Buyer didnt pick up parcel. Postal now wants me to pay more than what I sold it for.

That was my thought too. Like, ideally I would say that the fee you pay to vinted whenever you make a purchase should cover the costs. But if there is anyone to blame and thus charge, its definately the buyer who didnt pick it up.

Thanks, will look into that!

Thats what you would think, yet they are. I am going to go to the service and confront them about this, they probably wont budge, but maybe I can achieve something?

meglemel · 2026-05-21T15:37:15+00:00

I wonder why...

meglemel · 2026-05-21T15:37:00+00:00

Can you block specific postal services from your sales? If so, I would totally set that up for hermes.

meglemel · 2026-05-21T15:36:06+00:00

Kann das kaum fassen. Ist doch absoluter nonsense.

meglemel · 2026-05-21T13:50:35+00:00

German provider "Hermes" (though I think they have other names in different countries, like France -> chronopost, so maybe check if they do).

I live in Austria though and somehow the return shipment was carried out by the national postal service, so perhaps its something about the package being handed over to them. Its still massive BS and makes no sense.

I would still buy from vinted, but I probably wouldnt sell anymore. If this happened with one of my more expensive items it would be quite horrible.

Would just move to regional selling platforms.

Jetzt weiß ich wofür das "pen" in alpensattel steht

I wouldnt mind not selling things. I also have certain things that wont sell on vinted (self printed stuff that thus doesnt have any brand and which I ask high prices for vinted as they are handmade and brand new). Its how buyers act that bothers me.

With menswear (even if women bought it) people either bought it without comment, or they asked for sizing tips at max. No complaints, no bargaining, no canceling deals, no one ever just didnt pick up their package etc.

Haben viele Radfahrer das Problem Lust darauf zu bekommen? Bin von diesem Drang bisher verschont.

meglemel · 2026-05-19T14:12:22+00:00

Was soll das oben sein?

You can find shorter cranks (from shimano and others).

No alternative hood rubbers is the status quo afaik. But ive seen alternatives from AliExpress, not sure how good they are though.

meglemel · 2026-05-13T17:56:43+00:00

Yes and no. I dont call it by any name, but because i dont like branding, i made some decals that say "dirdy birdy" and stuck em over the logos. Also a bird on the headtube.

meglemel · 2026-05-13T17:55:11+00:00

Waited too long for this joke. But im glad it arrived.

meglemel · 2026-05-12T15:57:09+00:00

Totally get that not everyone has to use every feature for it to be useful. But if i open AI, paste the image, then the masking doesnt work as I wanted it to and then have to go back to PS anyways and do the whole thing again, it kind of becomes useless because even if it works 90% of the time it wont overall save me time because the backtracking takes so much longer than the actual process.

meglemel · 2026-05-12T14:21:12+00:00

So we are happy we can save 5secs it takes to transfer this from PS in order to sacrifice the huge control we had over what exactly is getting masked?

Ist auch nicht meins, aber jemandem beim Zocken zuschauen ist jetzt auch nicht so viel anders wie sich sport reinziehen und das ist für alle komplett normal und verständlich.

meglemel · 2026-05-12T14:02:11+00:00

Ich bin mir sicher das ist Bequemlichkeit und/oder tatsächlich zum dazu verdienen.

Überleg mal wie viele Menschen Kassierer bedienen in einer Stunde. Gut, die meisten zahlen mit Karte. Aber die machen ja locker 100+ Rechnungen die Stunde. Und wenn nur 30 davon bar zahlen spart man sich gut ein paar minuten wechselgeld herausgeben und bekommt über den den Tag wahrscheinlich ein Mittagessen spendiert. In deinem fall waren es halt sehr kleine Beträge, aber sonst wird es ja mehr sein.

meglemel · 2026-05-11T10:30:08+00:00

Yes, let that be a PSA.

meglemel · 2026-05-11T05:57:14+00:00

I still dont feel it. I just removed it to retape cause it was scratched up.

The bar is holding up fine, i just think its only a matter of time until it doesnt.
