🔗 Share this article Vinted Shoppers Express Displeasure About Sizing Modifications Vinted users have been reacting angrily following a change that caused items being listed as the wrong size. The popular resale platform has altered its sizing categories for women's and children's clothes failing to inform every member regarding the update. Online Platforms Response Numerous buyers and vendors are posting online stating that platform listings now display an altered size classification than originally posted as a result of the reclassification. The company said the updated approach better aligns with comparable marketplaces. They have suggested members to check their listings and update the measurements by hand where appropriate, causing user dissatisfaction. Size Classification Modifications Earlier, the measurements included a single numeric size and a letter, such as S/8 or M/10. The updated approach includes a letter and a range such as S/UK 8-10. In some cases, the size labels have been reassigned - like an L measurement was previously a 12 but now shows as UK 16-18. User Accounts A fashion influencer, who makes TikTok content about plus-size fashion, said the change "makes both selling and buying harder". "Few clothing companies classify XL as 20-22," which is what Vinted now does. Another user, based in 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're going to be very disappointed," she stated. Manual Updates Charlotte Lunn, from Derby, said she had been left angered 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 platform income has been essential for me since losing part of my income," she stated. Service Background The app has more than 100 million users, including 18 million in the UK. It has become a favored option compared to resale services such as eBay and Depop. This represents another occasion when a surprising modification on the platform has faced criticism: previously, the platform withdrew an update to its shipping options following member complaints.
