AVOID Vinted – NO PROTECTION & TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE Having previously purchased vintage items from Ebay, I thought that I would give Vinted a try. What a HUGE MISTAKE I made. Purchased 2 shirts from one seller and also paid for Vinted's obligatory “Buyer Protection” The shirts were delivered – but not to my address !!! Checked out the "proof of delivery” online, only to find that my items had been delivered to someone with a WHITE doorway, that was not mine, whilst my doorway is BROWN. Contacted the seller, who did not want to know and became quite aggressive, basically leaving me to try and sort it out for myself. So I contacted Vinted “customer service” who then required me to message them with a long long list of particulars that must already have been easy to find on their system. Additionally, I provided the so called “proof of delivery” photo to the WHITE doorway that was not mine, together with photos of my house and BROWN doorway. The photos could not have been clearer – items delivered to a WHITE door – not my door – my door BROWN. Following my submission of this information, I received a string of messages from Vinted asking me to provide further proof that I did not receive the items. The next thing Vinted “customer service” do is to email me a form that needs PRINTING off and sending back to them, but I have NO WORKING PRINTER. Vinted “helpfully” inform me of the following:- “Please note that members who don't have printers at home usually print the label at their university or office. Otherwise, they visit their local library to print. You can always check out your local office supply store. They often offer printing services too.” However, I am over 70 and in poor physical health – one reason I buy online and have items delivered to me. The latest “customer service” suggestion is that I now do not need to do any of the above things at all – so why ask me in the first place? Instead, now Vinted want me to take an email attachment and run it through not one, but two separate items of third party software, that they have provided links to, so that I can then be in a position to send this form back to them. Regarding the additional software, Vinted expect me to work with, I have never heard of these companies before and would not dream of risking a virus infecting my computer. In conclusion - Vinted's “customer service” primary role is to frustrate you from making any sort of legitimate claim on their “Buyer Protection” that you have purchased from them. Check out other reviews about Vinted – It is all too clear. Life is far too short to deal with these sorts of companies, so as regards Vinted – AVOID AVOID AVOID – You have been warned.

I am only giving one star as zero isn't an option. Avoid at all costs buyer protection is a joke. I'm trying to resolve an item I purchased that has never arrived but as vinted have conveniently blocked my account it's almost impossible. My advice is stay away and never use I wish I had.

I HATE VINTED. As a seller who got 55 x 100% 5 star reviews after selling for 2 weeks I got scammed by a loop hole in their system. The buyer took a photo of the mailing bag and a photo of some random Tshirt in her possesion. I sold a pair of high end sneakers. Then I tried to defend that I send the shoes and they refunded her leaving me without the shoes or the money. I HAVE BEEN ROBBED ON VINTED. Just wait until more people use this loophole to scam sellers they WILL LOSE THEIR SELLERS!!!!

Another scam website that doesn’t protect the sellers! I sent an item to the customer, carefully packaged in a padded envelope with extra tape to secure it shut. The recipient claimed that the envelope arrived open and the contents were missing, Vinted blamed me for this issue and refunded the customer. The courier label is purchased by the customer, this label will be covered by insurance. Why aren’t Vinted claiming against the courier to cover the costs? This is assuming that the customer is not a scammer who falsely claimed that the envelope was empty to get a refund.

