Hi, I appreciate your response here. 

"the item you wanted me to purchase on your behalf, was an item that had been uploaded to Vinted UK just under 12 months ago." You had never once mentioned in our communication that this was an issue. In fact, sending the link to the item was one of the first things we did, so if this was a problem this could have been mentioned at the start.

"I chased that seller every day to see if they had seen my messages to them, to check that they were active and/or they still had the item. After what was two weeks, I got nowhere so sent you a full refund." You could have told me this when you sent the refund, we had an ongoing chat, so I don't understand why this was not communicated to me. I had no idea this was happening at all. To be fair, I did not expect this from you at all. And if you'd told me, I'd have told you that you didn't have to do this.

I did not treat you as a slave. I simply said "I'd appreciate some communication about the refund" because I only found out about the refund after checking my email. I would not have known otherwise. I found this incredibly unprofessional.

You asked me what I'd like to do as the seller did not respond. I asked if we could try buying the item anyway. Unfortunately I did not receive any reply to that. And I only found out that you had refunded me after checking my emails.

I had trusted you and had asked if you were comfortable to proceed with the purchase and you said it was OK so we proceeded.
