Selling on Depop and Vinted #10 Scruffy slags should bide their time, for this is Vinted, not Amazon Prime

[Clickbait]

Question for you more knowledgeable folk about the in-post lockers. Got a notification on Vinted and an email yesterday at 11:59 that a parcel I sent had arrived at the in-post lockers and was ready for collection by the buyer. I get a subsequent email telling me it’s arrived at the lockers this morning with the exact location of the lockers. Which is true? Did it arrive yesterday or today? Only ask because another buyer wanting it sent super urgently which meant I drove round the houses to find a locker and it wasn’t collected yesterday.

I'm in the freaks group but not the selling groups. It's some Tan Luxe glow serum which was actually part of a GWP which I want to sell as I won't use it. I think my listing was deleted as I had a mini sample and some Oskia Nutri-Bronze samples I was chucking in as I'm so pale all tanning stuff makes me look tangoed!!

If you can’t relist it then I would join the groups, tan Luxe sells well on there!

is it acceptable to ask for a reduction in price if something been listed for 6 days

Go for it

Can you change the postage option after you've sold or can the buyer do it? I don't want to cancel if I automatically get a bad review!

Buyer wants to switch to Evri.

No it can't be switched by anyone.

If you have five star reviews surely you know how the postage options work?

Oh I guess she could mean Royal Mail but this is a chunky clothing item so it’s not going to be £1.50 postage is it for the £3 item

 

[Lulu23]

Any recommendations for fb groups etc that you can post what you’re looking for ? I’m finding it soo hard to find any gems at the moment

 

[caremum]

Why write that and then sell on vinted.

I'm still in limbo, got a message last night that still hadn't received money but was trusting me and was going to post the dress but still asking me to ask for a refund.

I gave her the paypal transaction reference and said that she should contact depop support. No way am I risking going off app.

So I paid £50 for this hoodie - and it has arrived with a makeup stain and hairs inside. The seller has nearly 500 5* reviews but this was not mentioned or photographed on the listing. I’m really happy with it otherwise and I know it’ll come out in the wash, but it’s the principle. Where do I stand with this/what do you tidy tarts feel about this??? Thanks x

 

[anon123098]

yeah, i'm fine waiting it's just the send window! i've just realised that the seller created the tracking code 2 days ago... so do I have 5 days from then and not from when i bought it?


i liked a skirt that was about £4, before i could even consider buying it was suddenly £17, would've been £20+ in the end with buyer protection & postage.. i think they must've seen that quite a few people had liked it and decided to bump the price up

I THINK it’s 5 working days from date of purchase… am I right vinted experts?
Seller has just posted my item ‍

So I ordered something from vinted and it’s fake? What do I do? Request a refund? Do I need to return the items back to the seller? They have blocked me on vinted so I’ve no idea what to do

Why have they blocked you?

Have you already screenshot and sent the photo back to the buyer?

They can see it too in the conversation. It shows that it was delivered to a specific spot but not photographed where they left it.

How long do buyers get to collect their parcels before they are returned to sender?

 

[tichbourn]

Hi, I have a couple of pairs of ankle boots to sell but the boxes are long gone! Should they sell, what is best to package then in?

 

[knivesnflowers]

can someone pls take pity on me xx

 

[Tyla73]

I messaged the buyer after 6 days without collecting and she called me inconsiderate as she was busy she picked it up an hour later. Some people seem to think it's ok to leave until the 10th day to get it and not message you to let you know they will eventually pick it up.

Hmm. Not the way I operate myself, but not totally unsurprising .

 

[lavendervase]

I’ve sent a bag to someone and they’ve emailed me with their email address saying to get them confirmed otherwise they can’t collect the parcel? It’s a 3 figure item! Has this happened anyone before?

 

[shhh1712]

Why won’t they let her have it?

When I went to collect an evri parcel last week from a shop they wouldn’t let me show just ref I had to show my ID as well, could be why?

 

[Lukeskywalker20]

Don’t think fragile stuff is allowed as too much risk of breakage/scams. Mugs are tho?

Ah okay. I only listed as there were loads of other similar bits. Never mind. At least I don't have to post it

 

[waffleberry]

She’s now got the Vinted tech team looking into it! So I now don’t now if I can delete it! Will it look odd if I do, I now can’t block her as that will look odd! Honestly sum people, just let it go!

I'm sure If you deleted the listing, they wouldn't know that you haven't just sold it elsewhere
Is the item reserved? If not than anyone should still be able to purchase it - maybe get one of your friends to buy it?

we’ll this very odd so they av just sold to someone else around the same location but apparently not her!

Oh! Lol nevermind fingers crossed it was a tidy tart and all goes smoothly!

I bought some boots about a week ago and had a message from the seller at the weekend to say there'd been no available lockers but she'd try posting again. I replied and said no worries, these things happen. They're still not sent. I don't want to be a PITA, but I also don't want the sale to be cancelled!
