Buyer didnt pick up parcel. Postal now wants me to pay more than what I sold it for.
I sold an Item (for just 3€ btw) and the buyer didnt pick it up. The parcel got sent back me. Now postal services want ME to pay 6,32€.
Ive contacted the buyer, who lives in the same city as I do, but they ghost me. Vinted support claimed they would get back at me within 48 hours, but its now 80+ and no response.
Obviously im not going to pay 6,32€ for an item I sold for 3€. Even if I sell it again for the same price I make a loss and wasted extra time.
Vinted says, that the buyer will get the refund as soon as I say i received the item. But I wonder what happens if I just dont pick it up. Will vinted just keep the money?
3€ isnt worth any hassle and it isnt really why I worry. But if something as simple as someone not picking their order causes me to either lose money (even though im not at fault) or my product, then it severely erodes my trust in the platform. This time it may have been just 3€, next time it could be more
So what should I do?
