Vinted Shoppers Share Displeasure Regarding Size Modifications
Shoppers are voicing their frustration due to a modification that led to items being listed as the wrong size.
The popular resale platform has revised its sizing categories for women's and children's clothes failing to inform all users about the change.
Online Platforms Reaction
Numerous buyers and vendors are expressing on platforms claiming that product pages now present a different size category versus the original listing due to the recalibration.
Vinted explained the revised method more closely matches similar services.
They have suggested members to check their listings and manually change the size if necessary, resulting in member annoyance.
Measurement Approach Modifications
Earlier, the measurements included numerical and alphabetical indicators, like S/8 or M/10.
The revised method features a letter and a range for example S/UK 8-10.
In some cases, the sizing has been recategorised - for example a size L was formerly size 12 but is now a UK 16-18.
User Experiences
A fashion influencer, who produces content about larger sizing, stated the update "complicates both purchasing and selling".
"Few clothing companies classify XL as 20-22," which is what Vinted now does.
Stephanie Gallen, based in Glasgow, explained products she uploaded with size 14 tags were showing in the marketplace as size 20–22.
"If buyers measuring 20-22 acquire them they will likely be quite upset," she said.
Necessary Adjustments
Another shopper, from Derby, said she had been left angered by the change as she had to manually change the sizes on "every single listing".
"This situation is especially annoying, since I have chronic health issues and selling on Vinted has been paramount after experiencing income reduction," she explained.
Service Background
The service features exceeding 100 million shoppers, comprising 18 million UK members.
It has become a favored option compared to resale services such as eBay and Depop.
This is not the initial instance when a surprising modification within the service has received backlash: last year, the service retracted a modification to its shipping options after backlash from users.
