I like Vinted but I've had some… I like Vinted but I've had some unpleasant experiences where support wouldn't help. Eg. receiving an item which was not as described (even when asked on private message), support teams says me as a buyer need to pay for postage and then I had to wait a week for the seller to confirm they got their parcel so I can have my refund. Eg 2 buyer did not pick up their parcel which was then sent back to me and I had to wait a total of 4 weeks not knowing where my parcel was and what was going on. Eventually had it delivered broken and there was nothing I could do eg 3 Listings being deleted with no reasoning ???

The concept is brilliant for both… The concept is brilliant for both sellers and buyers. If you are lucky enough to not be “targeted” by AI, all good. The second you have an issue though, customer service is not that great. You mainly “converse” with bots and only after several emails and messages, an actual employee gets dragged into conversation. If your account gets suspended or permanently deleted there is no way back. You could spend the next 30 years sending them emails to prove they were wrong, cuz there is no coming back on the bots’ decision to close the account. That being said, Henry from customer service was very polite, even though he could not reverse the almighty 🤖 decision to close my account. Also, if you do have your account closed, they at least allow you to recover all the money you had in your Vinted account, hence why they get 3stars

To much shipping cost, otherwise great I love everything about Vinted except one thing. The shipping costs too much! Whenever I find something with a good price that I like. When I go to shop now th shipping costs more than the item itself. That’s crazy and they take buyer protection fee too

well well, good that they are doing the business for sustainability and stuff but whenever I pass by their headquarters in Vilnius, so many employees drive in and out with a diesel car or a crazy Ferarri.. whatever car that looks kinda bad for their environment. which I think it's a bit funny. Also whats with the buyer protection fee? Whats the rule?? 1 euro protection fee for a 3 euro shirt with 3.14 shipping fee???? So high compared to what I buy and shouldn't I at least be able to select if I want to be protected or not?

The Wild West of online selling The Wild west of online selling. A minefield for buyers. Lots and I mean lots of sellers dumping stained, shrunken or damaged clothing claiming in good condition & then sellers expected to pay return postage despite this. Loads of scammers. A very high proportion compared to eBay. Got scammed twice in short succession. On top of that most sellers are very flaky and don't reply to messages. How do i know if its going to fit without measurement's grrrr and then there's all the stuff that is just left listed whilst sellers go awol. Cranky platform often slows to a crawl on the phone app and some strange mechanics. I actually got temporally suspended for posting 3 mssgs too quickly. Very poor system for registering problems and complaints with very few options to choose, so some common issues can't be directly dealt with. My worst online experience with anything...terrible but if you can weather all that there are some great bargains. Not for the faint hearted.
