Vinted: invisible mending WWYD

[vitaminseal]

Very low stakes vinted question but I don't buy/sell there much so don't know the etiquette.

Bought a jumper, real wool. Politely bargained a bit with the seller and reached a price we were both happy with (about £25).

Looked good when I unpacked it so I clicked on the button to accept the order. However, the first time I wore it I discovered it has been invisibly mended (seam undone then sewn up).

You can't tell from the outside, only when it's inside out, so the jumper is still wearable.

Would you mention it either via message or in the review? I'm a bit pissed off that the item is not as described and may affect how well it wears but equally, it was a good bargain and I don't want to return it (assume it's too late to do that anyway).

I do try to leave reviews but wondering if it's best just not to write one.

I would just write a message to the OP to say what you noticed and should have been highlighted in the description.

£25 seems cheap for a real wool jumper so I'd assume the price reflects the mend, is it done well? What condition was it listed as?

Condition was Very Good with no mention or picture of the mend.

I think it's a good price too.

I guess I just don't know if it would be normal to raise something like this, or if that's me making a fuss where there doesn't need to be.

If it’s invisible I really don’t see the problem.

I agree the seller might even have forgotten about it x

I dont get the issue. It's invisible, not noticeable and can still be worn. You already got the price down for it.

Very good condition - invisible repair that’s done wel and can’t be seen while it’s being worn sounds like very good condition

Yes I agree with this.

I wouldn’t bother to say anything if you like the jumper and are going to wear it.

Thanks everyone for advice. I don't use vinted very much so very helpful to hear others' opinions.

I do wish the seller had highlighted the issue in their listing but I probably would have gone ahead with the purchase anyway so I will leave it and not say anything.

I think if that’s the case and you’re not looking for money off then I just wouldn’t say anything. There’s no point to that really.
