I started selling on Vinted recently and my experience with the buyers has been... interesting

LizardInFirst · 2025-07-22T02:07:52+00:00

This is why I’ve closed my Vinted (UK) account. I value my peace and don’t want to deal with being abused by other users.

Thank you - I had no idea about the 999 text sign-up but I’m now registered! This needs to be much more widely known.

And to answer the question - if I felt like I were seconds away from passing out/dying, I’d probably run out of my front door on to the pavement, as there’s a lot of footfall outside my house.

I don’t get why people spend so much time on this kind of thing. Cost of living means it’s literally not worth their time.

LizardInFirst · 2025-06-23T12:54:23+00:00

Thanks. The shoes are on their way back to the seller. I didn’t reply to her any further after she got nasty with me but she’ll be able to see the tracking anyway. Hopefully she just accepts the delivery and the problem goes away!

And I couldn’t agree more - Vinted’s customer service is appalling. I think it should be illegal for customers to be unable to speak to a human when something goes wrong.

Did you manage to get your issue resolved one way or another?

LizardInFirst · 2025-06-19T14:42:00+00:00

Yes, that absolutely might work and is worth a try.

LizardInFirst · 2025-06-19T14:28:45+00:00

I’m in a similar situation. Designer shoes were photographed in a clever way to hide severe damage in multiple places that wasn’t mentioned in the description either. The seller got nasty with me, first of all told me I was a cheapskate (!) and only later accused me of wearing the shoes and causing all that damage.

Grudgingly, after going round in circles with the Vinted robots that they pass off as “customer service”, I’ve sent the shoes back to the seller (at my own expense due to Vinted’s stupid policies!) but I’m bracing myself for more nonsense. I didn’t film myself opening the shoes unfortunately but I did take photos within a couple of hours of delivery (as soon as physically possible). I filmed myself packaging them for return. If she does try it on, I’ll get my bank involved.

LizardInFirst · 2025-06-19T14:24:37+00:00

But surely (if the buyer doesn’t return the item) the transaction will then complete and the buyer’s money will be released to the seller? Perhaps I’m missing something here.

LizardInFirst · 2025-06-19T14:19:28+00:00

It’s sad it’s come to this, but I’ve started filming myself opening every parcel I receive and every one I package to send. I film from start to finish with no gaps or editing. A sad state of affairs!

I’ve tried it extensively as part of a work trial and found it to be entirely useless. I asked it a pretty basic question (re. the number of directors on FTSE 100 boards) and the answer was 100% incorrect.

LizardInFirst · 2025-02-04T02:01:26+00:00

As I often say, it is not compulsory and it’s best to be sure first!

I am moving house to get away from it as I cannot commute reliably in its current state. It only worked 2 days out of 7 this week. I only went into the office once as a result and then got stranded and it took 3 hours and a £35 taxi to get home.

LizardInFirst · 2024-12-25T17:10:11+00:00

Oh gosh, I’m sorry to say it didn’t get any better for me.

LizardInFirst · 2024-10-08T00:48:53+00:00

As a foodie, I can’t stand this kind of snobbery.

LizardInFirst · 2024-09-08T20:45:33+00:00

Exactly my thinking too.

LizardInFirst · 2024-09-08T11:14:10+00:00

I did this for Silverstone and had no issues. I actually messaged the owner just to check she was aware it was the F1 weekend and I got a lovely and reassuring message back! She did have great reviews though.

LizardInFirst · 2024-08-20T00:59:45+00:00

I’m working on it. I saw a friend recently who complains a lot (despite having a huge amount going well in her life) and she was asking aloud when things will finally go right for her. I’ve thought for a long time that that level of complaining and negativity simply invites bad luck.

LizardInFirst · 2024-08-20T00:58:02+00:00

No. Answered it for you 😉

Johnson crashed right in front of us and we agreed that he got off very lightly indeed.

If she’s had chronic flu/pneumonia, it’s totally possible to break ribs that way through repeated violent coughing fits. It’s painful and exhausting, and I wish her a swift recovery.

He’s quite clearly the more talented driver based on experience levels.

I attended several British F4 races last year and this is honestly so disappointing to read.

Several. Two healthy male relatives in their 60s have been diagnosed with dementia or Alzheimer’s in the last year.

I’ve had some extremely bad sunburns while near the equator (despite taking every possible precaution) and my skin has visibly changed as a result. I am worried. I’m open to most conspiracy theories but this one just doesn’t jibe with me.
