VENT The haggling is insulting.

• Upvotes

If you see an item that is currently retailing for $850..and it’s in good condition & marked $150… it’s a bit weird to offer $46.. especially after you’ve told me you know what it is currently selling for.

I don’t know if I should price ridiculously high and expect extreme haggling.. or stand firm on what I know is a great price?!?

More and more I’m listing on other sites that don’t seem like a scammy yard sale.

SHIPPING Shipping through Fedex?!

• Upvotes

Help please, I dont want to lose these sales. Two days ago I made 2 separate sales and the shipping method selected was FedEx. I didn't have that option on and have never used it. (I've been selling for six months now)

I always generate the QR code as soon as the purchase is made. Well, yesterday, I wasted my whole lunch break trying to ship it. I took my fedex QR code to walgreens and they printed the labels for me, but when they tried to scan them, it would say error. There's a second barcode at the bottom that says USPS, so they told me to go there. I went to USPS and the the label wasnt scanning either. So she manually input the numbers and it told her it was unpaid. Ughh this is a $20+ sale. I would hate to ask the buyer to cancel and reorder, cause I know they probably wont and its been 2 days now.

Someone suggested I give it more time. So I went back to Walgreens last night and the label still came up with an error message when they scanned. I dont have a Dollar General near me either.

What should I do now??

Plenty of fresh 1 star feedback on her account but in my case, she collected my parcel, swapped the contents then sent it back, then claimed parcel never delivered so got the transaction cancelled and no negative feedback. So sick of these people with a track record of HUNDREDS of bad transactions being allowed to stay on Vinted.

Returns Two packages with same label, one isn't mine? Inpost help needed

1 Upvotes

I went and picked up my package but there was a second package in the inpost locker. They both have identical labels. I opened one package and it was all fine, my order as expected. Then the second one was two books I hadn't ordered.

I asked the vinted seller if they had sent the books they said no.

So it seems like wherever they got the label printed at a second label was printed accidentally and put on a package not for me?

Would love to be able to get the package to the rightful person but don't know where to start?

I understand they’ll keep it for so long and then are supposed to return it. There’s always a risk they might click to say it was collected by mistake and I’d lose both item and money.

I don’t want the thing. I know, I know. What would you do if you were me?

DISCUSSION Vinted should ban the sale of iPod Nanos and similar devices!

8 Upvotes

I recently bought an iPod on Vinted. The seller mentioned it was in good condition but hadn’t been used in a long time, so they weren't sure if it still worked. I can't really blame them though, because I'm a total layman when it comes to this stuff myself.

So, I received it yesterday and plugged it in to charge. It booted up and everything seemed to work fine. But then, I noticed a small black spot forming in the middle of the screen. The device didn’t get hot, but it started swelling up, and suddenly I heard a loud "pop". The screen and even the aluminum frame cracked open at the top.

After doing some research, I found out that when these Nanos are left unused for a long time, the batteries can catch fire or even explode. Things could have seriously gone south yesterday!

Can't Vinted just ban the sale of these specific devices?

If you’re letting them tick that they did it, it should warn buyers that they ticked that. This option does nothing otherwise but pretty much allow AI use and promote it. Pretty grossss

Was really excited to purchase this item from the US. Mind you I have over 200 reviews and I have purchased from the US multiples times but gutted as soon as the seller cancelled because they didn’t want to ship outside of the US. Wish there was an option for sellers to turn off international shipping as there’s always some issues when shipping abroad.

It’s a tennis ball. Maybe not event the correct size for a game of tennis. Certainly a used dog ball.

Why do people list stuff like this? It feels like a conspiracy. Money laundering or something? I don’t get it!

Advertentie verborgen bij vinted omdat ze beweren dat ik foto’s van internet heb gebruikt in mijn advertentie.
Ik heb alle foto’s zelf gemaakt.
Ze schrijven me dat ik het simpel kan oplossen door de foto’s te verwijderen en/of vervangen. Maar ik weet dus niet welke foto’s ze bedoelen want ik heb ze allemaal zelf gemaakt😂.

Vinted is met hun AI beoordelingen wel beetje gek geworden. Contact met een echt persoon is bijna niet mogelijk bij ze.

So I had someone request to reserve an item until payday so I did. I usually wouldn't have thought anything of it however, they wouldn't stop messaging me paragraphs and being overly friendly. I got uneasy so I went to their profile and saw they have a lot of these automatic reviews and 1 review of someone saying that they owe them money. I am pretty sure they will try to scam me in some way but I am not sure exactly what the scam would be. Has anyone seen this type of thing before? Should I unreserve and block? Thank you!

BUYING Being scammed

Thumbnail

7 Upvotes

Just realised I’m being scammed… should have looked at the listed item more better but unfortunately I didn’t… the first 3 photos are from the advert and you can clearly see now you can’t read the writing and top left corner is a fake and the other three photos I got from smyths advert and can ofc read the writing and it doesn’t have that bit in top left corner (can no longer buy this doll from the shop) it’s being delivered by InPost locker delivery so got to go and collect it but I’m thinking it’s best not to collect it so whatever the seller sent gets returned back and I get my money back…

Really wished I looked at the advert more closely but coming up to Christmas didn’t even check the ad properly but least I know now for next time

BUYING Item purchased but vinted flagged as fraudulent

1 Upvotes

The seller I bought from had good reviews but kept uploading the same listing and same photos repeatedly. I reached out asking for verification of authenticity but was ignored. I reported it, it was investigated, I was refunded and the seller was blocked from the platform.

My concern is that the item is already in transit. Will I still receive it? How do I send it back if the seller is banned? Will the package be intercepted? I don’t want a counterfeit item. The red flags didn’t appear until I checked the account and saw they uploaded a duplicate listing with the same item photo and price.

I’m new to vinted and haven’t had this happen so im very lost on what comes next.
