🔗 Share this article The second-hand marketplace Members Express Frustration Regarding Sizing Modifications Vinted users have been reacting angrily after an update resulted in listings displaying inaccurate size information. The second-hand shopping app has altered its size classifications for female and kids' apparel without notifying all shoppers about the modification. Online Platforms Backlash Countless users and merchants are posting online stating that platform listings now display an altered size classification compared to what was initially listed because of the remapping. The company said the updated approach better aligns with similar services. It has advised users to review their products and adjust the sizing manually where appropriate, which has left users frustrated. Sizing System Changes Before the change, the sizes had both one number and one letter, such as S/8 or M/10. The revised method features an alphabetical indicator and numerical range like 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. Shopper Stories Frankie Bridger, who produces content about larger sizing, stated the update "complicates both purchasing and selling". "Not many brands say XL is a 20-22," as the platform currently indicates. Another user, located in Scotland, explained products she uploaded on Vinted with size 14 labels were showing in the marketplace as size 20–22. "Should someone sized 20-22 purchase these they will likely be quite upset," she stated. Manual Updates Charlotte Lunn, based in Derby, said she had been left angered because the modification necessitated personal updates the measurements for "each individual item". "This situation is especially annoying, since I have chronic health issues and platform income has been essential after experiencing income reduction," she explained. Service Background The service features exceeding 100 million members, including 18 million in the UK. It has become a favored option compared to resale services such as eBay and Depop. This is not the initial instance that an unexpected update within the service has received backlash: last year, Vinted reversed a change concerning shipment methods due to shopper criticism.
