Major Highlights of the Week

Account Bans
Users are experiencing sudden account bans without clear explanations or prior warnings, leading to frustration and loss of access to the platform. This issue is compounded by inadequate customer support responses, which fail to provide clarity or resolution.
I was immediately flagged as fraud and permanently banned for trying to sell an item.
Shipping Label Issues
Sellers frequently encounter problems with generating shipping labels, causing delays in order fulfillment and leading to canceled sales. This technical issue is exacerbated by unhelpful customer support, which offers no effective solutions.
Every time I’ve sold something it’ll say ‘error, shipping label order failed. Please try again later’.
Buyer Protection Flaws
The Buyer Protection fee is criticized for not providing adequate protection, as buyers often have to cover return shipping costs for items that are not as described. This policy undermines trust in the platform's promise of buyer security.
Bought trainers listed at size 8 but there were size 9. To get a refund I need to send back & cover the postage!
Scam and Fraud Concerns
The platform is reportedly inundated with scams and counterfeit items, with users expressing dissatisfaction over Vinted's lack of action against fraudulent sellers. This has led to a decline in trust and increased caution among users.
I reported FAKE COUNTERFEIT goods being sold at full price, Vinted took NO ACTION against seller.

Customer service is absolutely dreadful, and no dark mode for android.
Location and Language Settings

Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

The app was great in the beginning but now it’s full of scammers. I sold a top but the tracking never updated, the buyer confirmed they received it, and Vinted still refused to pay me. That was the last straw for me.
Bri.tisch
Absolute nightmare as a seller. Shipping labels fail to generate and support offers no help. If you’re planning to sell, get ready to refund all of your buyers. Use Depop instead.
yooo0oo0oo0
Overall, I really enjoy this app and I have made some sales! However, it’s extremely difficult to get your customers their items in a timely manner as the app is often having issues with shipping labels. Every time I’ve sold something it’ll say ‘error, shipping label order failed. Please try again later’.
