I was scammed on Vinted for over £100 for a Gamecube Bundle. If I have helped you with your reselling feel free to buy me a coffee :-) www.buymeacoffee.com/Boldfinds
That's just crazy! Why do people think they can treat other people like that? Surprised you were so chilled about it James. Look forward to seeing what Vinted do about it.

There are loads of these dodgy £102.36 etc… listings with random usernames. Vinted need to stop worrying about resellers and start cleaning up their platform before they get a really bad reputation. Fingers crossed for you.

Original signed up for selling items and ended up purchasing quite a bit, but had loads of issues, 4 out of 10 are broken or missing from bundle, when you send proof to vinted you have to send photos of everything, hard when the items not in the package, or you send photos of packing items emails photos and hundreds of messages and thr seller doesnt even need to provide anything...been scammed a few times but all in all all the lovely girls and chaos I have spoken to are soooo lovely x

I'm glad you put this up. Vinted is not the best. Many of the reviews are not accurate as vinted is not always letting buyers put up negative feedback. I've had orders cancelled yet the automatic feedback tool for negative feedback is not activated. Customer service is appalling and inconsistent. Difficult to chat with anyone

You can leave negative feedback on anything you either buy or sell. If it doesn't show up automatically, you can click on the person's name, then click on the three dots at the top right of the screen, and it will give you the option to leave feedback

Yeah I've noticed this, pretty much all items around £100 and the usernames have random numbers and letters are all scams 😂 Edit - on Vinted you have to pay buyer protection. If you do not let Vinted know there is an issue within 2 days of the item being delivered Vinted release the funds to the seller, this is where the scammers are hoping you don't open a claim quick enough

I just started selling on Vinted. I already had a terrible time as I was trying to purchase an item yet there was some error on the app. So to my shock, my first item apparently got sold. But when I was waiting for confirmation about who I’m sending my item to, a message popped up appearing as an ‘official Vinted member’. So I was obviously suspicious and it seems that I have been scammed in given my email address. It’s a good thing I felt suspicious and reported it. Still waiting for Vinted to respond.

awww no that sucks. Theres alot of scammy sneaker sellers on Vinted too. I think the red flag is the no feedback as a buyer or a seller and i think you can see how long theyve been a member. Hopefully you'll get a refund. I mean Vinted as the broker should have the scammers bank account details (if its even theirs) so they might refer it to the police who knows.

Just made my first purchase of a watch, i spent even money for the verification center. they checked the genuine then shipped to me but they made a mistake on the delivery label writing as receiver the UPS point, who refused the item cause they didn't know the real name and surname of the receiver. They sent back the purchase, i asked vinted to change the delivery address or the name of receiver and the support wrote me then they can't manage the shipping. ahahaahahaa Guys... thery are really bad. Ticket support replied with standard templates and from 7 different people. Bullshit
