GB*BUYERS BEWARE* Unfortunately, all the reviews stating that the platform is great for sellers, but does not look after buyers has been my experience (and that of others I know). I had the wrong item sent to me, seller was apologetic and agreed to send the correct item once they’d received my return. Instead, they refunded and (with no explanation) blocked me. All of our communications had been pleasant and there was no reason for this, except I suppose to avoid the risk of my leaving a less than 5* review. My sister had a similar experience, buying a “100% cashmere” jumper that turned out to be a cashmere/wool blend and full of holes. She returned the jumper at her expense and, having had a full refund, was then not permitted to leave feedback. So, Vinted’s 5* sellers are often not 5* at all. And Vinted don’t seem to look after the interests of buyers at all. BEWARE! I won’t be shopping on Vinted anymore, unless they start offering buyers more protection and making dodgy sellers accountable. I am heading back to eBay.

NOTo 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

GBNot great for buyers I have previously had a really good experience with Vinted but recently, it's become more and more expensive to buy items. The 'buyer protection fee' is an absolute joke - you have very little protection as a buyer on the app. The final nail in the coffin was when I bought an item that was never sent. Using the help guide online I cancelled the order, in order to generate a refund. I have received negative feedback for cancelling (despite the help guide twlling me to do as such) but the seller has recieved no repercussions for not sending the item. I used to use the app all the time but this experience has definitely made me change my mind

GBBrilliant idea Brilliant idea, excellent app., very slick payment system and a satisfactory way to move on old or pre-loved clothing. But no 5 stars though. Let down badly by logistics. Evri and Yodel actually ok but Inpost very patchy which is a shame as the locker system is sublime. Less said about time wasting buyers who fail to collect the better.
