No longer a second-hand/reuse/sustainable platform
Been on Vinted for many years. Like any good thing, as they grow, the negative comes with it. Poor customer service, terrible sizing, and prices of items are shocking, with extra costs for buyers, way too much. It is no longer a platform that cares for reuse and the environment, but a wannabe Vintage with overpriced items. There is as much new stuff as second-hand; it should be only second-hand. Photos are fake, from websites like Temu and Shein (and others), and there is literally overpriced, cheap stuff bought there and sold for more. There are businesses on Vinted, and they do not care about them. People buy a shirt on sale for £2 and sell it for £4, or buy a thing for £20, wear it a bit, and want to sell it for £18. Finding good items becomes hours of scrolling, filters barely make a difference, and it is not worth it. I will try to get rid of what I have in 2 months; if not, it goes to charity, and I will close my account.
