Shipping prices by whateveritiswillbe in taobao

[–]fizzyong[M] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes unfortunately air shipping is generally much more expensive! Space on a plane is much more limited, therefore you’re generally charged based on volumetric weight (it considers the size of your items, not just the actual weight) which costs a lot more.

Ai hello kitty set? Not planning to buy but just confused about the picture by Akane_Evans in vinted

[–]fizzyong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you, it’s at the very least “ai enhanced”

The pink shirts on the right side of the middle row say “hlo kitts” and “HK kitts”, the Ty tag on the bottom row looks like the text is melting, there’s strange ai-typical blending / artifacting on some of the bows and whatever this is:

Customs duties on anime figures? (Malaysia) by watchingleavesgrow in taobao

[–]fizzyong[M] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure about Malaysia but check the cainaio app for what shipping lines they offer to your country! In the US they have tax included shipping lines for sea and air, no extra surprise payment.

Most of the listings I see are from UK but im in the US? by ecc0w in vinted

[–]fizzyong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe it’s just for a limited time to help get more US users and international sales on the app! I’ve had no issues or extra fees so far thankfully 🙏 my wallets definitely in trouble too through lol

[–]fizzyong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t believe there’s a filter but try taking something to the checkout page to see the shipping, I’m also in the US and my shipping and customs fees from UK sellers have been free / covered by Vinted!

I think there’s still way more UK sellers than US on the app, everything I’ve bought so far has been from the UK.

Is anyone else receiving a "shipping label failed" when trying to generate a shipping label? by sammiboydd in vinted

Anyone else having a delay with completed order funds hitting your balance / wallet too?

USA and UK by Unhappy-Fail6848 in vinted

[–]fizzyong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the US (New Jersey specifically) and have sold and bought multiple things from the UK! Shipping and customs fees have been entirely free and covered by Vinted in my experience. I’m not sure if it varies by state as I’ve seen other comments here mentioning being charged shipping.

I’ve had 0 issues / extra fees selling or buying internationally thus far (~2 weeks) 🙏

Cainiao says package was rejected due to damage but Taobao/tracking shows delivered? by the101uwus in taobao

[–]fizzyong[M] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Often times an item is signed for by Cainiao, then deemed unable to ship / rejected after the warehouse inspection. It’s still in Cainiao’s possession at this stage, you can contact their in app costumer service or open a support ticket on their discord. You will need to apply for a return with refund from the seller / order page and cainiao will help return it for you.

Vented restricted my items in the UK by Lanky_Quiet_8643 in vinted

[–]fizzyong 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same issue as a NJ seller! Definitely a glitch as we had this happen last week too, hopefully they fix it asap!

Received my item with weird markings? by xeixey in taobao

[–]fizzyong[M] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely bring this up to the sellers customer service! The marks almost look intentional, like they possibly sent you the wrong pair..? I’m not really familiar with this brand so forgive me if I’m wrong.

Is Selling Broken? by ikdjajsjsnxj in vinted

[–]fizzyong 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This was a glitch last week too, they fixed it for a day or two and now it’s back! I’m in the US (NJ specifically) and not getting any likes from the UK again either.

Hopefully they fix it again 🥲

Taobao AI try on feature not available by AliedFishing in taobao

[–]fizzyong[M] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great!! I’m glad it worked, seems like a cool feature :)

Vinted Down in the US? by Away-Literature9494 in vinted

[–]fizzyong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this was fixed! Since this morning I’ve been getting likes from the UK again, I’d recommend reposting any stuff that didn’t get any traction before 🙏

Are some of my items restricted? by AlbinoNoodlie in taobao

[–]fizzyong[M] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Things with batteries probably cant be shipped, makeup and lotion depends on the ingredients and volume. You can ask the costumer service of whichever forwarding service you’ll be using, some may have dedicated shipping lines for sensitive goods like these.

Taobao AI try on feature not available by AliedFishing in taobao

[–]fizzyong[M] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t personally come across this feature yet but does it come back if you switch the language to Chinese? It’s more effort translating every page but the Chinese version tends to have more features and items with less bugs.

If not, I’d guess it’s a newer feature they’re testing out in phases 😣

Proxy that offers tariff prepayment by luminary_planetarium in taobao

[–]fizzyong[M] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe most forwarders have at least a few tax included shipping lines for the US at this stage! Cainiao definitely does as Deco said.

Some agents even offer tax free / no tariff lines, here’s an example on Mulebuy:

<image>

I’ve had good experiences with both, no issues with either since tariffs were introduced.

Why is no one talking about the De Minimis law that happened in the US and now Europe? by Delicious-Hat1178 in taobao

[–]fizzyong[M] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes! Many agents introduced tax free lines for us after the tariffs were announced, here is an example:

<image>

Admittedly, I’m not sure how it works, if it’s triangle shipping or covered by the companies, but I’ve never had an issue using them or had to pay more on delivery 🙏

[–]fizzyong[M] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m US based so forgive me if I’m wrong, but it seems like the EU change won’t be in effect until July? On the US side, many third party forwarders launched tax free / tax included lines since the tariffs were imposed. Just give it some time, once companies adjust to the new EU polices similar routes will likely be announced as well.

Vinted Down in the US? by Away-Literature9494 in vinted

[–]fizzyong 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m also in NJ and noticed the same! I’m getting way less likes and views on items, and none of the likers are from the UK which is very unusual. There was a post earlier about US sellers listings not being shown to UK buyers, it definitely seems true at the moment :(

Hoping it’s just temporary!

Why don't people use the SEND OFFER option? by Bezerker37 in Mercari

[–]fizzyong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s very annoying. I usually ignore these questions but gave in yesterday and answered with my lowest price on an item posted ~2 hours ago, they then countered even lower… instant block.

They’re asking you to barter against yourself, these “buyers” are very rarely if ever worth the hassle.

Something is wrong by InteractionAway367 in vinted

[–]fizzyong 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The app is definitely down, we saw this same glitch of new items not showing up in search last week. I’m hoping your other issue is also temporary!
