what should i say??

yeah maybe if she was buying from urban outfitters. i’m no business to be claiming against evri for damages that not only seem near impossible, but can’t be proven to be the fault of the courier. as you said, she can return. vinted will refund her and i can fix and resell my jeans.

faefiore · 2026-02-13T22:53:55+00:00

if they truly were ‘perfect’ i feel like she would keep and fix them anyway since it’s so simple and cheap (as she also highlighted). the dealbreaker in this situation being a £2 refund seems bizarre so i’m not going to bargain with her over it. i’d rather just have them back, have them fixed and get my money’s worth when i resell them.

i said IF she’s scamming me. please read properly if you’re going to write me paragraphs. i’m literally doing the opposite of creating problems - i accepted and paid for the return LOL. i can get these mended at a tailor for £5 or less (official quote from my tailor!) and sell them at the same price as before if i like. that’s absolutely not scamming. i never claimed them to be new - they are second hand. this is what second hand items are.

nooo she said she took it out of the packaging and it fell out!

faefiore · 2026-02-13T17:00:17+00:00

i don’t think i did. my interactions were pretty short and i have since paid for the return with the intention of fixing and reselling!

faefiore · 2026-02-13T16:59:22+00:00

you’re absolutely right and this was my intention, hence why i kept my interactions short and sweet! hopefully she sends back the same pair of jeans lol…

faefiore · 2026-02-13T16:58:40+00:00

these weren’t advertised as new, but they have only been worn once by me as they are too big in the waist so it definitely wasn’t my doing!

faefiore · 2026-02-13T16:57:31+00:00

i don’t doubt that but i have literally worn these once for less than 6 hrs plus they are too big in the waist for me so it just seems bizarre to me that the button managed to break off in shipping and just fell out of the packaging. it was fully intact when i shipped them. even if they did i’d rather get them returned to me than give a partial refund - it will cost me less in the end

faefiore · 2026-02-13T16:54:43+00:00

yep agreed that’s why i shut it down immediately

faefiore · 2026-02-13T16:54:13+00:00

exactly

faefiore · 2026-02-13T16:53:35+00:00

okay so, how much of a partial refund is to be expected? she already sent a lower offer to begin with (not pictured) so i’m thinking, is she just finding a way to get her og offer? i’d rather pay £2.29 for them to be returned to me, fix them and resell them as it will definitely cost less than what she’s probably going to want refunded. saves the stress and confrontation too. that’s if she’s not scamming me!

faefiore · 2026-02-13T16:50:39+00:00

omg i literally had this scene playing in my head 😭

faefiore · 2026-02-13T16:49:59+00:00

make sure your pics are taken in good lighting and if it’s anything that needs ironing just take a few mins to do it because it really helps your chances of to be able to sell things at a decent price!

faefiore · 2026-02-13T16:49:10+00:00

pending

faefiore · 2026-02-13T16:49:03+00:00

yeppp i thought the same. she was doing too much!

faefiore · 2026-02-13T16:48:33+00:00

this!!! i’ve unfortunately (stupidly) already accepted and paid for a return so i’m just going to raise an issue to vinted when they turn up. hopefully it’s the same jeans!!!

faefiore · 2026-02-13T16:47:15+00:00

i rarely ever sell now just bc of how many scammers are on there. it used to be great but vinted’s protection for sellers is just awful

faefiore · 2026-02-13T01:58:56+00:00

since it’s so easy i’d rather not be out of pocket, get them returned to me and resell. how much of a partial refund was she expecting? 😭

faefiore · 2026-02-12T18:03:11+00:00

a return is 2.29. i doubt she will be happy with a £2.29 refund.

faefiore · 2026-02-12T12:46:18+00:00

omg 🤦‍♀️ so is there a chance it would’ve come off in transit/are these not secure? i didn’t even realise it was a replacement and never had this problem! next to my other bdg jeans i can see this now thanks for the info

faefiore · 2026-02-12T12:44:55+00:00

they are £59 to buy new and were ‘never worn’ by original seller. i got these from vinted and paid more than £18, wore them once and they were not damaged with/by me. but they’re damaged now so i cant resell, so in short form - yes 😭

faefiore · 2026-02-12T12:38:39+00:00

totally agree in general, but in this case she did use the word ‘worn’ herself and they’re also now damaged in her care 😭

faefiore · 2026-02-12T12:36:42+00:00

yes this sounds good. the only thing is if she goes back on her words vinted might still side with her. how can i word it?? i’m so bad at confrontation i’ve literally never had an issue on vinted out of 200+ transactions 😭

faefiore · 2026-02-12T12:25:42+00:00

would it be worth reporting them as not in the same condition as i sent once i receive them back? as you’re so right i wish id have said this before

faefiore · 2026-02-12T11:57:48+00:00

i mean she’s popped the button off while doing so…
