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

GBThe 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

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.

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.

GBOK for buying OK for buying, but what price you see you need to at least double for fees and shipping, I have purchased some great items and if they fit that's great but if they don't you'll never make your money back or even cover your costs, I have sold a few items and all have been OK
