🔗 Share this article Vinted Users Share Displeasure Over Sizing Modifications Shoppers are voicing their frustration after an update resulted in listings displaying inaccurate size information. This online marketplace has revised its size classifications for women's and children's clothes failing to inform all users about the change. Digital Channels Backlash Numerous buyers and vendors are posting online saying Vinted listings now show a modified sizing category compared to what was initially listed due to the recalibration. The platform stated the updated approach better aligns with other platforms. They have suggested members to check their listings and adjust the sizing manually where appropriate, which has left users frustrated. Measurement Approach Modifications Earlier, the sizes had both a single numeric size and a letter, such as S/8 or M/10. The updated approach includes an alphabetical indicator and numerical range for example S/UK 8-10. With some products, the size labels have been reassigned - like an L measurement was previously a 12 but currently displays as UK 16-18. Shopper Stories Frankie Bridger, who produces content about larger sizing, stated the update "complicates both purchasing and selling". "Rarely do manufacturers list XL as sizes 20-22," the way the service now categorizes. A different member, based in Glasgow, stated items she posted featuring size 14 markings were showing in the marketplace as larger sizing 20-22. "If buyers measuring 20-22 acquire them they will likely be quite upset," she explained. Manual Updates Another shopper, located in England, explained she became annoyed because the modification necessitated personal updates the sizes on "every single listing". "For me this is particularly frustrating, as I'm chronically ill and Vinted sales have been crucial for me since losing part of my income," she stated. Marketplace Information The service features exceeding 100 million users, comprising 18 million UK members. It has become a favored option to second-hand platforms like eBay and Depop. This is not the initial instance when a surprising modification within the service has received backlash: earlier, Vinted reversed a change concerning shipment methods due to shopper criticism.