THIS SITE IS A COMPLETE CON AND CUSTOMER SERVICE RUBBISH AS WELL, THERE IS NO INSTANT FACILITIES LIKE LIVE CHAT SERVICE OR CALLING THROUGH TELEPHONE, THERE IS NO PHONE NUMBER. I HAD A VINTED ACCOUNT LONG AGO, I CANT EVEN REMEMBER WHEN I CREATED ACCOUNT WITH VINTED, LAST NIGHT I TRIED JOIN VINTED AS I FORGOT WHETHER I HAVE ACCOUNT WITH VINTED OR NOT BUT I DISCOVERED I ALREADY HAVE VINTED ACCOUNT. THEN I LOGGED IN VINTED WITH MY ACCOUNT. MY WIFE WAS SITTING NEXT TO ME WHILE I WAS LOGGING IN VINTED ACCOUNT. SHE GOT CURIOUS AND SHE ALSO OPENED AN VINTED ACCOUNT ON HER NAME IN HER PHONE. I WAS LOOKING SOME WAISTCOATS IN VINTED, SHE FOUND SOME NICE WAISTCOATS IN HER PHONE AND ORDERED FOR ME. NEXT DAY VINTED RESTRICTED OUR ACCOUNTS SAYING MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS ARE NOT ALLOWED. WHAT A JOKE🤣😂😂😂😂. WE ALREADY PAID FOR ITEMS WE PURCHASED, NOW THEY BLOCKED OUR ACCOUNTS, WHAT DOES IT INDICATE? ITS A COMPLETE SCAM, SO BEWARE BUYERS BEFORE PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM VINTED. I TRIED TO FIND CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER BUT THEY DONT HAVE ANY PHONE NUMBER BECAUSE THEY DONT WANT PEOPLE CAN FIND THEM. I KNOW HOW TO RECOVER MY MONEY FROM THEM, SO I AM NOT WORRIED FOR MY MONEY. WILL NEVER RECOMMEND ANYBODY FOR VINTED

I was sold a pair of fake Oliver Peoples sunglasses via Vinted. The Customer Service is horrendous and totally based on chat messages. After receipt I sent pictures to Vinted at their request that clearly identified the product as fake. They came back and told me to return the item to the seller, which I did. I packed the item at the shipper's store ton have a witness of the contents and condition of the package. Tracking information confirms that the seller picked up the package at the destination. Then the seller claimed that the package was received damaged and empty. Now Vinted says it's incumbent on me to prove that this isn't true. All of this via text messages....Never Again!

An absolute disgrace of a company!! Should be avoided at all costs. Their so called ‘customer service’ is a AI chat bot who makes errors and when you contact an account email they are no better and just close the ticket!!! I sold a brand new pair of Yves Saint Laurent Sandals on Vinted worth £720 for £350. Biggest regret of my life! The buyer said that she didn’t realise they were the black and silver so asked to return and told Vinted they were ‘not as described’. I disagree as both the description and the pictures were evidently thorough, however, this is least of my concerns. Vinted so called ‘support’ then emailed me to say the buyer disputed the purchase as ‘not as described’. They said the two options are: 1. Reach out to them if you disagree with the buyer and respond via the contact us option (which I did) 2. Release refund and item return I selected option 1 and reached out to Vinted to explain my side of the dispute and attach evidence. Then, I got a notification from them to say as I failed to respond they have released a refund to the buyer and also told the buyer they could keep the shoes!! In what world would a buyer get to keep the £350 for a designed pair of shoes and the shoes themselves??? I then contacted the unhelpful ‘support team’ about their mistake and they said it was final decision. Failing to get anywhere with them I searched high and low for a contact number where you could speak to someone and guess what… nothing. I found the above mentioned Legal email and sent the full detail to them to which their response was they are following process and cannot support. I asked for a complaints procedure and they directed me to their app with nothing on it. I asked them to investigate and answer my question and they didn’t respond. Absolute joke of a business and how they can treat customers like this is concerning. I am now at a loss as a seller without either the shoes or the money for them, which equates to more than I have made on Vinted in all my time selling on there!

What a shower of utter shite You don’t actually realise how bad this company is until something goes wrong. I ordered an item that failed to turn up (not the sellers fault). When I asked Vinted to look into this they said as far as they were concerned it was delivered although I showed them that the picture supplied was clearly not my address (photos provided). Vinted didn’t want to know. When asked if I could make a claim on the insurance premium I paid I heard absolutely nothing.

This is a terrible company. They have taken the credit money I had made selling my clothes and no way of getting it back or communicating with a human. Do not use this website.

I have been with Vinted for nearly two years and I am disgusted in the way they have handled my situation by not helping me with my issue! They are a disgrace and I do not recommend anyone to use them

Absolutely avoid buying on vinted. I was satisfied until something finally goes wrong I received an intem damaged while it was marked as new. The customer service is slow inefficient and you have to cover the return expense even if you are the one who is being scammed. You also have to overproof everything. And the cherry on the cake is that THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY WHERE YOU PAY BUYER PROTECTION.

