Vinted

[Lily]

They don't fit her. That's why she's trying it on. Vinted, unlike eBay, don't automatically side with the buyer - fingers crossed for you. I bet she doesn't bother returning them.

I've had a parcel disappear thanks to Yodel, but both I and the buyer got refunds very quickly.

Stuff like this really pisses me off! I have bought and sold loads on Vinted but only once had a bad experience with a buyer when a wool knitted dress I sold her got negative feedback. I didn't sell it as new, added very clear photos of the condition it was in and she only paid €5. Still she claimed the pilling on it made it unwearable. She didn't want to return it though.

I know, what do they expect! I'm always honest in text and photos. Anyway, I gave her a refund because I like the shoes and will keep them myself. They categorically do not smell remotely of smoke though.

[Lily]

Did you get the shoes back?

You can leave her feedback politely pointing out she's a scammer.

[Disco]

Yeah, shoes back - she bought the postage - smelling of leather.

I can.

[Disco]

Then I'm blocking the cowbag.

[Lily]

Do it. I really regret losing my opportunity to leave feedback for my have-a-go-scammer.

I put some stuff on this afternoon, and 45 minutes later one item is sold already.

[Disco]

Woohoo!

I put an empty diptyque candle glass on yesterday and sold it for a tenner.

[Luna]

Eh? Is this a thing? :lol:

[emma_p]

That’s crazy!

[Margo]

Woohoo!

I put an empty diptyque candle glass on yesterday and sold it for a tenner.

I saw one for sale in an antique centre today and thought wtf?

I’ve really got to sell stuff in anticipation of moving!

[Disco]

I know, it's nuts! It's the second one I've sold. The other one was bought for £6. I include the box. :))

[Luna]

Do people put a shit Lidl candle in it and pretend it’s the real thing?

[Pippedydeadeye]

People use them to store make up brushes etc. but I bet you can also refill them with other candles if you wanted. It’s all about the aesthetic.

I might walk round and drop off my parcel now. I’ve been pretty ruthless with stuff and have been steaming things while photographing.

[Pippedydeadeye]

Flipping heck, it’s all go. I’ve sold another two already, one while walking home from dropping the first off.

[Disco]

Oh that's brilliant!

[Lily]

I haven't sold anything for a while but I am trying to find a dress for a very very posh wedding and was bemoaning the fact I was too big for my favourite EVER dress. Just found it on Vinted in the next size up for a tenner. Fingers crossed it fits.

[Luna]

How fab! I have fingers crossed for you.

[Pippedydeadeye]

What are our views on accepting offers for things? I have a skirt on at £4 and yesterday someone offered £2.40 & I declined with a counter offer of £3. Today someone has offered £5 on a dress I’d priced at £7. I’m more likely to accept that one I think.

Depends if you want rid quickly or want the full value.
