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

[GinaLianosdeckofcards]

They're gonna have a shock if they ever go to touristy areas in Italy, there's market traders galore who've copied his stuff and are selling it, the whole country is in on it

They've always sold it everywhere,most Market stalls have had it for yonks lol,it's been in Fantasy Island market in Skeggy and Tenerife Fanabe for at least 10 years lol. Yes,he has all the colour ways and newer designs,mainly that scuba material co-ords that imo look tacky as fuck . Oversized baseball tops aren't a new thing lol, they've been selling them since the 90s,usually mega cheap on Boohoo etc as nobody wants them. They go crazy for them . And dresses with the shirred top bit,that you can literally buy at every single holiday resort I have ever visited. It's like he's invented the wheel.

It's such a slower burn than Vinted, the only time I've sold something same day as upload recently I reckon I must have pinged someone's saved search for that exact top because they popped up and bought pretty much straight away

Yes,I meant before I uploaded around this time last year,thought I deleted it all,but left a item up somehow and it sold a few weeks ago. I don't think I can be bothered keeping stuff lieing around for a year

The option to mark a picture as being AI has now gone so I think they maybe trialled it

I click on the 3 dots to report, then the one about pictures, then the one about web pictures. The option is still there to report.

I know this is old news,but what is the reason that on UK Vinted we can't seem/but from USA but not Europe ?

This has probably already been discussed on here but why do people buy. then not collect or respond to messages giving them a nudge to collect? 3rd time now and I know I don't lose anything but my packing and time but really don't understand it

People are bat shit crazy for listing this!

Love that you favourited it to keep a check!

I sent a Vinted parcel using a Royal Mail locker last week, the locker had a label printer, but I don't think they all do.

Ah right, no it didn’t. I had to go to a shop in the end

 

[GinaLianosdeckofcards]

Anyone on Bidzzy yet ?

 

[carriebooboo]

Just saw on Reddit that the sizings have changed back.

I just re-listed three items and it's unchanged for me.

Anyone else having issues with royal mail? Expected delivery for one of my items is 16-18 June but it's still sat in the locker. I posted it on Saturday. I'm new to this and had not used royal mail lockers before but I assumed it would've been collected by now?

When you’re taking photos of items for vinted and your dad walks in on you in the bedroom to tell you your tea is ready

(I saw this and couldn’t help take a screenshot)

I love that jumper!

 

[GinaLianosdeckofcards]

Na, bet it's because when you go to make an offer and start typing it shows at the bottom what the lowest you can send is

I didn't even notice that I just worked it out,but yes,you're likely correct,they aren't bright enough to work it out themselves

 

[GinaLianosdeckofcards]

Anyone else getting a "server error" pop up when trying to open a sale thread from My orders 🫠

Yes I just tried to generate a label always something every single week.

 

[GinaLianosdeckofcards]

So a buyer bought something, eventually after 4 offers and it was apparently "undeliverable" took 3 weeks to say this as it was stuck on out for delivery for a week. Anyway it's magically been able to be delivered back to me within 2 days. I messaged the buyer to say I am away so can't confirm the return. It literally timed out a day later and he's been refunded when I haven't even confirmed I have it back.

In short they're not selling lol. I sell (well try to sell) mainly Vintage. I think the issue is there's a lot of stuff that's Shein etc and not actually Vintage and it's put people off. Also I think the main buyers of these things buy from Whatnot as it's much cheaper,also there's a lot of competition against the sellers that have a lot of followers. I did sell 2 y2k pieces yesterday within 20 minutes,but think I was just lucky,as it was low-rise stuff that the big sellers sell for 30plus,mine were a lot cheaper.

Quoting myself soz. Also the majority of Vintage sellers and buyers,want pictures of it being worn. I had so many messages yesterday asking for that. I do see the items with lots of favourites are being worn,but I am not doing that lol. I saw one today. 1 picture..I mean how does this show the dress ? I haven't cropped this,only the head. It literally shows nothing of the item

Does anyone know if you can post Vinted parcels into the Royal Mail lockers?
I went to use one yesterday and it said that any parcels without labels would be sent back. There’s no option to print a label so I’m confused as to whether they are not usable for Vinted parcels

I sent a Vinted parcel using a Royal Mail locker last week, the locker had a label printer, but I don't think they all do.

Hi I'm quite new to vinted, I've sold a couple of things, I put 'small' package on postage for one of the dresses I sold, it's been sent by royal mail. Probs a stupid question but what happens if it should've been a medium size package? I sent it via the lockers.
Also I've listed a few more things but only 1 or 2 views? Not sure what I'm doing wrong. They're dresses and they're beautiful so not sure why they're not getting the views.

 

[GinaLianosdeckofcards]

‘Do you have a photo of this on?’

I reply ‘I’m sorry I don’t’

‘Could you try it on now, as unfortunately I can’t buy it unless I’ve seen it on’

Then don’t buy it

It’s a cropped trench coat if you google it you can see what it looks like on.

If I’ve a photo of it on I will upload it with the listing.

I hate this. I have even posted the item on a model off a website back to these people. Just Google it or use lens lol

 

[ShadesMint]

What's the etiquette if someone sends an offer?
I have a dress on for £3.50 and someone offered £3 l really want full price for it.. I feel silly haggling over 50p.. I also feel a bit stingy if I rejected their offer because its on for such a low price anyway?
I ended up accepting.

Also if someone sends an offer and it's accepted but they then dont buy, how long do you leave it before sending the same offer to the other watchers?

 

[GinaLianosdeckofcards]

People are using them for all sorts now, I see them for all sorts of high street brands (not just the hyped stuff that is getting faked, but just people using it to flog their unwanted FatFace top?). Massive tell is the model holding the phone in front of their face for a mirror selfie, or the hand in the front pocket that's slightly too far down the arm

I personally would never buy from these people if they've been digitally altered
