Just another scammer
It seems Vinted has more and more scams now!
Unfortunately my child is obsessed with Pokemon and anyone who has tried to find and buy Pokemon cards retail understands it’s near impossible.
I bought an Ogerpon Box and 4 singular packs (the former I never opened as I assumed that was tampered with also) from a seller only to discover soon after delivery that the packs were resealed. Messaged the seller within 5 minutes of delivery, packaged them back up in the original box and sent them back within a couple of hours.
Seller is now claiming I’ve damaged the items (which makes no sense, why would I damage resealed products - what would I achieve?) and I’m now waiting for Vinted to make a decision on it. Fortunately I videoed the packing and delivery of this item so should all be ok but the audacity to sell resealed items in the first place AND then try to keep my money when items have been returned.
Luckily this is the first time I’ve ever had issues with Vinted users after being on the platform for over 4 years and selling 400+ items myself. I’m annoyed at myself, I shouldn’t have bought singular packs as it’s known that this happens but my sons bday was coming up, this seller had good reviews and it’s IMPOSSIBLE to get any in retail.
Avoid seller, nothing she’s selling you can’t get from legitimate pro sellers on Vinted or other sites. She’s clearly buying out Pokemon products for profit (which is what it is, but is a bit annoying for parents like me whose kids want to rip packs but alas, wouldn’t be so bad if she wasn’t a scammer). I’ve bought lots of pokemon products from amazing sellers with no problems at all so it’s a shame this seller has ruined that.
I understand to an extent why Vinted doesn’t allow reviews when items have been returned etc but it is frustrating when you can’t leave reviews in circumstances like this to warn other buyers. This must happen all the time yet there’s no way it can be highlighted on Vinted itself.
Although there are legitimate sellers on Vinted and I’ve had the pleasure of buying from them, I have learned my lesson and will not be buying any more Pokemon products on this site. Vinted used to have a really nice feel to it, like an online bootsale, now it just feels like the platform is being ruined by scams.
