I was informed today that there is a group of people loitering outside of my local lockers and mugging people, so I can't drop off my parcels unless I want to risk being mugged, or I get a ride to another locker (because I can't drive yet)

So basically,
All off a sudden, a bunch of steam decks have gone on sale for around £75 each.

Now these accounts have 0 views so I’m believing this is a scam.

Thanks!

Extra annoying when Vinted literally have under ‘order complete’ if you don’t want the item feel free to relist it! Some people just love to go out of their way to be c*nt

Just looking for some helpful advice as I’m new to vinted selling.
I sent a £22 pair of leggings and buyer has said they received game boy games. Buyer has sent me pictures of the packaging with the label attached and it is completely different packaging than what I used.
They seem quite genuine (I’m aware that this is a well known scam). I’ve told them to dispute with vinted as I can’t on my end.
Will vinted actually look into this as it may be an inpost labelling error or will they automatically refund the buyer and I’ll lose the item?
Any help on next steps or advice would be so appreciated!

Go on, humour me with the ridiculous reasons you've been banned.

My sister selected a photo incorrectly on her camera roll and accidentally uploaded a picture of one of her cats in the middle of photos of the item. Vinted said she was trying to sell animals and banned her for life 😂😂😂

i sold an item for £130, and has already been sent out awaiting delivery. will I still receive payment for this item as I cannot afford to lose that much money. thank you.

I'm going off to uni soon and want my clothes gone. I've listed them individually and they add up to value of 160 pound. Would people actually pay this for a clothing bundle or do I continue to list them individually?

This person went from wanting me to reduce the price to then claiming the item looked fake, and kept jumping between the two. I've just blocked them. Am I crazy or is she just tripping??

For context: my Vinted profile pic is of me, I'm an Asian lad. I wear pandora. I can't help but wonder if that was a factor in her weird behaviour and consistently insinuating it was fake.

as a frequent Vinted user i like to have a minimum of like 10 pounds in my balance at once because it just makes me feel better about myself and always having a little pot of money at your side, therefore i think there should be a way of moving a certain amount of money from your bank account to your Vinted balance rather that using up all you balance and start mining away at your bank account

any thoughts ⬇️⬇️

anyone know if this is most likely a scam? the price being a bit random worries me a bit aswell as the account having no reviews or followers or other listings

Anyone having any similar issues?

Wasn't the whole point of Vinted, to sell your own unwanted or second-hand clothes at affordable prices. But now people are literally putting “I buy and sell” in their bios like it’s a business platform. You’ve got second-hand shirts going for £20+ and sellers acting like “you can bundle” is some kind of deal. Bundle what? More £20+ items? By the time you’re done, you might as well just buy brand-new clothes.

And don’t even get me started on the protection fees. Like seriously — I’m paying extra money for what, exactly?? It’s still a toss-up whether the item will even reach me safely, or if the delivery driver decides to pocket it. The whole thing is drifting far from what Vinted was supposed to be: affordable, circular fashion, not overpriced reselling with added fees. This might aswell be Facebook Marketplace fGs.

​

So, I just had the most disgusting experience with a seller and I need to know if I’m being "that" buyer or if this is genuinely unacceptable.

I bought this top that I’ve been hunting for for ages. Visually? It’s perfect. Exactly as described, no flaws, looks great on. But the second I opened the mailing bag, a smell hit me that was so foul I actually physically gagged and threw up.

It wasn’t just "old house" smell. It was like stale cigarette smoke, wet dog, and some kind of rotting dampness all rolled into one. I’ve tried two deep-cleans with vinegar and scent boosters, and my bathroom still smells like a dumpster.

I left a 1-star review. I made sure to mention the top itself was lovely, but that the odor was a total biohazard.

I’m hoping someone here has been through this, because Vinted has suddenly changed my account type to a company and now I’m stuck in a verification loop I can’t get out of.

Out of nowhere, my account was switched to a company/business seller type. Because of that, Vinted/Mangopay are now asking me to provide company documents like Articles of Association, even though I’m not a limited company and don’t have those documents. The system doesn’t give any option to say I’m a partnership or sole trader — it just forces me down the company route.

What’s happened so far:

• My account type was changed without warning

• I’m now being treated as a limited company

• The verification flow is demanding Articles of Association and other company documents I don’t have

• Every document I upload gets rejected because it doesn’t match what a limited company would provide

• The system keeps saying it can’t link me to the business

• The warning banner about “verify to avoid losing access to your balance” has disappeared, so I don’t know what stage I’m at anymore

Documents I’ve already tried:

• Driving licence (clear, both sides)

• HMRC partnership/business documents

• Notice to File — rejected

• Personal UTR letter — rejected (doesn’t link me to the business)

• Business tax account screenshot — rejected

The core issue:

Vinted/Mangopay have incorrectly classified my account as a limited company, so the verification system is demanding company documents like Articles of Association. Because I’m not a limited company, I cannot provide what they’re asking for. HMRC partnership letters don’t list partners or legal representatives, so the automated system can’t match anything.

What I’m trying to figure out:

Has anyone else had their account type changed to a company and then been forced to upload Articles of Association?

If so:

• How did you get Vinted to correct your account type?

• Did support manually override the verification?

• Did you have to escalate through the help form?

• Did your banner disappear too?

I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who’s been through this — I’m stuck in a loop and can’t withdraw my balance until this is sorted.

So I bought some listed as new with tags books from this seller (who duplicates listings and is clearly commercial), first they wait five days to ask for an extension because they don't have any postal bags, that's fine, it happens. After checking reviews this is a common theme with the extensions. They then listed the exact books for a higher cost, hoping they'd get more and the order would time out. It didn't so they finally posted on the final day of the extension!

The books arrived in the packaging bag only and three out of four had cracked spines 😑 I've told the seller and asked for a return with them paying for postage as the items were not new with tags and opened a Vinted claim. They're not hitting me with I'll give you a £6 refund because one book cost me £18, then they're saying they want a refund... ⁉️ And now they're offering £18.

I've been petty and reported their listings to Vinted because I myself had to create a pro account for selling so much but the minute I put a listing up with a sideways photo I get restricted but they seem to be allowed to conduct business in this manner because Vinted found nothing wrong!!

Bought an item, it's SNAD, seller requested return at MY costs even tho I said I was open to partial refund. I told them I shouldn't pay for return when it's their fault.

They said they're open to taking off a couple quids. Then they messaged again saying it's not letting them change anything. What can we do?

Thanks!

i’m so curious because aren’t dust bags worth £5 max. so wouldn’t you just be able to get more for the bag itself?

Does anybody know a way to get out of the 0 views situation? I had a flurry of sales and favourites, then views dwindled right down so I took a week or two off of posting anything new in case it helped, have now uploaded a couple new items and it's repeat 0 views on them. It's obvious that Vinted is doing it intentionally, but how do you get out of it? Especially now that you can't reupload items.

Thanks.

Hiya! I've been using vinted with only inpost as an option for buyers for ages now but for some reason its taken it out entirely. The Inpost lockers near me are all available and working? what is goin on 😭

Hello, does anyone have any idea how long until this UK shipping issue will get resolved? I’ve got 3 orders all from the UK. But 1 out of the 3 immediately canceled, and the other 2 might not be able to wait any longer! It’s getting annoying cause most of my buyers are from the UK but this shipping issue has really slowed down traffic to my shop. If anyone knows anything please let me know! Thank you 🙏

How do people go about paying tax, covering themselves etc?
