite knowing when I sent my offer two weeks ago that I was looking to have it before the 7th as that's when I was going away). Naturally within two hours of leaving for holiday both tops magically arrived at the lockers. Had to get my friend to collect them so that they wouldn't end up being sent back. It's possible depending on traffic but ultimately unlikely to be home tomorrow before the 48 hours to confirm that they're ok and release payment passes. If someone left me a bad review for this I'd feel upset. I also always post same or next day as purchase, but I'd never dream of leaving a negative review based purely on waiting 48 hours for payment.

No you can't do that. Vinted terms do not require that buyers must click OK, that's why you will get your money anyway even if they don't.

Sometimes I’ll make offers to a few sellers who are selling the item I want and I buy from who accepts first. Sometimes the seller accepts the offer after I’ve already found an alternative which has been listed in the interim. And sometimes I mean to buy it but get distracted, and since I’ve cleared the notification I forget about it. Vinted offers aren’t binding and much as when I sell I hope every offer acceptance is converted to a sale, that’s not the way the platform works and there’s no point getting annoyed at buyers for using Vinted how it’s set up to work.

I was unable to click “all ok” until the last possible day as the parcels were delivered while I was away. Not everyone is sat there waiting for the item to land.

I’m a seller and a buyer - YABU.

I click that things are OK when I’ve checked that they are. Sometimes I can’t do that immediately (I might not be home). Sometimes, it’s just not going to be a priority - just like presumably you didn’t scurry off to post it the moment it got bought.

That's like the equivalent of people writing LEGALLY BINDING on Facebook statuses 😂

I know OP has said they'll leave it but I don't really get what the issue is. I buy and sell on Vinted, most items are what, under a tenner anyway? Not dependable income as others have said and it's released in 2 days anyway, automatic good feedback given. I'd understand it more if it was a designer item selling for over a hundred pounds or something. But even still not worth the bother of a bad review and waiting 48h

Sometimes I make an offer but by the time it’s accepted I’ve found and bought something else instead.

Completely unreasonable. I buy from Vinted but work away a lot so DH picks up the parcels for me. I might not actually open the parcel for another one or two days. Often the sale auto completes before I even see the item.

Sometimes I just change my mind. Maybe I find another one that’s even cheaper, maybe I “cool off” and decide I’ve already spent enough that week so will leave it for a bit.

i sell quite a bit and get my items offered on all the time, I’d say only about 20% of those I accept turn into immediate sales. I wouldn’t dream of getting the arse with someone if they didn’t buy it. If you do that you’re effectively killing the sale.

Well I don't leave reviews or click all ok where I've had to wash an item more than once to get the bad fabric conditioner smell off it or where it has an unadvertised defect.

I CBA to negotiate a discount or complain, but if they have sent something that reeks through the packaging or that didn't come with an advertised part, I'm not bothering myself with "just one click" either.

I also never read reviews, "caveat emptor" is all the review I need!

I'm not saying my system is the best - just making the point that we all have our own systems, so you can do whatever you want but you can't expect people to follow the set of rules you made up.

I often do that when I am not happy with the item but can’t be bothered to try and get a refund and don’t want the confrontation. So if it’s not as good quality as I would have expected from the photos or it smells damp like a charity shop. So they may well be trying to avoid giving you a bad review…

I don't always remember. I do try to.
If someone gave a negative review for that it would be unfair.

Vinted annoys me as it asks me to click ok as soon as I’ve collected it from the locker, before I’ve had a chance to open it! A reminder would be more useful a couple of hours later

The fact it asks you to click all is ok before youve even had a chance to open the package is frustrating. Like someone said a reminder function would be useful

If course it's unreasonable to leave them a bad review. You get your money either way, how does the buyer know you're in desperate rush to receive it?
This is like people who start messaging asking when you're posting items as soon as they've paid.

I only recently learned why this mattered! I just took it as another ‘leave a review’ type task and ignored it. Now I know that it sends the money I would do it. Bad review seems harsh.

Of course it’s unreasonable to leave a negative review! There could be all sorts of reasons why someone doesn’t click ‘ok’ immediately.
