Vinted

[HoliHormonalTigerLillyTheSecond]

Why oh why do some people get so offended when you make offers? Do they not get that it's the whole point? 🤣🙈

But eBay allows for fixed prices, whereas Vinted doesn’t!

I've just had someone want a bundle, for 3 items that were £1 each. So they've already got 20% off because it's a bundle, and then they've offered 25% off as well. So 3 very lightly used items that retail at over £30, she wants all three for less than £1.80? How's that worth my time to post?

It's ok to be offended when someone's being a cheeky arse.

It's not the whole point to me. I sell kids clothes for a few quid each. If you offer me £1 for my £2 listing it's not worth the trip to post it. The whole point of Vinted is to recoup some of the price I paid before I charity shop it.

I don't normally ask for discounts either. If its overpriced I skim over it.

£1 off a £5 item maybe if its been up for a while. But normally people who ask for £2 off a bnwt kids item for £5 loose out as it gets bought at full price.

I guess we all have different reasons for using Vinted.

I love it because it clears up space in my home, is better for the planet by recycling items and earns me a bit of change at the same time.

I wrap everything in carrier bags I already have and I've fixed my posting settings so that I only ever use the corner shop across the road from me. I show the barcode and they print the label.

It's so easy for me I don't care if someone offers me 50p. Sometimes I accept low offers sometimes I haggle - which can be fun!

I'll never join vibted because I loathe haggling!

I don't reply to offers. I have already listed 'my best price' and anything less isn't worth the hassle. I also don't make offers as the things are cheap enough already generally.

I think it's okay to make an offer if something is expensive and has been listed for a long time - clearly no one was willing to pay full asking price.
A seller isn't obliged to accept - you can refuse and then the potential buyer can either pay what you've asked or move on.
If I don't sell something on vinted I'll eventually put it in a charity shop, so it's still being recycled and someone will benefit.
I wouldn't make an offer on an item that I considered to be reasonably priced - I think that's just cheeky.

Well of course you don’t have to acknowledge offers - that’s your right. But you can’t be annoyed at people for making them when you chose to list on a platform that doesn’t allow fixed pricing.

Also from a lazy point of view my nearest charity shop is a bus ride away. The shop across the road to post Vinted items is much more convenient
