Vinted Shoppers Voice Anger About Size Changes
Vinted users have been reacting angrily due to a modification that led to listings displaying inaccurate size information.
This online marketplace has updated its size classifications for women's and children's garments but did not contact all shoppers about the modification.
Digital Channels Reaction
Numerous buyers and vendors are posting online saying Vinted listings now show an altered size classification versus the original listing due to the recalibration.
Vinted explained the revised method more closely matches similar services.
They have suggested members to examine their items and manually change the size where appropriate, causing user dissatisfaction.
Measurement Approach Updates
Earlier, the sizes had both a single numeric size and a letter, for instance S/8 or M/10.
The revised method features a letter and a range like S/UK 8-10.
For certain items, the size labels have been reassigned - like an L measurement was formerly size 12 but currently displays as UK 16-18.
Member Stories
Frankie Bridger, who makes TikTok content about plus-size fashion, explained the modification "makes transactions more difficult".
"Rarely do manufacturers list XL as sizes 20-22," as the platform currently indicates.
A different member, from Glasgow, said garments she listed on Vinted with size 14 labels were displaying on the service as larger sizing 20-22.
"Should someone sized 20-22 purchase these they may become frustrated," she stated.
Required Changes
Another shopper, based in Derby, stated she felt frustrated by the change as she had to manually change the sizes on "every single listing".
"This situation is especially annoying, since I have chronic health issues and platform income has been essential after experiencing income reduction," she stated.
Marketplace Information
The app has more than 100 million users, including 18 million in the UK.
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 on the platform has faced criticism: last year, Vinted reversed a change concerning shipment methods due to shopper criticism.
