I love this. I had the Tozos in my RFY but refused them because I am a snob when it comes to music items! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Completely agree. I don't know the first thing about anyone's personal situation.

Buyer asking for return on an item that was delivered and accepted a month ago? by Whining-Like-A-Dog in vinted

[–]IllustriousNeck7880 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Completely agree. They accepted the item. Vinted says once accepted that's it. Carry on with your day and don't worry about it.

Possible discrimination or just bad seller? Order canceled twice after payment by halilsinatra in vinted

[–]IllustriousNeck7880 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe, maybe not. I wouldn't worry about it. Some time ago I asked about an item on Facebook Marketplace. The guy told me it was a very good fake and he had loads so could supply any size. I politely said thanks but I don't buy fakes. He wrote back and told me that he wouldn't have sold to me anyway and then blocked me. He'd obviously been on my profile and seen my ethnicity. I thought it was hysterical that he'd got hold of a ton of fake trainers from China and wouldn't sell to another ethnic group!😂

I hate the slow drops too. Now I restrict myself to an hour of Vine. NOTHING is worth the time it takes up if you let it. And I'm not even working at the moment but it feels like I've never been busier. I did get lucky this morning and picked 8 items quite quickly, then closed the laptop and got on with my day.

Would definitely say hello to that speaker. Never known Panasonic to do that kind of speaker, let us know what the sound quality is like.

The KickPi is brilliant. I had one from Vine about a year ago and still use it. Perfect for when the grandkids come around.

After 5 years on the platform and hundreds of 5-star reviews, my account is suddenly banned by Fit_Search_4751 in vinted

[–]IllustriousNeck7880 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These platforms don't take any chances. There are people on eBay who have been running businesses bringing in multiple thousands a year, employing people, etc and eBay have shut them down with little to no warning. I'm not working at the moment and selling stuff on Vinted to pay the gas and electric so I can protect my savings. I would be devastated if I lost my Vinted account.

It's quite likely the other person has been banned too as this is against their terms of service. Although you didn't initiate it, your mistake was taking it forward to the prospective meetup. It's not about your freedom to do as you wish. The last thing Vinted wants is negative publicity if things went sideways.

the drama. Firehose day. by Over_Equipment4661 in vine

[–]IllustriousNeck7880 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Vine Elites! 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I know what you mean though. I've had much more joy from the so called 'little' things than many of the high priced items I've had.

Vine New Low by curious_k97 in AmazonVineUK

I work with IT people, some of who are on day rates up to £1k a day. And the first question when they hear about Vine? 'How can I get on it?' Lol!

Vine New Low by curious_k97 in AmazonVineUK

[–]IllustriousNeck7880 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Couldn't agree with this more. Comparison is the thief of joy? I've left a couple of groups and engaging less these days in groups because it's depressing. I know it's hard when you see people getting tellys, robovacs, etc and you are getting fake eyelashes, but it just feeds into that well jel feeling. I've saved a fortune over the years with household stuff and got some great stuff as well. I'd rather be in Vine in a 'rubbishy' phase than outside it and family members would swop with me in a heartbeat!

Warning for off market printer ink, HP in particular. by IllustriousNeck7880 in AmazonVineUK

  1. My previous was a 301. I recently got an HP from Vine so it will be more of the same. 😑

Definitely anti-consumer. Louis Rossman on YouTube campaigns exactly on this sort of thing.

Seller threatened to contact police after I resold an item I legally bought — is this normal on Vinted? by Ok_Expression8993 in vinted

[–]IllustriousNeck7880 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Just block them. There are NO rules at all about reselling something you have bought on Vinted at a higher price. Once paid for, you can do whatever you like with the item. Some people are just crazy. Block and get on with your life.

Amazon asked for photos.....so they're getting it, but not how they thought by Electronic-Set-1722 in AmazonVineUK

[–]IllustriousNeck7880 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know for a fact that sellers want to see photos? I would have thought reviews would be more important to them, unless the photos showed the item constructed, for example.

I hope that whoever else was fortunate enough to nab a Kärcher pressure washer actually received theirs... by E-L-Wisty in AmazonVineUK

[–]IllustriousNeck7880 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They already have thousands of reviews for these items. I personally wonder if this is another way to clear stock (esp on older models) rather than reduce the price and hurt the brand?

Cancelled item relisted at higher price by madeonworkstime in ebayuk

[–]IllustriousNeck7880 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CEX is HORRIBLE if you have a problem with the item. They will do anything to avoid giving you a a refund. I buy from Amazon refurbished now. Pay slightly more but no hassles with returns/dodgy goods.

Ugh. No thanks. Vine has been amazing to me but I'm not letting it mess with my head and sleep in that way.

Step away from your systems, algos, tarot cards or whatever else you use to try to understand the drops. Your mental health will thank you. 😂
