🔗 Share this article The second-hand marketplace Shoppers Express Frustration Over Sizing Modifications Vinted users have been reacting angrily after an update resulted in items being listed as the wrong size. The popular resale platform has revised its sizing categories for women's and children's clothes without notifying all users about the change. Social Media Backlash Numerous buyers and vendors are expressing on platforms claiming that product pages now present a modified sizing category versus the original listing because of the remapping. The platform stated the revised method more closely matches other platforms. It has advised users to review their products and manually change the size if necessary, causing user dissatisfaction. Measurement Approach Changes Earlier, the sizes had both a single numeric size and a letter, such as S/8 or M/10. The new system has a letter and a range like S/UK 8-10. In some cases, the size labels have been reassigned - for example a size L was formerly size 12 but is now a UK 16-18. Member Experiences Frankie Bridger, who creates plus-size fashion videos, explained the modification "makes transactions more difficult". "Not many brands say XL is a 20-22," the way the service now categorizes. A different member, from Glasgow, stated items she posted with size 14 tags were appearing on the platform as larger sizing 20-22. "Should someone sized 20-22 purchase these they will likely be quite upset," she explained. Necessary Adjustments A different user, located in England, said she had been left angered due to the update requiring manual adjustment the sizes on "every single listing". "This situation is especially annoying, as I'm chronically ill and selling on Vinted has been paramount for me since losing part of my income," she explained. Marketplace Information The platform boasts over 100 million shoppers, with 18 million British users. It has emerged as a preferred choice to second-hand platforms like eBay and Depop. This represents another occasion where an unanticipated change to the app has proved unpopular: previously, the service retracted a modification concerning shipment methods after backlash from users.
