🔗 Share this article The second-hand marketplace Members Share Displeasure Over Sizing Changes Members of the platform have expressed outrage due to a modification that led to products showing incorrect sizing. The second-hand shopping app has revised its sizing categories for women's and children's garments but did not contact all users about the change. Online Platforms Response Numerous buyers and vendors 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 company said the updated approach better aligns with other platforms. They have suggested members to check their listings and adjust the sizing manually where appropriate, causing user dissatisfaction. Measurement Approach Modifications Earlier, the sizing featured numerical and alphabetical indicators, like S/8 or M/10. The revised method features a letter with a size spectrum such as S/UK 8-10. With some products, the sizing has been recategorised - such as a large size was formerly size 12 but now shows as UK 16-18. User Stories One content creator, who creates plus-size fashion videos, said the change "makes both selling and buying harder". "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 appearing on the platform as measurements 20-22. "Should someone sized 20-22 purchase these they may become frustrated," she stated. Required Changes A different user, based in Derby, stated she felt frustrated because the modification necessitated personal updates the measurements for "each individual item". "This situation is especially annoying, because of my ongoing medical condition and selling on Vinted has been paramount following partial earnings loss," she stated. Service Background The platform boasts over 100 million shoppers, with 18 million British users. It has become a favored option versus similar marketplaces including eBay and Depop. This is not the initial instance when a surprising modification on the platform has faced criticism: previously, Vinted reversed a change concerning shipment methods following member complaints.
