🔗 Share this article Vinted Shoppers Share Frustration Over Size Modifications Vinted users have been reacting angrily after an update resulted in items being listed as the wrong size. The popular resale platform has updated its size classifications for women's and children's garments without notifying all shoppers about the modification. Digital Channels Response Countless users and merchants are posting online stating that platform listings now display a modified sizing category compared to what was initially listed due to the recalibration. The company said the revised method more closely matches comparable marketplaces. They have suggested members to check their listings and update the measurements by hand when needed, which has left users frustrated. Size Classification Changes Earlier, the measurements included numerical and alphabetical indicators, such as S/8 or M/10. The updated approach includes a letter and a range for example S/UK 8-10. For certain items, the sizing has been recategorised - such as a large size was formerly size 12 but currently displays as UK 16-18. User Experiences One content creator, who makes TikTok content about plus-size fashion, stated the update "complicates both purchasing and selling". "Not many brands say XL is a 20-22," which is what Vinted now does. Another user, from Glasgow, explained products she uploaded featuring size 14 markings were appearing on the platform as measurements 20-22. "Should someone sized 20-22 purchase these they will likely be quite upset," she explained. Manual Updates Another shopper, from Derby, stated she felt frustrated by the change as she had to manually change the sizing for "all her products". "For me this is particularly frustrating, since I have chronic health issues and platform income has been essential after experiencing income reduction," she said. Marketplace Information The service features exceeding 100 million members, including 18 million in the UK. It has become a favored option compared to resale services such as eBay and Depop. This isn't the first time that an unexpected update within the service has received backlash: last year, the service retracted a modification concerning shipment methods due to shopper criticism.
