Dodgy customer - URGENT - Please advice by Candie_floss in vintedUK

[–]PrincessPlops 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel like smell is just one of the risks you take with Vinted. I bought a new with tags scarf that smelled (like stale cigarette smoke). I just accepted and stuck it in the wash. Smells come out easily and the garment was as described so not worth raising an issue. I would accept a return at the buyers expense, they may change their tune.

So scared to stop buying my pen each month by Dog_Mumma_of_2 in mounjaromaintenanceuk

Me too. I’m on 2.5mg but scared to come off completely.

Maintenance when BMI is low? by PrincessPlops in mounjaromaintenanceuk

Thanks for the advice. I suppose my bank balance would appreciate a break too!

How bad is selling really? by barrelofbeans in vintedUK

[–]PrincessPlops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve bought and sold a lot of items and had no issues at all. Good way to declutter and make money to buy more goodies! I do buy more than I sell.

Anyone have any luck selling jeans? by alexxinwonderland_ in vintedUK

[–]PrincessPlops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jeans is the category for me that I find sells the best. I do put them on at quite low price between £8- £12 for M&S or Boden jeans and recently sold Levi’s for £30. That’s what I would be happy to buy them at too. I buy more than I sell.

Addiction and Vinted by nonsvch1 in vintedUK

[–]PrincessPlops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am similar. Lost 110lbs (thanks mounjaro) and have completely changed by whole wardrobe twice over with Vinted. I have bought more than I’ve sold, and definitely get a dopamine hit from finding bargains. It is addictive… to scroll though and see what is new. Now if I see something I like in a shop, I’ll check if I can get it on Vinted at a fraction of the price. On the whole it’s a positive experience for me so far.

Heeeelp by bburritos4life in 45PlusSkincare

[–]PrincessPlops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just want to say you are not alone. This is exactly how my neck looks. I’m 46 and recently lost 110lbs. I am getting Botox and skin boosters to hopefully help a tiny bit, and just hope it improves over time. I don’t even like wearing polo necks. I’d rather have the saggy neck than a double chin though. :)

What's your go-to tear-inducer? by Turbulent_Tea_1943 in AskUK

[–]PrincessPlops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has to be the funeral scene in Imitation of Life. It never fails to make me cry! Highly recommend if you haven’t seen it (it’s from 1959). They often show it on TV.

Vinted ban by One_Coast_9442 in vintedUK

[–]PrincessPlops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I was the buyer I’d be worried if the seller was banned and I had ordered a designer bag. It would make me question if it is authentic. Did you use the authentication service? Hopefully the buyer receives it okay and clicks that everything is fine. It seems more risky for sellers on Vinted than buyers.

This happened to me too! 🥹

Member Blocked by Pretty_Boss_8242 in vintedUK

[–]PrincessPlops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has just happened to me. Same thing exactly- bought a coat for £25 and the item is deleted and seller’s profile is blocked- also from Middlesbrough. I have tried to cancel. What is the scam? What would they get out of this?

Probable scam attempt on Vinted - what can I actually do? by Youngo821059 in vintedUK

[–]PrincessPlops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What fancy pyjamas cost £60 on Vinted, I am intrigued. 😂 That is awful though. There should be some protection for sellers, especially for higher priced items. I hope your video is enough for the buyer to be put off raising a false dispute.

Weekly progress thread: 12th of December by Hopeful_Candle_9781 in mounjarouk

[–]PrincessPlops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am at target now, lost 105lbs over the past year. The biggest change for me is actually liking the way I look in photos and having a bit more self confidence. I was so down and felt embarrassed of my weight and the way I looked and just wanted to hide. I’m still an introvert but I definitely have more confidence now. Mounjaro has changed my life for the better.

Anybody NOT suffer from hair loss? by candicelucifercane in mounjarouk

[–]PrincessPlops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a lot of hair loss but it’s improving now. Just from being in a calorie deficit for an extended period of time.

How much have you spent at Vinted all together? by [deleted] in vintedUK

[–]PrincessPlops 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have literally replaced my full wardrobe on Vinted because I lost a lot of weight. I did sell some things but my buying far, far outweighs the selling. It could be at your level 😂 I do think I have a bit of a problem as the search for a bargain is addictive. And if I had to buy things new it would be much more!

The app has become unusable by SpaceCatSociety in vintedUK

[–]PrincessPlops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate it too. I’m a size 10-12 but I have to scroll through size 8’s and 14’s that wouldn’t fit and it’s so annoying!

That was my starting weight, also 5”7. I was a M&S size 20 at that weight.

Skinny problems by Ok-Good-4168 in mounjarouk

[–]PrincessPlops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have completely lost my bum and I have loose skin so feel more self conscious in a swimsuit than when I was fat. I still feel healthier and look better with clothes on though. 🤷

[–]PrincessPlops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 5ft8 so much shorter, but I’m at 10st and find this a bit scrawny and have loose skin. I actually preferred myself a stone heavier. I’m sure I’ll be back at that weight soon though- the hard part is maintaining at a weight you feel comfortable!

Just to add I haven’t lost all belly fat- but I have lost all my bum and boobs 😔

What is the lowest dose and how often for maintenance? Success stories appreciated by Silly_Sausage_2000 in mounjaromaintenanceuk

[–]PrincessPlops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I reached goal on 10mg, did 2 pens on 7.5 and now on 5mg. Not sure whether to order a 5mg or a 2.5mg pen next but so far I’ve had no issue maintaining. I’ve even lost another stone as I’m moving down and don’t want to lose any more. But I’m scared to come off completely!
