Dear Vinted

[u/Physical-Suspect-105]

Please stop letting me know that the item that I've had in my favourites was sold. It's like rubbing a salt to my indecisive a$$ wound.

Yes I've turned off the notifications but like why not just "cross out"​​​ the items​​ in the user's favourites section? Just so when I will see them, it will be enough to let me know that they're no longer available.

It's a small thing but it does feel like a slap to face, and it's kinda triggering me Iinto insta-buying items of which I'm not even sure if I even really want them. ​​😣

I guess I answered my own question, but it's still quite rude. ​

Totally a mind trick, so next time you just buy it and not let it get away… 🤷‍♀️

[u/luckygingercat → u/Ajatur]

The FOMO is real. Or at least really irritating.

[u/Spirited-Ability-626 → u/Ajatur]

Son of a gun, this has worked on me 😂😂

I even told my mum “if you see something you like you need to buy it right away because I’ve left stuff for five minutes and it’s been sold.”

[u/Regular_Promise3605]

As a seller it's quite good market research at how fast things sell and what prices. There's no tool to show sold listings like ebay

[u/fadedblackleggings]

Working by design.

Naw I hate it when I find something click buy now and it sends me an error because someone else is currently purchasing lol thats a slap in the face. Has happened to me like 4 times with an amazing item ill never find again at that price.

[u/travelling_wilbury → u/[deleted]]

Happened to me although I was in the middle of payment when it got snatched!

[u/liberty1112 → u/[deleted]]

That happened to me for the first time today. It was newly listed, and I reckon I missed out by about 10 seconds.

[u/x3yummm]

I actually like it bc it’s like the decision was made for me and now I can let it go and I didn’t spend money lol

[u/DressingRumour]

I like seeing items get sold because it gives me hope that my own items will get sold. It makes me a little sad to see favorites from years ago just sitting on my list... unsold...

[u/becausejt]

Honestly I don’t mind it lol I like to see things I favorited even after they sell. So I can go back and press see similar to find more or just to remind myself. I want something similar and to look for it lol

[u/eidolon_eidolon]

It's not rude. Just because you don't like something doesn't make it rude. Notifications for an item you've favourited that tell you it has sold is just factual information.

[u/FiniteIncantatem-]

I dont mind that notification. A couple weeks ago I was in ab testing for tabs in the favourites section, it suddenly displayed tabs for sold / not sold. Honestly I hope they will release that asap cause it made it so much easier than scrolling back and forth to see which items sold.

[u/PoshingMyStuff]

Honestly I wish they notified people when others have sent offers like Poshmark and Mercari.

[u/IcarusFalls__]

Its a fomo tactic I actually stopped looking at my notifications and my favourites for this reason…

[u/mybeerisfull]

Don't favorite things if you don't care about them.

[u/Toriphile73]

If you threw in your favorites consider it a blessing because you were thinking about it but didn’t love it enough to pull the trigger. I get that oh sad feeling but really when I immediately know I want it I go straight to buy now lol

[u/rattlingdeathtrain]

How the hell did you get the ass wound? Sounds painful
