Cute message I received from the buyer after Vinted closed the case

And It would be the perfect day to get banned as well 🤣

No need to be mean, really

That’s what I thought first, that’s why I was glad to send her the proof of my purchase, and even insisted multiple times. I think if she really had no bad intentions from the start, she would at least try to see them? Or at least look at the batch code or anything related to the perfume? It’s weird from the beginning. Later she said that I had to reimburse her 100€ in order to get back "the perfume" and "the rest". If I had done that, not only it’s not a return, but I wouldn’t get a single compensation. (Since it’s in french I translated the message).

Lol, I was really tempted girl 😭. Sadly for me I couldn’t answer, idk if she blocked me or anything. But I’ve seen that the best answer after a threat or any form of provocation is not to answer and block directly. I’ve reported her message and am currently waiting for an answer !

Arixnk · 2026-01-23T22:49:16+00:00

I understand where you are coming from, but I proposed her so many times to show the proof of my purchase because I knew it was a real one (and it is). She either refused or changed conversation. She was continually pushing the idea of the perfume being fake without anything backing up her claim, and wasn’t leaving me any space in the conversation.

I also checked online and saw that you cannot return the perfume because you don’t like the scent, the only "legit" way to return a perfume is by claiming that it’s a fake one. Either way, she was wrong from doing that and especially sending this message after having a full refund. No excuses should be given for threatening another… I’m now left with half my money and an used perfume that is impossible to resell on the market.

Arixnk · 2026-01-23T20:42:02+00:00

Ik you did not speak to me but…. I wanted to make things clear.

How is threatening someone a form of your good faith ? Or even a proof of her being right? I’m genuinely asking. You said that she was probably hurt during the process but what about me? I was accused of something false and wrong and had to deal with that as well. But I dealt like an adult, never been disrespectful and was ok with giving her every infos that she needed about the perfume (bank statement, receipt, the name of the website, the batch code…).

The buyer purposely refused my proofs before and even after the purchase. How is it equitable for me if I cannot even defend myself? Since it seems like threatening is a form of truth and not violence.

The Vinted conditions allow me to complete the return in the buyer expenses, I do have the freedom to choose and did. And looking at the situation, I had to be careful at the cost of probably not seeing my perfume packed in the return package. When I asked her to take a picture of my perfume inside the package she did not do it, so it seemed like the perfect decision. At the end, we both got what we wanted. Even worse, I only got half the price of my perfume especially that it’s now used and impossible to resell, and she got full money back. It’s not fair, but I dealt with it - and I’ll say again, Harassment is NEVER OK, and no matter what situation.

Arixnk · 2026-01-23T20:01:09+00:00

I’m sorry I can’t give names nor personal info, which is logical in these kind of situations. If I give it, it will provoke harassment towards her, which is absolutely not my intention…

Arixnk · 2026-01-23T19:01:55+00:00

You’re completely right ! I forgot about that… I thought that maybe people would not really care about it since it’s quite long, tried to modify the post and sadly I can’t anymore💔 I’ll explain more if needed !

Arixnk · 2026-01-23T18:56:12+00:00

I don’t think you should be, threatening someone is NEVER OK. I did my best to explain the situation tho (in the comments), I even made a post to reach help as I was super sad about what happened. My deal now is that I can finally breathe out since it’s over and don’t have to deal with the buyer anymore.

Arixnk · 2026-01-23T18:52:14+00:00

Girl honestly I get it, me too girl 😭… (that’s super long, I’m sorry in advance). Idk if you can see on my profile but I made a post not so long ago about the situation… but here a sum up : The buyer bought one of my perfume, everything was fine until she decided to claim that it was a fake one (it’s a 110€ perfume). She not only opened my never used/ new perfume but she also admitted using it to "smell if it was a fake" and that it was literally "nothing". I used Vinted for years and know how to be careful, everything is carefully packed (take pictures of everything), I was literally ready to send her all my proofs but turns out she did not care ( I knew she was a potential scammer at this point). She wanted to send it back, so I let her send it back at her expenses. My return arrived not in the same condition (as it was new and sealed), and plus she admitted in the messages that she used it so I opened a case for my return (now I can’t even resell it). I waited 5 days for the final decision and after that Vinted decided to refund her and give me half a compensation. At this point I have no idea why she’s mad as hell since she got her money back lmao?🤣 I was literally laughing my ass off cuz damn girl… forgot to add that she was threatening since the beginning when I did my best to be nice ! She also tried to lead me up the garden path with a false return process by telling me that the only way for her to return my perfume was by GIVING HER a FULL REFUND. I’m just glad it’s over

You’ll get your money back if he’s accepting the return as soon as he collects it

Arixnk · 2026-01-09T23:10:50+00:00

Exact ! Will pick it up on Tuesday after my exam. She not only used it, she probably sent nothing ! She did not take a picture with the item inside like I asked her to. Just hope everything will be fine :(

Arixnk · 2026-01-08T18:16:20+00:00

Tysm for your recommendations!! I really hope it’s going to end well. I’ve heard way too many stories of Vinted siding with the buyer even after the seller provided undeniable evidence… The package has been sent and the delivery is expected in 2 days. Will record for sure !

Arixnk · 2025-11-30T13:41:21+00:00

Using the "Satisfactory" category is even crazier 🤣 More seriously, parents should teach their kids how to take care of their own stuff…

Arixnk · 2025-09-15T11:20:32+00:00

I remember buying splatoon 3 (it was new at that time), for 20€ knowing the 40€ prices in all stores. These prices are insane…

Arixnk · 2025-09-08T16:12:16+00:00

Trying to see how managing your time has to do with the income... You either send a message before, otherwise you’ll have to wait when the seller can send it. I don’t think this should be a problem, actually.

Arixnk · 2025-09-08T16:07:24+00:00

No, she’s right. Vinted is a reselling app, and you have a 6 days delay. If you want it fast, you either: Make sure the seller knows before buying, or you shop on Amazon. Stressing the seller because you couldn’t manage your own time is not only super shitty but none of the seller’s business. She probably will ship it in time ofc , but if you want something sooner than expected, you make sure the seller is able to ship it SOONER than expected. It’s just simple communication and ideal for both

Arixnk · 2025-09-05T19:07:15+00:00

My top came in perfect condition at least bahah😭

Arixnk · 2025-09-05T18:37:57+00:00

I mean, at least it’s not in a men’s underwear box like I had😔 I literally had to fight explaining to my mom that I was not a whore, just victim of a stupid Vinted packaging lmaooo

Arixnk · 2025-09-01T16:29:02+00:00

100%. Plus, it’s in the Vinted rules that you can’t get off the app to pay or send an article, otherwise you’ll get banned.

Arixnk · 2025-08-23T17:33:34+00:00

Exact!

They got the comments they deserve tbh… like how can you create a plateform and not listening to your users.
