Vinted seller won’t send item because I was on holiday mode when I bought it

I found an Osprey 70l backpack on Vinted for £40. Obviously I bought it right away because it was an absolute bargain, I don’t think the seller really knew what they were selling.

They’re due to send it by today, but haven’t because I was in holiday mode when I bought the item. I’ve explained to them that I had been away, but I am home and had just forgotten to turn it off.

They’re saying that they don’t believe I’ll pick the item up so won’t be sending it. Obviously they’ve realised that they could sell the same item for £100 so don’t want to send it, but AIBU to think this an incredibly shitty thing to do?!

I think it's more shitty to buy something you know full well isn't priced correctly and then get annoyed when the seller realises and changes their mind as they are entitled to.

Honestly, only on Mumsnet 🤣
