🔗 Share this article Vinted Shoppers Voice Anger Regarding Sizing Modifications Vinted users have been reacting angrily following a change that caused products showing incorrect sizing. This online marketplace has altered its measurement guidelines for female and kids' apparel but did not contact every member regarding the update. Social Media Reaction Countless users and merchants are expressing on platforms stating that platform listings now display a modified sizing category versus the original listing because of the remapping. Vinted explained the updated approach better aligns with other platforms. It has advised users to review their products and adjust the sizing manually when needed, resulting in member annoyance. Measurement Approach Updates Previously, the sizes had both numerical and alphabetical indicators, for instance S/8 or M/10. The updated approach includes a letter with a size spectrum such as S/UK 8-10. With some products, the measurements have been reclassified - such as a large size was previously a 12 but is now a UK 16-18. Member Accounts Frankie Bridger, who produces content about larger sizing, stated the update "complicates both purchasing and selling". "Few clothing companies classify XL as 20-22," the way the service now categorizes. Another user, located in Scotland, said garments she listed featuring size 14 markings 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 explained. Required Changes A different user, located in England, explained she became annoyed due to the update requiring manual adjustment the sizing for "all her products". "Personally, this is quite irritating, because of my ongoing medical condition and selling on Vinted has been paramount following partial earnings loss," she stated. Marketplace Information The app has more than 100 million shoppers, with 18 million British users. It has become a favored option to second-hand platforms like eBay and Depop. This is not the initial instance that an unexpected update on the platform has faced criticism: last year, the platform withdrew an update regarding delivery choices due to shopper criticism.
