*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.

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.

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 ???

A 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.

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?
