GBThe 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.

GBGood for sellers, bad for buyers, costed me money 3 times As a seller it's easy to use as it's easy to upload products although there is a large number of products you cannot sell for no good reason (eg yoga mats). For some reason items don't sell as much as on competitor platforms. As a buyer, however, it's a complete joke. You pay a huge buyer protection fee which doesn't protect the buyer as if the item is not as described the buyer has to pay to return it. You are completely dependent on the good will of the seller which can be none existent, and I have already lost money with them 3 times. The costumer support is non existent and they just send you automated messages that do not fix any problems. I would warn anyone against buying anything through vinted as it's very possible to loose money. I am thinking of keeping the account just to sell things and am not sure I will risk buying anything through them again, as I am effectively paying to protect scammers

GBA functional App to use for buying and selling A functional App to use for buying and selling. Its both automatic and customer service systems work out well. I had three items that were sold were lost via post. My buyers got their money back, and I got paid too, thanks to their protection plans. I received one damaged item, reported the issues immediately with photo evidence, the seller accepted the refund and paid the postage within Vinted App, so I sent it back to them just as they bought it from me, with my payment refunded in time after they had received the item. I wrote to customer service a couple of times as the app did not load. They answered pretty quickly and committed that they were trying to improve the app. Other issues, such as when similar but not the same products uploaded were deleted, were dealt with almost immediately when appealed. Overall, if one follows the procedures on Vinted, it provides fast, responsive, and enjoyable purchasing and selling experiences.

GBSome good some bad Love the idea of how easy it is to sell, however there does seem to be a lot of very obvious fakes. More needs to be done to eliminate these and there would be confidence for buyers. I have noticed at least 12 just this morning
