đź”— Share this article Vinted Users Voice Displeasure Regarding Size Updates Shoppers are voicing their frustration following a change that caused products showing incorrect sizing. The second-hand shopping app has updated its sizing categories for women's and children's garments without notifying every member regarding the update. Online Platforms Response Numerous buyers and vendors are posting online saying Vinted listings now show a different size category than originally posted as a result of the reclassification. The platform stated the updated approach better aligns with other platforms. It has advised users to examine their items and manually change the size if necessary, resulting in member annoyance. Measurement Approach Changes Earlier, the measurements included one number and one letter, like S/8 or M/10. The revised method features a letter with a size spectrum for example S/UK 8-10. With some products, the measurements have been reclassified - for example a size L was formerly size 12 but currently displays as UK 16-18. User Accounts Frankie Bridger, who creates plus-size fashion videos, said the change "makes both selling and buying harder". "Rarely do manufacturers list XL as sizes 20-22," which is what Vinted now does. Another user, located in Scotland, explained products she uploaded featuring size 14 markings were appearing on the platform as larger sizing 20-22. "Should someone sized 20-22 purchase these they may become frustrated," she stated. Manual Updates Charlotte Lunn, from Derby, stated she felt frustrated due to the update requiring manual adjustment the sizes on "every single listing". "Personally, this is quite irritating, as I'm chronically ill and selling on Vinted has been paramount for me since losing part of my income," she stated. Marketplace Information The app has more than 100 million users, with 18 million British users. It has become a favored option compared to resale services such as eBay and Depop. This is not the initial instance where an unanticipated change within the service has received backlash: previously, the service retracted a modification regarding delivery choices after backlash from users.
