š Share this article Vinted Shoppers Voice 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 revised its size classifications for women's and children's garments without notifying every member regarding the update. Online Platforms Backlash Many shoppers and sellers are expressing on platforms stating that platform listings now display a different size category versus the original listing as a result of the reclassification. The platform stated the revised method more closely matches other platforms. They have suggested members to check their listings and manually change the size when needed, which has left users frustrated. Measurement Approach Changes Previously, the measurements included a single numeric size and a letter, like S/8 or M/10. The updated approach includes a letter with a size spectrum such as S/UK 8-10. For certain items, the sizing has been recategorised - such as a large size was previously a 12 but now shows as UK 16-18. Member Stories A fashion influencer, who creates plus-size fashion videos, stated the update "complicates both purchasing and selling". "Few clothing companies classify XL as 20-22," as the platform currently indicates. Stephanie Gallen, from Glasgow, stated items she posted featuring size 14 markings were showing in the marketplace as larger sizing 20-22. "If buyers measuring 20-22 acquire them they may become frustrated," she said. Manual Updates Another shopper, based in Derby, said she had been left angered because the modification necessitated personal updates the measurements for "each individual item". "For me this is particularly frustrating, since I have chronic health issues and platform income has been essential for me since losing part of my income," she stated. Marketplace Information The platform boasts over 100 million users, with 18 million British users. It has emerged as a preferred choice versus similar marketplaces including eBay and Depop. This isn't the first time where an unanticipated change to the app has proved unpopular: last year, the platform withdrew an update regarding delivery choices due to shopper criticism.
