Vinted - just fucked up

Anyone else have issues with vinted? I encounter so many sellers who describe the item as “very good” or size 10. When it shows up the items is in terrible condition or the sizing is wrong.

if the seller disagrees with you, then as a buyer there is absolutely nothing you can do. Vinted doesn’t help, doesn’t make
judgement, just takes the ‘buyer protection fee’ and leave seller and buyer to scrap it out. Usually resulting in 0 stars going both ways, even if the buyer has done nothing wrong.

im getting really pissed off with vinted.

recently the site is full of scammers setting up for 24 hours. They sell designer stuff for odd low figures, like £3.68, and only
accept card payments. If you’re foolish enough to buy something, by morning they’re gone. Vinted policy states ‘WE do not take responsibility for scammers’! So again Vinted to fuck all.

also, you can’t sell period related products like new period pants as these are classed as ‘extreme items’. 50% of the population need period products but vinted think it’s extreme. What kind of messed up patriarchal BS is that?

I would never buy anything that was suspiciously very cheap or if the seller didn't have any reviews.

I have sold lots of items on Vinted but I find just lately that when people receive an item they suspend transaction saying something silly wrong with it - when I know this is not the case - they want me to refund them but now I’ve got savvy to this so I actually pay for the return myself and 75% of the time the buyer doesn’t return it (because actually there is nothing wrong with the item) - so annoy
