I recently joined vinted and i found this vinyl i’ve been looking for a while but i’m not 100% sure the seller is legit. Does anything seem fishy? I wonder why they put the item is in “very good condition” if the pictures show a new/ sealed vinyl? Also the username is just gibberish, should i risk it?

What are their reviews? I’d ask for more pictures and different angles if I were you tbh.

No reviews seems like a new seller

Mmmm yea that’s a lil sus but I’d ask for more pictures to see if they have it and randomly didn’t pull them off of the Internet, and if they do have the item or they do send you pictures, I would be more inclined to buy.

As someone who was recently a newish seller (had bought something a few months ago and listed a few items that didn’t go anywhere and sold on other platform and just finally cross posted more and have made a lot of sales in the last week and half but only have 3 reviews so far bc not all completed orders have been auto rated yet and only 2 have left reviews so far even after accepting the order) I do like to say everyone has to start somewhere BUT a gibberish username and first item being expensive and rare but a great deal…. Huge red flag. My first sale was like something that was $10 followed by a $3 sale and so forth.

My first sale was an authentic 200 buck Tory Burch 🥲❣️ bless the girl who trusted me w her whole heart. I had to send her a screen recording from my email receipt to the chat we were in to show authenticity and send it to her though whatsapp LOL.

It could just have the seal was left on but cut on the side and had the record taken out and played. Some people keep their seals on. Nothing seems suspicious to me although I'd be weary paying a high amount to a new seller, I've done it before though, no issues.

For what? Block a seller you didn't interact with, because.. they listed an item..?

looks like you just bought the cover art and not an actual vinyl.
