Delivery pricing

Has anyone noticed the price difference between ‘ship to pick up point’ and ‘ship to home’?

The difference is crazy!!

"My Item is Lost" not appearing on listing after 25 days?

One of my items that is delayed / lost from France has passed the 25 day limit where I can raise an issue to claim a refund, however the option to do so still hasn't appeared on the listing.

Has this happened to anyone else, and does the listing eventually update? I am aware of the two day limit!

Anyone else having delays from shipments from France?

I put an order in weeks ago that was shipped promptly from the seller (who's also been very communicative). It seems like it's been stuck at the 'sort facility' for over two weeks, and the local postal service (An Post) has been waiting to receive it for as long.

I've made a few Vinted orders before but have never experienced this type of delay... Are my shoes lost or have I just been lucky until now?

Inside Ireland An Post Delays

Has anyone else been experiencing within Ireland An Post delays since last week?

I’ve had a number of orders, bought and sold, where they haven’t been delivered.

They can’t be incorrectly priced as only small items.

I’ve received the notice saying they’re aware of the delays and if it’s not delivered by xx date, I will be refunded.

Normally it’s next day delivery in Ireland.

Could this be due to An Post staff holidays and temporary summer staff?

Any thoughts?

Item incorrectly listed and damaged

First 2 images are what I received and after are screenshots of the item listing with description. Last 3 images are the messages back and forth with seller. I even opened the listing photos in full and you can’t see the wire broken or not in any of them.

I reported it as not as described and damaged clearly before be posted as it was securely wrapped in bubble wrap, paper and in a box and a chunk of the wire casing is actually missing not just torn.

Seller offered €2 refund which doesn’t even cover postage but I was looking for full which is €14 before buyers fee, shipping etc as I’d be worried about fire safety with the hair straightener and don’t want to wait ages trying and probably failing to resell because of the damage. Seller has over 70 5 star reviews so I assumed I’d receive what was advertised but this is what I got instead.

So what would everyone suggest I do? Push for refund even if I have to pay return shipping?

I’ve been scammed 😱

I’ve been scammed buying shoes from France (didn’t realise until after I ordered where it was coming from). My first purchase ever on vinted. I am so sad. I feel very dumb 😭

I’ve put in the complaint. These shoes are very clearly fake as the lining isn’t even sewn in properly and the materials used are so cheap.

I don’t really understand the process, but what are my chances of getting any of my money back?

I don’t feel very optimistic as so far my dealings with vinted have not been great. I tried to post my original shoes up as I got the wrong size and they deleted my listing as being counterfeit. Go figure cause they are definitely real and I even included the receipt.

How Would You Deal With This

So I sold over 60 things on Vinted by now, as I am moving back home and I am clearing my house. But most of the things I sell are a lot of baby stuff, including electronics, toys, clothes, bedding, everything. I only have 5 stars on all my transactions and I do care a lot about them, I describe all my items with attention and accuracy. My son is 2 years old so by all means everything I have related to him has been used last perhaps a number of months ago.

I sold the baby monitor we had used, a month ago. I cleaned it, check if it was working, packed it in its original box with his little booklet and sent it hours after the buyer bought it. It arrived the next day, was picked up and the buyer left a 5 stars review saying it was perfect and the shipping was insanely fast.

Fast forward to yesterday I notice my reviews rating is now 4.9 and I am obviously not happy about it. I scroll down to find what happened and lo and behold its the monitor review, 32 days ago, and now has a 1 star review claiming it was a scam and the battery holds less than 5 minutes.

Now I realized It did not occur to me to check how long the battery holds as I did use this monitor something like 7-8 months ago without an issue as in it was working just as it did when new. I did check whether it was still turning on and transmitting which it was.

Now, the unit has a battery enclosure that opens up like with any normal electronic device but it does not use loose batteries, it has a 3 or 4 (can't recall) AAA battery pack which I have in the past replaced for things like remote contorlled cars for my son. Had I known this was an issue, I would have most definitely replaced them myself or at the very least I would have disclosed it. I do not see it as an issue.

But the buyer never contacted me about it, nor did he raise an issue with Vinted. Now I just have this 1 star review calling me a scam. I did not feel like messaging them, so I just replied to the feedback expressing that I was very sorry and I hadn't known, that they have not given me a chance to help and that the batteries can be changed and the monitor still works if plugged.

What would be the best way to deal with this in your opinion?

Delayed order

I ordered two items from different sellers based in France around the same time and both have been delayed for more than 3 weeks now and don’t seem to be moving. Usually I would get a notification from AnPost saying they have my package, but they don’t seem to have received it yet. One of the sellers contacted me to say they had received confirmation of delivery on their end from Mondial Relay, but I have yet to receive anything.

I contacted AnPost through their website but haven’t heard anything back.

Wondering if anyone else has experienced this and can offer advice? And if it comes to it, how difficult is it to report the items missing and get a refund?

I've figured out a way to get rid of those annoying notifications...

At least for me.

Go into My Orders and briefly click into each recent order (sold, bought, in progress, cancelled, completed). This seems to clear the notifications when the Messages view doesn't

Anything else I can do?

I came across a french seller selling what sort of looked like n*zi memorabilia. I reported the listings to vinted but is there anything else I can do because I kind of feel like vinted isn't even going to look at it properly.

“My Vinted account was permanently banned shortly after I listed some genuine SHEIN items. I’ve appealed and am waiting for a manual review. Has anyone else had their account mistakenly flagged by Vinted’s automated system?

The account is 2month old it I had purchased some stuff through it. Several times
And last week I had few items brand new I wanted to selll

I listed 3/4 of them and they stayed on 0views for the past hour and then I got blocked straight away accusing me of several things etc

So I wanted to list them on one of the family members account while they review my situation and it got banned because I created another account

I don’t get how tf this auto system work I bet they will eventually lose a lot of money out of it

People who hasn’t done anything getting banned right now

2 accounts got ban in lesss than 24hours
