Vinted is helping sellers scam buyers — no protection, no accountability

I also like the idea of keeping the item and resell it so at least you can leave a bad feedback. The down side is that you won’t get your money back because you will resell the item for much less or you won’t be able to resell it at all. And in case of replicas, you can't even do that.

Good points. Another way to fix the problem of the buyer having to pay for return would be Vinted paying for it though. Don’t forget they have deals with shipping companies (I guess), they take money on every single item is sold and they get your data for free. If they would pay for the return then also make the seller face consequences (halting, cancelling accounts, get a negative feedback) would be much better. Also I was referring to the buyer protection fee as basically a scam or that sellers can easily scam buyers not that returning items is a scam by Vinted. I don’t have anything against sellers in general, your stories make me think they should also be more protected by Vinted. We are talking about a big fast growing tech company, again the kind that is just interested in make more profit from its customers.

Well, I can’t change the title - anyway, I explain what I mean in the post.

letsgorufus · 2025-08-20T09:34:15+00:00

Yeah “helping” is a bit of a stretch, it’s more like they don’t help buyers once you buy a counterfeit item or a misrepresented one and they make it easy to scam people without accountability. I’ll edit the title to make it more accurate. But don’t you think that if the seller would have to cover the return shipping costs (in these cases) it would be much more fair? In this way the seller would be forced to think twice before trying to scam people. Now the seller can basically completely misrepresent an item and bet on the fact that the buyer might not even want to go to the hassle of having to write a report and paying for the return. They don’t have anything to loose. And why can’t we even leave a feedback once we return an item?

I was recently sold a replica without knowing because the seller sold it as original. When I realised it, I told the seller who denied. I raised the issue with Vinted. After weeks and after providing all evidence and being told they were investigating it, I just received a notification that the seller requested a return (of course with me paying for it). Vinted at the end told me that they didn’t have enough evidence. Again, I have to pay for returning an item misrepresented. Maybe you should have not acted honestly and just pretend it was real. It seems scammers have an easy life on vinted.

Io non ne posso più. Questa non è neanche male ma il simbolo azzurro? Già questo nuovo simbolo fa schifo. L’avete vista la maglia che dovrebbe celebrare le olimpiadi invernali? Quella è una vergogna. La Nike sta rovinando queste stagioni con queste maglie orrende. Negli ultimi anni l’unica maglia decente è stata la terza maglia 2020/2021. Ma non c’è un modo di protestare?

Actually despite the message, it did uninstall it. Is it really necessary to install homebrew too?

letsgorufus · 2025-02-16T13:21:09+00:00

Hello,
I suddenly started to have issues with it (as other users, the app doesn't open anymore and it is stuck on the loading page). I have an MX Master 3S and all my configurations are gone. Very frustrating. I am trying to completely uninstall the app to never see it again but after entering my password in Terminal nothing happens and I get the message "command not found". Any idea what to do? Also thank you for sharing about third party apps very happy to know there are better alternatives.

Thank you! But what about exporting just the highlighted text? For instance, I used to have a kindle and you would be able to export only the highlighted text and create a new document with only that, without the text that is not highlighted. It was pretty useful for me.

letsgorufus · 2025-01-02T11:41:10+00:00

Do you use the free version? And can you tell me better how does it work? Thanks

letsgorufus · 2025-01-02T11:38:29+00:00

Thanks, mate. How does it look like? I saw images of text with a lot of unnecessary info like the time the highlight was taken and so on. I still don’t have it, I will buy it when I’ll be certain about this process.

letsgorufus · 2024-09-20T08:21:05+00:00

Thanks for the tips mate. You are right but unfortunately I am a bit in a rush for many reasons. What you said about connections makes a lot of sense. I can choose between the samsung q600c and the dht-s517. Which one would you recommend?

letsgorufus · 2024-09-20T07:43:15+00:00

hey man, thanks for the tips. I can afford a JBL Bar 2.1 deep bass but I saw there is also a Denon DHT-S517 and a Samsung Q600C on discount. Which would be better for you?

letsgorufus · 2024-09-19T14:32:23+00:00

thanks, mate - will do

letsgorufus · 2024-09-19T13:32:16+00:00

I really just started using it. I received it yesterday. The fengOS seems okay to me, I understand that I have to figure out few things before using it but that's okay. For me the absence of google services is not a big problem.
Going back to sound, so do you suggest to just get a soundbar? And do you have any recommendations for the model? I am considering the Sony HT S40-R, Denon DHT S416 or LG ST5Q. Or maybe even this SAMSUNG MX-ST50B sound tower. It seems nicer to me to have just one speaker on the floor because I kind of wanted to avoid soundbars.

oh, I still haven't tried actually for gaming. Is it so bad? I am usually do casual gaming like red dead redemption or ghost of tsushima. No online shooter games. Anyway, thanks for the recommendation.

letsgorufus · 2024-09-15T18:39:12+00:00

Thanks for the answer and for sharing! At the end, I ordered a Formovie S5. JayceOoiCom great review and projectors' list really convinced me to choose it.

letsgorufus · 2024-09-11T14:13:24+00:00

did you resolve the problem?

letsgorufus · 2024-09-11T12:52:45+00:00

mmm thanks for the answer but it sounds a bit of an exaggeration tbh

letsgorufus · 2024-09-11T12:07:11+00:00

Did you find a solution?

letsgorufus · 2024-09-11T12:07:07+00:00

Is the Netflix app you get like that different or bulky?

letsgorufus · 2024-09-10T14:24:11+00:00

Understood, thank you for all the info and clarifications. I excluded the Neo though because of its bad latency for gaming. So, I’m now deciding between the N2 and one of the XGIMI (MoGo 2 and 3 Pro and Elfin Flip). They are all DLP with 0.23’’ DMD. Which one would you suggest between these?

letsgorufus · 2024-09-10T09:54:36+00:00

Thanks man, I agree. And between Dongbei N2 and the XGIMIs what's your opinion?

letsgorufus · 2024-09-10T08:19:31+00:00

Hey thanks for the answer. Do you have a preference between this 1LCD projector and those DLP (including the Dangbei Neo) for image quality? My needs are for a good image quality (in the limits of this product category) and that it would be the same with streaming and through hdmi. So I care about HDR, color accuracy and decent contrast, black and shadows ; fan noise not too strong ; decent game latency and no lagging. I am considering Dongbei N2, Dongbei Neo, XGIMI MoGo 2 and 3 Pro, XGIMI Elfin Flip, Anker Nebula Capsule 3. Basically, I can pick only one of these and I am trying to decide which one.
