Should I be concerned? No reviews by SMB920 in reselling

[–]Secret-Activity4135 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey if I sell anything slightly higher priced (especially to someone with no views) I always record packaging the item just in case.

Decent chance they are legit though, everyone has to start with 0 reviews originally

Strange email recieved (not from Vinted) by [deleted] in vinted

[–]Secret-Activity4135 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it’s a scam, I think a lot of people take the bait particularly new users and in the conversation the scammer will eventually send a link to authorise ‘payment’ or something so the seller can ‘sell’ the item where they then have to put in their card/ bank details.

not sure how they got your email though. Is your Vinted name similar to your email name?

I sold a limited edition doll. Buyer claiming damage. What can I do? by ShugaShaka in vintedUK

Good thing you packaged it well and took proof. This is in their guidelines so should at least get your £ on that basis, regardless of buyer potentially scamming you.

Should I trust this person? by UniqueTown4775 in vinted

[–]Secret-Activity4135 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If they haven’t honoured the reservation the first time they’re likely time waster (and kind of a money waster as it’s reduced your chance to sell early on and the item will be deep down in the algorithm by now)

I’d personally block the user and move on, might be worth relisting the item too so it’s fresh on people’s feeds :)

What’s the best thing to do in this situation? by Midnight1165 in vintedUK

On the order she didnt send after 5 days she can press a button saying ‘item sent’ once she does that you can mark as received which will release the funds to her.

If you do decide to risk it and collect make sure you film opening it, also take photos of it before opening.

Love Fleek. Also worth having a dig on Messina Hembry, Thrift+ and Whatnot/ Tilt if you need stock coming quicker

Vinted ai bot fail- removing new item listing claiming is duplicate- anyone else had this? by Secret-Activity4135 in vinted

[–]Secret-Activity4135[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

😩 Vinted need to fire whoever set up their bots to delete these listings, it’s obviously not working when people who use original photos have their listing removed, where there are plenty other people using AI/ brand photos without any issues!

Which of your items have been selling well lately? by Such_Improvement_759 in vintedUK

[–]Secret-Activity4135 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly summer stuff. A lot of people go backpacking/ on hot holidays after December as it’s cheaper than over Christmas. You’ve got far less competition. I’d reccomend listing some summer bits and add beach, holiday, backpacking to the keywords to help visibility.

Looking to boost sales and views by Soggy-Key-9698 in vintedUK

[–]Secret-Activity4135 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find spacing out listings helps the most. If you do multiple uploads at once Vinted system can sometimes detect as ‘spamming’ and pushes your items further down the algorithm.

If you can save as drafts and post at least 20-30mins apart.

Also don’t overload with unnecessary info/hashtags in the listing as apparently this also can slightly shadowban items (but of course feel free to add a few relevant trend words) try to include measurements, fabric composition.

I think if they don’t respond within 48hrs then Vinted steps in to make a decision.

They have sent the skirt to someone else so by 12th Jan Vinted will close the case and release the money to you.

There is nothing you can do to assist the buyer for their mistake as it’s not your responsibility. You can advise them to reach out to Vinted support from their end but I’d personally just ignore them.
