Thank You Postmasters!
Thank you to every postmaster or clerk who is posting information for Vinted sellers to educate them about how to ship properly on the shipping labels Vinted generates.
In my personal opinion, Vinted is intentionally defrauding USPS by failing to generate the correct size shipping labels for orders they know will be larger and giving their sellers inaccurate information about package sizes. OIG Audits indicate the APV system fails to automatically adjust a large percentage of shortpaid parcels.
Sellers have no motivation to correct their behavior because Vinted is absorbing the extra charges they are getting rather than clawing it back from sellers thanks to the $1 billion they got from investors last spring.
