Is it just me or are vinted shoppers getting worse with shocking offers?

I seem to have had lots of direct messages rather than official offers. Had a woman message me asking if I would sell a bundle of items total £62.00 for £15.00. I messaged back saying I'd accept £50.00 best price and the tirade I got back was shocking. She had like 2000 and odd reviews too. I reported and blocked her, knowing nothing will ever come of it.
I have had around 15 direct questions this week all similar, I don't know what's going on.
God loves a trier but my items are fairly priced already and I'm happy to accept genuine offers but these people are trying me. But 75/80% lower are just CF's.

Rant over 🥰

I asked because I have noticed people
list worn things as new which has confused me. Obviously they aren't to me or you but clearly this isn't obvious to everyone as it's so widespread...

I'm not questioning your seller tactics so you can relax 😆

Some sellers have a really distorted idea of how valuable a BNWT item is too. I’ve just seen someone list a £32 Zara top for £22. They probably think it’s a genuine bargain. But it completely fails to take into account that Zara can sell it for £32 because they have it six or seven sizes, and that buyers can return it or swap it for another size if they need to. Your market is much, much smaller as a Vinted seller - you need someone who likes that particular top in a size 12 and who isn’t that fussed about not being able to return it.

I might be tempted at a tenner. £22? Madness.

Exactly. Buying on Vinted is a gamble. You need to price in the risk factor for the buyer. It's also not a contribution to charity, which would influence my willingness to pay more in a charity shop.

I think people are daft in both directions, but if it’s not a reasonable offer, just delete, no need to reply and get into a exchange with an unreasonable person
