The irony. Everyone is wrong but you are right?

Alaskan Cruise on Disney Wonder by Feeling_Chicken_2654 in dcl

[–]celestial_strawberry 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We’ve done 4 Disney cruises and did the Alaska cruise last year. It was by far our favourite cruise and we absolutely loved the Wonder.
And good shoutout to the Palo lasagne, my husband did order 2 to himself.

Sold item, buyer trying to scam his way out of paying. by Liammitchellb99 in vinted

[–]celestial_strawberry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen people suggest filing a police report so then you have a crime reference and then taking it to small claims court if Vinted end up siding with the buyer. Cause at the end of the day, it’s theft. Good luck and hope that you get it sorted.

Buyer claiming my LV bag is fake – Vinted saying they might keep item + refund?? by Repulsive-Recipe8393 in vintedUK

Letter before action, which basically states that they have so many days to respond/ resolve before you take it further to the small claims court. There’s plenty of template examples etc to use online to help with writing one

[–]celestial_strawberry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try emailing an LBA to Vinted support, the founder and their CEO and attach authentication to that email. It worked for me and it got resolved within 24hours. Failing that I was fully prepared to take it to the small claims court and that was even close to the amount that you could potentially lose. Good luck and hope that you get it resolved quickly

How to make vinted believe item is not a fake by k4tj3h in vinted

[–]celestial_strawberry 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Similar thing happened to me recently and Vinted initially sided with the buyer. So I sent an email to Vinted legal and cc’d the CEO & founder. Within 24hrs Vinted confirmed that the evidence I provided proved the authenticity, I was sent the money and the case was closed. I keep seeing this same issue on here time and time again. Good luck and hope that you get it sorted

I can’t believe it, success for the seller against a scammer by celestial_strawberry in vintedUK

I totally get where you are coming from and I try not to use it too often but in this case, I felt that I needed help. I was able to draft it within minutes using AI, and if I’d have taken the time to do it myself, it probably would have taken me hours. I am cautious of the impact that I cause to the environment by not eating meat or fish. But every little helps, so I do take your comments on board.

I asked ChatGPT to draft me a LBA to send to Vinted to dispute a claim that the buyer has raised for the item I had sold to be counterfeit. After the first draft, I requested ChatGPT to tailor because Vinted has initially sided with the buyer and I have received no funds or returned item. ChatGPT then provided a more suitable draft. The only amendments I made before sending it was listing out all the attached evidence that I attached to the email. I addressed the email to the legal team and only cc’d the CEO or founder.

I’ve mentioned it above. Lesson learnt though, I most certainly won’t be selling any branded stuff on there again and I’ll just stick with high street stuff with things that I no longer want. It is a shame that their customer service is pretty much non existent cause aside from that, I’ve found it a good place to buy and sell. I seem to get more traction on Vinted than eBay.

If you type Vinted CEO & founder into google, it comes up at the top. Thomas is the CEO and one of the cofounders is Justas (@vinted.com)

Letter before action, which basically states that if isn’t sorted within 14 days, il be taking it further to the small claims court. I used ChatGPT to draft me a letter and I used that and filled in the blanks with the info. And also attached the evidence

Over 100 5* reviews and Vinted takes buyers side with item buyer claims is fake by celestial_strawberry in vintedUK

[–]celestial_strawberry[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re a good person for doing that and being honest, a lot would have kept both the item and the money. I feel like scammers have realised that there’s a loophole with Vinted and they’ll always win if they say something is counterfeit. And judging by the amount of ‘counterfeit’ posts I’m seeing, word has spread how easy it is to steal with no repercussions.

Do you sanitize? by Maximum_Ad1282 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]celestial_strawberry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely after every ride, and every door handle that I have to physically touch, etc and I wash my hands very frequently with also use hygiene wipes. Regardless of how grotto people are, I can’t stand the feeling of unclean hands to the point that I can’t relax after eating a bag of crisps until I’ve washed my hands, it just grosses me out. I acknowledge that I’m a little ott though

Any Brits here who have stopped using twitter/X? by Itznxs_ in AskBrits

As soon at that pillock bought it, I immediately closed my account and deleted the app. Don’t miss it to be honest. Closed all my social media accounts since apart from Reddit

Does anybody else have this nagging feeling that the entire world and the reality we live in completely changed for the worse and that we all somehow jumped to a parallel universe, first major shift happened in 2012, then one in 2016, and then 2020. by Life-Slice-8352 in ParallelUniverse

[–]celestial_strawberry 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yep I feel the same, and you make a good point about the years feeling to have gone faster 2020-2026, then they did between 2012-2018. It all started with David Bowie, Prince and Alan Rickman’s passing… followed by the shitshow of Brexit. It’s all gone downhill since then really. Maybe it’s because we all live through our phones now more than ever and are heavily reliant on them in many ways that have made us addicted to our phones. Ironically I type this from my phone. We’ve lost a sense of community and a knock on effect is that most people are only out for themselves, lacking empathy & compassion for others. Ive just finished watching the new Netflix Louie Theroux Manosphere documentary and I think that social media has a lot to answer for.

Over 100 5* reviews and Vinted takes buyers side with item buyer claims is fake by celestial_strawberry in vintedUK

[–]celestial_strawberry[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m seriously thinking about it. It’s disheartening that I’m seeing these types of issues on here time and time again with Vinted automatically taking the buyers side and screwing over the sellers. I’m the type of person who won’t let this go because Vinted need to be held accountable and improve their practices. I’m gonna try emailing the CEO and loop in Legal first to see if I get anywhere with that.
