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

Not weird but the amount of 'will it fit me as I have quite a large/small X' astound me. How the hell would I know - I am sitting in my PJs listing probably 150 miles away and have never met you.
I had a 'will this (a sweatshirt) fit over a tshirt'.... I've no idea how big you are so, not a clue :rolleyes:

I sold a top to a lady for her holiday, polite request, no issue there, and I posted in plenty of time. It took relay 2 days to collect and a further 3 before it said the parcel was on the way. Delivered today. The day she went away....
How long do you get to collect with Relay? Not that I know how long her holiday is.
Just wondering how long I'll now be waiting for it to come back.
 
Damn, had a parcel chewed up by evri, my buyer got a notification that its been too badly damaged in transit to deliver.

Thoughts on how vinted will handle it?

Parcel was 1 small item in a small padded envelope. Not sure if the buyer has any image of the damage from evri or just the email notification which they've uploaded when they suspended the transaction.

Not the end of the world if I don't get paid as was sold for under £5 and was part of a Carboot bundle that had a few item's not my size despite being sold as all one size.

I think you will get you money back but it will take a long time,Evri always does. You could message Vinted but they'll just tell you to wait 🙄 they never actually listen it's just their standard answer

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?

Happily I've been paid this morning, and I'm assuming the buyer has been refunded too since they left me feedback good feedback (personally I'd rather they maybe didn't since its 5* and just "good" which feels a bit contradictory).

Really need to sort out another pile of stuff to get listed before summer really kicks in.

I find when I use the lockers they are reallllllly slow to update so it may be nearly there 🤞🏼

Oh wow that's good then. I posted something over 6 weeks ago that's still not completed lol

I was surprised. Normally damaged items take a battle for the seller to get their money.

But I guess that evri admitted to so much damage it was undeliverable meant the buyer couldn't say if it was well packaged per their ridiculously ever changing rules.

Hope you get good news on your missing item soon.

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?

There's no etiquette lol. You do what you like,and I absolutely wouldn't accept offers on anything under fiver it's not worth it. This is why they do it,they know you'll likely accept as it's "only 50p" Indeed it is,so why won't you "only pay 50p more" !? I never send offers out but do not rely on anyone sending a offer will buy it as 99 percent of the time,they do not buy it.

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.

Imagine how sad and small her life must be.
