🔗 Share this article Vinted Members Express Frustration About Size Changes Vinted users have been reacting angrily following a change that caused items being listed as the wrong size. This online marketplace has revised its measurement guidelines for women's and children's clothes failing to inform every member regarding the update. Online Platforms Backlash Many shoppers and sellers are posting online claiming that product pages now present a different size category versus the original listing as a result of the reclassification. The platform stated the revised method more closely matches similar services. The platform has recommended to review their products and adjust the sizing manually when needed, resulting in member annoyance. Sizing System Changes Earlier, the sizing featured numerical and alphabetical indicators, for instance S/8 or M/10. The updated approach includes a letter and a range for example S/UK 8-10. In some cases, the measurements have been reclassified - such as a large size used to be a 12 but now shows as UK 16-18. User Accounts One content creator, who creates plus-size fashion videos, stated the update "complicates both purchasing and selling". "Few clothing companies classify XL as 20-22," as the platform currently indicates. Another user, located in Scotland, explained products she uploaded featuring size 14 markings were appearing on the platform as size 20–22. "Should someone sized 20-22 purchase these they may become frustrated," she stated. Required Changes Another shopper, located in England, explained she became annoyed because the modification necessitated personal updates the sizing for "all her products". "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 said. Platform Context The service features exceeding 100 million shoppers, including 18 million in the UK. It has emerged as a preferred choice compared to resale services such as eBay and Depop. This isn't the first time where an unanticipated change to the app has proved unpopular: earlier, the service retracted a modification regarding delivery choices after backlash from users.
