I've been in this game long enough now to expect a Scruffy Slag pop up at any given moment, but really they still do shock me.
Buyer requests a bundle of baby clothes that should be £3. My bundle discounts take it down to £2.70. SS offers £2. I roll my eyes and accept. Then get: "thanks babe, can you reserve til friday x"

Really bothers me when people take photos of their items outside. Like I know not everyone lives in a mansion but do they really not have one decent, clean place they can get the photo?

You just know that whatever you say, it’ll be the wrong answer and they won’t buy! Why do people bother asking questions like these, it’s such a waste of time?!
Why do people just have bad vinted etiquette?!!
I've bought a bundle from someone after she badgered me on 3 separate occasions, received the stuff which was listed as new without tags...shock horror they're damaged! I don't want to dox myself by saying how but very clearly, gone back to the listing and in the description it says 'used a few times but like new' which I didn't actually see before I bought
Am I gonna have to send back at my cost now?!! Bloody annoying!

Awkward.. 🫣
(Plus it’s not new if it’s half empty!)
Ohhh really? I take pics outsideReally bothers me when people take photos of their items outside. Like I know not everyone lives in a mansion but do they really not have one decent, clean place they can get the photo?
Mainly because the lighting indoors is terrible and most of my clothes are dark/black and I can’t stand how it looks faded/grey in photos. I’d be interested if this is really off putting for others too.Vinted just isn’t worth it sometimes, buyer messaged me first thing this morning ranting because I haven’t sent their parcel they bought on Monday night 
Quoting myself to say yep I have to send back at my own cost...so it's going to cost me £7 for the privilege of going to the parcel shop to collect said parcel and back again to send it off, or I could of course keep a damaged item which I didn't knowingly buyWhy do people just have bad vinted etiquette?!!

what is this tit?!!I am actually quite active on vinted but I've never had this before, I can't get over that I actually have to send it back with how badly damaged it is and the seller listed it incorrectly! If I knew of the damage I wouldn't have bought. So annoyed!!
@RandomFrog ughh that's so rubbish! makes me mad that buyers are the ones that pay "buyer protection fee" yet aren't protected at all!!
I’ve seen some people complete the sale and do a chargeback through their bank so they’re not out of pocket. There may be a chance Vinted will block your account afterwards, but I’ve heard they only do that for repeat chargebacks. It might be worth a try?Quoting myself to say yep I have to send back at my own cost...so it's going to cost me £7 for the privilege of going to the parcel shop to collect said parcel and back again to send it off, or I could of course keep a damaged item which I didn't knowingly buy

It’s ridiculous that buyers have to pay for return postage when the seller has gone against Vinted’s listing policies. It means dodgy sellers can get away with anything, plus if you do return something, you can’t even leave them negative feedback - so the cycle continues. The buyer’s protection fee is just useless
Exactly! You think the buyer protection fee is great until you actually need help, it's actually a 'to use vinted' fee really isn't it?!
Ahhh thank you peekachu, I'm just going to be annoying, wait until the last minute to raise it again with vinted then if the resolution is that I have to send back I will not
it's genuinely not worth my time or money, I will just leave them a very bad review and hope it doesn't happen to somebody else

The buyer protection fee is to allow you to get a refund. Vinted use the loophole of private seller and private buyer therefore consumer law doesn't apply and technically no refunds are possible, so they claim the charge you for the privilege of them holding onto your money.
Posted a cardigan someone bought yesterday via evri. Received a Vinted update that the parcel had been received today but then got a message from the buyer saying she hasn't got it. She has a few hundred five star reviews.
What happens now - do I lose out? This hasn't happened to me before (I've not encountered any issues with vinted so far about 70 sales and purchases in) so I'm a bit clueless.

What does the tracking say? Next day delivery seems very quick for Evri, it might be an error on Vinted’s side. If the tracking history on Evri says it’s still in transit then you don’t need to do anything, just wait for it to be delivered.
If not, then Vinted will investigate the missing parcel, then refund the buyer and you should still be paid. It does take a long time though! Hopefully it’s just an error and the parcel will turn up
