Selling on Depop and Vinted #24 The 40% Off Club

I stole this from the meme thread and then forgot to post it
This is going to be my new tactic.

Why can’t Vinted allow us the option to write ‘didn’t bother to collect’ feedback

I clicked on a Whistles top two days ago and since then I've been getting this seller's showcase

I bought a nice summer floral top off Vinted last week but the seller mixed up the labels and sent me napkin rings (we have all done it). I asked them to resolve it and send me a label to return they said 'The napkin rings sold for £2 more than the top you bought so would you not want to keep them instead' Erm..... sorry but I can't wear napkin rings on holiday. They have refunded me but I do wonder about the logic of some people.

No one can accuse me of NOT being petty:

Their [40% off] offer on my thing:

My [40% off] offer on their thing:

I’m sure they won’t be offended. It’s just a humble £12 off discount.

Which one of you is selling this beauty?

I think they’ll get more of a sense of what they are asking for from others, when they realise what 40% less in their pockets looks like.

Just had a 40 percent offer on a £6 dress. She's selling these so off I go

'What's the lowest you'll take', immediately followed by someone else buying it for full price = priceless.

New thread title thanks to @flap a doodle dandy
Here’s hoping we move out of the 40% off club by the end of this thread…

Truly don't understand Vinted, was looking for a specific shoe, found a pair in my size but they'd been listed for months. Sent a tiny offer to see if seller was still around. Nothing. Then later this morning they price dropped by a fiver lol, so I bought them for £3 less than I'd originally offered????

We should do one of those petitions where the gov't has to debate the issue in parliament once it hits a certain number of signatures.

'SHOULD VINTED PUNISH BUYERS WHO DON'T COLLECT?' I bet it would hit the needed amount in 24 hrs.

Just had something sell for full price no offer even attempted. Maybe the heat is making people feel more generous

 

[PurvyPanda]

And think yourself lucky!!

 

[PinkandTwinkly]

Shysters.

Maybe, but honestly I also think there are quite a few people who are just too dumb to use vinted

 

[lilykestrel]

Gonna be one of them days is it, it's not even 7am

 

[lilykestrel]

Otherwise perfect

I had a guy who didn’t send an item for a whole week and when I contacted him to say are you going to send this or can you please cancel? He replied to say ‘I’m a single father’. When I did eventually receive the item he pressurise me to accept it as everything okay within hours. I thought what a bloody cheek.

I hope you just replied “I’m a single mum” and let it go to auto complete

 

[lilykestrel]

I hope they mean £4 (it was two mugs for £8) otherwise I might just implode

Also "that's bad the mug is damaged" yeah why is that

In the last thread we were bemoaning:
• the many Vinted glitches including the Royal Mail label fiasco
• people who ask loads of questions but don’t buy
• people who have offers accepted but disappear never to be heard of again
• utter piss takers who expect a discount on top of a bundle discount
• the usual irritants who go straight in with 40% off even if something is listed for a fair price and has just been posted
• the erosion of fair/reasonable pricing by people willing to sell for a pittance or buyers who think that sellers set the postage charge
• poor customer service from Vinted mainly run by AI bots

Started getting posts from this group showing up in my feed, it's usually when the post has got a load of traffic because the person (buyer or seller) who posted is getting absolutely dragged in the comments

"Then one shouldn't be buying glowing cubes" has done me in
