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

The lady I’ve posted about before who didn’t bother to collect, then kicked off that I had to sort her refund. I had almost daily messages telling me I had to contact Vinted to sort it out because she wanted her money and it wasn’t her fault she didn’t collect. I marked it as received (although I did do it a day late due to her nasty message the second it hit my doorstep) and told her there was nothing else I could do.

She got her refund this morning and sent me a nasty message about how unhelpful I’ve been, how I’ve made this process much harder than it should have been and “thanks for nothing”.

The item was £3.
I had pretty much the same experience over £2 lol, apparently I was trying to scam her 😂.

I think I’m about to give up on Vinted for now. I’m not sure what’s happened but I’m getting zero offers despite relisting stuff and barely any favourites. I took everything off for a couple of weeks then relisted a few more desirable items and I got a few favourites and one low ball offer who went silent when I made a meet halfway offer back. It’s really disappointing because I did pretty well initially and have managed to shift quite a bit of stuff but it’s just completely died.

The past few weeks have been the same for me as a seller, but I've found some incredible bargains as a buyer. Feels like more of a buyer's market atm.

Yeah before my ban I had a flurry of activity,then completely died again. There's definitely far too many sellers now to compete with. People like this for example. Yeah,I am all for people making a go if it and trying to start a small business,but we can't all afford to do these things,I don't want cheeky offers,I don't do bundle discount anymore either,because people still want more. The amount of people I see now selling virtually everything for a pound. They can't be making much if they're reseller's because even ragman stock and charity surplus you need to charge more than that per item.

Urgh, I uploaded a brand new and sealed body mist and it immediately went to check in progress. They’ve just removed it saying it’s used. You could clearly see the seals and that it was full. Stupid bots.

Yet people selling half empty bottles of all sorts, clear to see in photos, and they’re allowed to carry on.

Anyone else get curious when an item is delivered but the buyers don't accept the order? Like they left my house in perfect condition 🤷‍♀️ So annoying though as I was hoping I'd get the money the same day🙃

Honestly it being left to auto complete happens with about 50% of sales for me, maybe more. It's a pain, but I guess people either forget, don't realise they need to do it to release the money or just don't care. I always figure if there was a problem I'd hear about it

I’ve had sellers chase me to mark as complete and I’m at work, the parcel has gone through my door and I’ve not been able to check it. I’m not marking complete until I’ve seen it!

I’m having a mare item I purchased going on for 2 weeks buyer still not posted out (never had time to go print label out) so we both agreed to cancel and repurchase and use locker option instead. Still not posted out. How hard is it to bang something in a locker. Baring in mind item should have been packed already while they was bleeping about not going for a label printout. I know life gets in the way but it’s taking the piss now
 
PSA: I never let it autocomplete. However, you message me “ok???” three minutes after I’ve collected it, and you’re waiting two days for your 3 quid love.

‘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 don’t mind if I have a photo already in my phone of me wearing it but I’m not going out of my way to take one for the sake of £4 sorry lol. It’s only been uploaded and has 19 likes already, not in a rush to get rid of it.
