Vinted Shoppers Express Displeasure Regarding Size Changes
Shoppers are voicing their frustration due to a modification that led to listings displaying inaccurate size information.
The second-hand shopping app has altered its size classifications for women's and children's clothes but did not contact every member regarding the update.
Social Media Response
Numerous buyers and vendors are expressing on platforms saying Vinted listings now show a different size category compared to what was initially listed as a result of the reclassification.
Vinted explained the revised method more closely matches similar services.
It has advised users to review their products and update the measurements by hand where appropriate, causing user dissatisfaction.
Size Classification Updates
Earlier, the sizing featured a single numeric size and a letter, such as S/8 or M/10.
The revised method features a letter with a size spectrum like S/UK 8-10.
In some cases, the sizing has been recategorised - such as a large size was previously a 12 but currently displays as UK 16-18.
User Experiences
A fashion influencer, who creates plus-size fashion videos, stated the update "complicates both purchasing and selling".
"Rarely do manufacturers list XL as sizes 20-22," as the platform currently indicates.
Stephanie Gallen, based in Glasgow, stated items she posted with size 14 tags were showing in the marketplace as measurements 20-22.
"If anyone [who is] size 20-22 buys them they will likely be quite upset," she stated.
Necessary Adjustments
A different user, from Derby, stated she felt frustrated by the change as she had to manually change the sizing for "all her products".
"This situation is especially annoying, as I'm chronically ill and Vinted sales have been crucial after experiencing income reduction," she said.
Platform Context
The platform boasts over 100 million shoppers, comprising 18 million UK members.
It has emerged as a preferred choice to second-hand platforms like eBay and Depop.
This represents another occasion where an unanticipated change on the platform has faced criticism: last year, the platform withdrew an update concerning shipment methods due to shopper criticism.