Poor customer resolution when package was delivered when I was out. Raised a case, signed the disclaimer, a few days later advised my claim had been declined and the money realeased to seller, who had not done anything wrong, my claim was against Yodel. Few days after signing the disclaimer I was informed as Yodel said the package had been delivered they sided with them and I would not get a refund. I completed all due diligence checking all out of site places where the package could have been left ( yodel did not put a card through my door) which I now suspect the package could have been left on my doorstep. And checked all my neighbours who were not asked to take the package n my behalf. Customer service ( if I can even associate them as offering a service) sided with Yodel purely on my packe as been ticked off as delivered as he is probably targeted on percentage of packages been classed as delivered. So I am out of pocket and no trainers to show for it. The mandatory buyers protection fee they charge is useless in cases like this. I emailed The founder Justas Januskas on the 11th July, still no response from them. They might as well forget about offering post sale customer service as they are so black and white, and leaving goods outside properties in full view of passing public is a safe delivery method personally I would say my package had been dropped off not delivered into my possession. I doubt very much any senior manager/ owner would even bother to respond to this feedback, as they are in their counting houses counting all mandatory charges they enforce buyers and sellers which are useless when things go wrong.

If I could give less I really would . Customer services make you jump through hoops for a refund. The form they ask you to fill in is sketchy on a mobile device and even though you have buyer protection it is so difficult compared to other platforms . I would avoid at all costs

I have been robbed by Vinted. It has been the perfect scam. Customer service does not exist at all. It is practically impossible to get help. They do nothing to help you. I bought a pair of shoes that never arrived, and the app says they were received. Apparently the postal service lost the shoes, and Vinted, knowing this, decided to confirm that the shoes had been received. The tracking of the package still apppears on transit but Vinted would not do anything about it. They are not interested in helping their clients. Shame on them!!! I lost my money. Almost 200€.

Vinted deleted my account and took my money. After 6 emails, there has been no contact from them to help me reinstate it. This happened because there was an issue with my account and the instructions that THEY gave me deleted everything. Now its like I don't exist. No one answers emails, no one responds, there is no one...awful awful people!

Use at your peril. While the interface is great to use, the issue is the customer service. It is absolutely appalling. They will not help you with any scenario. The only response they have is 'get in touch with the seller to see if you can come to an agreement'. Yet, the buyer pays for insurance. I have just had a parcel go missing, after it was stolen from my porch. I contacted customer services and was told there was nothing they could do. I have never been in this situation before and rather than honouring their insurance agreement with me I was told to contact the seller. As if the seller is responsible for my item going missing? eBay does not charge this insurance fee, and the few times in 20+ years that I've had an issue with eBay, it has been resolved amicably and very speedily. I am really not happy with how they treat their customers. If you do decide to use them I would urge you NOT to have parcels delivered to your home as you will NOT be secured by their insurance policy, whatever they claim. Also, unfortunately there is very little support for you in the case of a faulty item, as I also found out on another occasion that I contacted their appalling customer services department to get a resolution. A money grabbing and self-serving institution.

Twice I from a seller and instead of the 2 items I ordered they only sent 1. Then “buyer protection didn’t apply and vinted took ages to reply to me. I will never use this app again because sellers will scan you to make a quick penny and Vinted simply do not care. All of the support responses are robotic and copy and pasted.

Buyer protection is a joke. Really bad customer service. Seller sent make up in a flimsy parcel& 2 were broke. I asked for a part refund so it was fair & she said return at MY cist. Unfortunately when you reach out to Customer service they don't care. Should be regulated better & if an item isn't as described you get a partial refund instead of messing with returns & taking the risk. Awful site

6 weeks ago the buyer didn't pick up the parcel. Vinted kept advising to wait as it was being returned. Took 6 weeks and vinted not interested. Now a buyer has had parcel stolen. I've raised issue as doesn't show delivered on vinted but does on yodel. Vinted now saying wait 25 days as status shows awaiting delivery. They're just not interested yet we all pay extra insurance on all items.
