Thoughts on Vinted quietly renaming its buyer protection fee, and Royal Mail putting parcels up again
Vinted's "buyer protection fee" is now just the "Vinted fee" (UK), and Royal Mail went up again
Vinted's UK price list doesn't say "Buyer Protection fee" any more. It's the "Vinted fee" now, a "mandatory platform fee" for running the site. New terms kicked in today too
Rate looks the same as far as I can tell, still 3-8% plus 30p-80p. Refunds for lost / damaged / not as described are still a thing, they've just been moved into their own refund policy
Also in case anyone missed it, Royal Mail put parcel prices up on Monday. Tracked 48 small parcel is £3.75 online now (was £3.65), Tracked 24 is £4.80 (was £4.65). 2nd class with no tracking is £4.40 online, so you're paying 65p more for less. Not sure why anyone still uses it.
Curious if anyone's changing how they post or price because of it?
