🔗 Share this article Vinted Shoppers Express Frustration Over Sizing Changes Vinted users have been reacting angrily due to a modification that led to items being listed as the wrong size. This online marketplace has altered its size classifications for women's and children's garments but did not contact all shoppers about the modification. Social Media Response Numerous buyers and vendors are posting online stating that platform listings now display a different size category compared to what was initially listed due to the recalibration. The platform stated the revised method more closely matches comparable marketplaces. It has advised users to check their listings and manually change the size where appropriate, which has left users frustrated. Size Classification Changes Previously, the sizes had both numerical and alphabetical indicators, like S/8 or M/10. The updated approach includes an alphabetical indicator and numerical range like S/UK 8-10. With some products, the sizing has been recategorised - for example a size L used to be a 12 but is now a UK 16-18. Shopper Stories Frankie Bridger, who creates plus-size fashion videos, said the change "makes both selling and buying harder". "Not many brands say XL is a 20-22," the way the service now categorizes. A different member, from Glasgow, stated items she posted with size 14 tags were showing in the marketplace as measurements 20-22. "If anyone [who is] size 20-22 buys them they will likely be quite upset," she stated. Required Changes A different user, located in England, stated she felt frustrated by the change as she had to manually change the measurements for "each individual item". "This situation is especially annoying, since I have chronic health issues and Vinted sales have been crucial after experiencing income reduction," she stated. Platform Context The platform boasts over 100 million members, comprising 18 million UK members. It has become a favored option to second-hand platforms like eBay and Depop. This isn't the first time where an unanticipated change on the platform has faced criticism: earlier, the platform withdrew an update to its shipping options following member complaints.
