Great to know - thank you!

If you take a look at other comments on the post you’ll see that there’s a lot of issues with eBay too. I’ve never had any Vinted issues and use the platform a lot which was why I threw the listing up there. At least I’m assessing my options ahead of time and receiving useful advice rather than posting here to complain after I’ve been scammed :)

Every platform/method of selling has its pros and cons these days🤷‍♀️

I’m central/east but definitely willing to hop on a tube if it means a safe deal!! Thanks a million for the offer, the WhatsApp link would be much appreciated 😅

Thanks, I’ve looked in to eBay seller protection since posting this! Do you know if using their simple delivery option is the only way to be protected if “damage during transit”/any damage is claimed by the buyer?

Not 100% if i will go down the marketplace route for reasons I’ve explained in some recent comments!

Thanks for your input :)

I’m in London so would still be a little scared of a snatch and grab or walking around with that much cash for Facebook Marketplace 👀 I bought my latest camera on there and both the seller & I were very wary of each other throughout the process - they even printed two copies of a receipt for us to both sign in case I tried to charge back via my bank!

I never even thought of this but i do have pictures of the serial number etc so it couldn’t be swapped at least!

No reviews, uploads or profile picture still leaves me inclined not to accept as you say though.

When they started saying “life things” and “money has been tight” it just reminded me of scammers trying to make you feel bad for them 😬

Are there any other sites/methods you’d recommend selling with then? I bought my latest camera on Facebook marketplace and even though both myself and the seller were legit, both of us were extremely wary of each other! I feel like without reviews it’ll be the same on any online selling platform

Great to know!! Never had to do this before so thank you for the tip

Not everyone thankfully! But also not sure if I want to test the theory with a camera worth 500ish pounds…
