🔗 Share this article Vinted Users Express Anger Regarding Sizing Updates Vinted users have been reacting angrily after an update resulted in listings displaying inaccurate size information. The second-hand shopping app has updated its sizing categories for women's and children's garments failing to inform all users about the change. Social Media Response Countless users and merchants are expressing on platforms saying Vinted listings now show a different size category compared to what was initially listed due to the recalibration. The platform stated the updated approach better aligns with similar services. It has advised users to examine their items and adjust the sizing manually where appropriate, which has left users frustrated. Size Classification Changes Earlier, the measurements included numerical and alphabetical indicators, like S/8 or M/10. The revised method features a letter and a range like S/UK 8-10. With some products, the measurements have been reclassified - like an L measurement was previously a 12 but now shows as UK 16-18. Member Stories A fashion influencer, who makes TikTok content about plus-size fashion, said the change "makes both selling and buying harder". "Rarely do manufacturers list XL as sizes 20-22," the way the service now categorizes. Another user, based in Glasgow, stated items she posted featuring size 14 markings were appearing on the platform as larger sizing 20-22. "If anyone [who is] size 20-22 buys them they will likely be quite upset," she said. Required Changes Another shopper, based in Derby, explained she became annoyed because the modification necessitated personal updates the measurements for "each individual item". "This situation is especially annoying, as I'm chronically ill and platform income has been essential for me since losing part of my income," she stated. Marketplace Information The service features exceeding 100 million shoppers, with 18 million British users. It has become a favored option to second-hand platforms like eBay and Depop. This is not the initial instance where an unanticipated change to the app has proved unpopular: earlier, the service retracted a modification concerning shipment methods after backlash from users.
