Vinted

[isambard]

If anyone's interested in how this turned out, Vinted have made a gesture of refunding me the cost of the top (27 EUR), and it looks like they're refunded the buyer, too. Such a shame the item was lost as it was a really pretty Sandro top.

I've just been contacted by someone who's interested in meeting up for a sale in person. When I've done this before, the buyer has always paid in cash. This buyer (who has loads of good reviews- 444 to be exact) has asked if I can give her my bank details so she can do an instant bank transfer when we meet. Has anyone had experience of this?

I do it a lot on FB marketplace. You just make sure the £ is in your account before handing over the item.

Thank you Lily!

I listed several items yesterday and have had messages from 3 separate German accounts saying they want to buy an item. Not buying it, and not asking for a price reduction. I stereotypically expect Germans to say what they mean, and I don't know what the messages are for :lol:

I also got a message from someone asking if the long coat I'm selling, including the length in the description, will arrive at her ankles...

[Luna]

Depends how long her legs are!

[ParisGal]

I replied restating the length, and she said she doesn't have a tape measure and told me her height :ella:

[Disco]

I'd block her.

[ParisGal]

And now "Any particular defects"?

It's at 8€, btw, not 80.

[Luna]

She sounds an absolute pain.

[Disco]

That is why I have zero tolerance and they get blocked at the first stupid question.

[ParisGal]

Ha, someone else has bought it without a single question or haggle.

[Kenickie]

I love it when that happens.

[isambard]

Clap clap clap PG, well done!

I had something like that this week - one person sent me a million questions about a really cheap item and I was dreading answering them when someone else bought it. Such relief!

I bought some sports pants for J1 and was really looking forward to surprising him with them. However, when I opened the package it had pleated trousers inside! Grrr, had to go through the hassle of sending them back and waiting till the other buyer returns my item...

[ParisGal]

On the other hand, the German who said they were interested in buying a belt, then how long it was (obviously in the listing), then asked me if they could buy now, did end up buying.

A question... A seller has asked me how she can bundle up some of my purchases to save on postage.

I thought I had that option on as I have bundle discounts ticked but set to zero.

Am i missing some other setting?

[ParisGal]

I've always had to manually adjust postage, and as a buyer I think I create a bundle then wait for the adjustment.

[Kenickie]

I thought all bundles were automatic now? I just get notifications that x has bought a bundle.

Similar to PG, I had someone who favourited and I sent her a discount. She wanted me to do loads of measurements, loads of questions, then she wanted me to reserve it. I asked how long for and she said until her money on a sale came through 'shouldn't be more than a few days'. So I said no, and someone else just bought at full price.

[ParisGal]

Ha!

Yes, to actually answer your specific point, I don't think there's any settings for bundle postage, only for discount on the items.
