Vinted Members Express Anger Regarding Size Modifications
Vinted users have been reacting angrily after an update resulted in listings displaying inaccurate size information.
The second-hand shopping app has updated its size classifications for women's and children's clothes failing to inform all users about the change.
Social Media Response
Many shoppers and sellers are posting online stating that platform listings now display a modified sizing category compared to what was initially listed because of the remapping.
The company said the new system was more in line with other platforms.
The platform has recommended to check their listings and adjust the sizing manually where appropriate, which has left users frustrated.
Sizing System Changes
Before the change, the sizing featured numerical and alphabetical indicators, like S/8 or M/10.
The new system has a letter and a range like S/UK 8-10.
For certain items, the measurements have been reclassified - such as a large size was formerly size 12 but currently displays as UK 16-18.
User Experiences
Frankie Bridger, who creates plus-size fashion videos, said the change "makes both selling and buying harder".
"Rarely do manufacturers list XL as sizes 20-22," as the platform currently indicates.
Stephanie Gallen, located in Scotland, explained products she uploaded on Vinted with size 14 labels were appearing on the platform as size 20–22.
"If anyone [who is] size 20-22 buys them they will likely be quite upset," she stated.
Necessary Adjustments
Another shopper, based in Derby, explained she became annoyed due to the update requiring manual adjustment the sizing for "all her products".
"This situation is especially annoying, because of my ongoing medical condition and Vinted sales have been crucial for me since losing part of my income," she explained.
Platform Context
The platform boasts over 100 million members, comprising 18 million UK members.
It has emerged as a preferred choice to second-hand platforms like eBay and Depop.
This represents another occasion where an unanticipated change within the service has received backlash: earlier, Vinted reversed a change regarding delivery choices after backlash from users.
