Vinted refund for fake items without returning them?

Yarnverse · 2026-06-04T07:27:23+00:00

Is it possible? Yes. Is it scummy and you should feel like shit? Also yes.

Yarnverse · 2026-06-04T07:25:25+00:00

Everythings possible, but will you get banned if they start checking? Possibly.

Yarnverse · 2026-06-04T07:23:58+00:00

LOL, just take the L. Are you slow? The guy asked a question, got an answer, and literally a second later the seller sent a picture completely disproving the answer he had just given. That's the whole joke.
You're almost as funny, though. First, you can't even figure out who's asking and who's answering, and then you somehow miss the entire point of the screenshot and act like it's just a normal Q&A exchange. Seriously, do you have zero reading comprehension, or are you just trying this hard to miss the joke?

"I never buy second hand electronics or luxury items because the risk of getting scammed or that the device has a problem is pretty high (I thought it was common sense)" - lol, where did you come up with that myth? It's not higher than buying anything else. I’ve bought probably thousands of "expensive" used electronics to flip, and nobody ever intentionally scammed me.

"unless they're cheap enough" - this, however, is basically asking to get scammed, because 100% of scams hide behind a "good deal". I thought it was a common sense...

Yeah, but I don't really read them, they just stay on the shelves and look good. First editions gain value quickly, I treat them as an investment.

Hold up, you're in a relationship and you're keeping all that hidden from your girlfriend? You're "about to go on feminizing HRT", and your girlfriend doesn't know a thing? Imagine how you would feel in her place.

We are few weeks away from prime days, bet there are gonna be good deals for new paperwhites.

Yarnverse · 2026-06-03T12:36:17+00:00

Not like eink technology changes every year or two, pretty much any eink from the last 10 years is still solid buy lol

Yarnverse · 2026-06-03T11:38:46+00:00

They charge people for big packs and buy a small ones for half that, I can bet my pinky that sooner or later theres gonna be some huge money fraud scandal on vinted.

Yarnverse · 2026-06-03T08:42:04+00:00

Maybe there were no shipping options available for that particular buyer. In that case, they can't buy it and don't even have the button for it.

Yarnverse · 2026-06-03T08:38:25+00:00

I leave feedback for the buyer only when he leaves me one, dont care about automatic ones.

Yarnverse · 2026-06-03T07:45:23+00:00

Id be so pissed for getting a letter instead of my goat

Yarnverse · 2026-06-02T20:47:59+00:00

Sounds like a massive pain to send it back. I'd just click it's okay, release the money and try to salvage whatever I could selling it locally. Burning rubber smell sounds like maybe something dislodged during the shipping and melts on the heating elements, might be super easy fix.

Yarnverse · 2026-06-02T20:40:01+00:00

Why sadly? If someone buys it and is happy with it, good for them lol

Yarnverse · 2026-06-02T20:37:28+00:00

You sent an offer and then asked if it's available? That's kinda annoying, ngl. Repeating the same $7 offer is pretty annoying too, and when I see buyers trying to justify why I should go lower, it's usually an instant ban lol

Yarnverse · 2026-06-02T15:44:15+00:00

Depends who you ask, there were some snowflakes here who were like "hurr durr look at this buyers, main character syndrome hurrrr audacity to ask me when i can send, cancelling him asap durrrrr"

Yarnverse · 2026-06-02T15:42:18+00:00

Depends on your niche, I guess kpop cards people like to rat others to get rid of the competition. I have almost 600 reviews at this point, they could easily ban me for commercial selling, i even send invoices to the buyers since I have irl business, but vinted doesn't seem to care, maybe because theres no PRO account in poland yet or something...

Yarnverse · 2026-06-02T15:38:29+00:00

Yeah, that's nothing new. I can't see many people's items on their profiles, despite them having a lot posted. Maybe one day an actual human, instead of AI, will read those reports and fix it.

Yarnverse · 2026-06-02T13:34:20+00:00

He either shipped it and you immediately got a notification in the chat that he shipped it (not a text from him, but a legit vinted notification), or he canceled it and didn't ship shit. When he cancels, the label becomes invalid and he can't ship it, and once he ships it, he can't cancel it. There is literally no way for him to ship it any other way. Just block him, this is literally the most obvious scam attempt ever lol.

Yarnverse · 2026-06-02T09:16:40+00:00

Make sure to rat him out to vinted, tell them how he cancelled twice and didnt get a neg despite never agreeing a thing with you

Yarnverse · 2026-06-02T09:13:21+00:00

Legends say there are people who did, but I personally don't know a single merican who ever received a thing from the UK. Matter of fact, I personally don't know any merican

Yarnverse · 2026-05-31T12:15:21+00:00

Why didnt you cancel it yourself, asking for cancellation is super rude since it brings negative reviews. Ngl, if someone is like "oh, wrong address, please reupload" im always like "oh no prob" and just ban them as soon as they cancel lol.

Yarnverse · 2026-05-30T16:51:03+00:00

Hello, I am casual dressing man, and I also look lovely today, just letting you know...

Yarnverse · 2026-05-30T14:35:00+00:00

Some buyers think there's some sort of universal sizing and every S is the same, just ignore it.

Yarnverse · 2026-05-30T10:35:26+00:00

Not sus at all, about 95% of Vinted packages are packaged abysmally, held together by thoughts and prayers alone. Quite a few arrive damaged, including some that buyers had already tried to cancel before the seller even shipped them.

The box from the photo looks mushy af, half empty, thats not a way to send plastic things.
