🔗 Share this article The second-hand marketplace Members Express Anger About Sizing Modifications Members of the platform have expressed outrage following a change that caused items being listed as the wrong size. This online marketplace has updated its measurement guidelines for female and kids' apparel without notifying every member regarding the update. Social Media Response Numerous buyers and vendors are expressing on platforms stating that platform listings now display an altered size classification than originally posted because of the remapping. The platform stated the new system was more in line with other platforms. They have suggested members to check their listings and manually change the size if necessary, which has left users frustrated. Measurement Approach Modifications Earlier, 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. In some cases, the measurements have been reclassified - such as a large size was formerly size 12 but is now a UK 16-18. Shopper Stories One content creator, who produces content about larger sizing, explained the modification "makes transactions more difficult". "Rarely do manufacturers list XL as sizes 20-22," which is what Vinted now does. A different member, from Glasgow, 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. Manual Updates Charlotte Lunn, located in England, said she had been left angered because the modification necessitated personal updates the sizes on "every single listing". "Personally, this is quite irritating, as I'm chronically ill and Vinted sales have been crucial after experiencing income reduction," she explained. Service Background The platform boasts over 100 million users, with 18 million British users. It has emerged as a preferred choice to second-hand platforms like eBay and Depop. This is not the initial instance when a surprising modification to the app has proved unpopular: previously, the service retracted a modification to its shipping options after backlash from users.
