đź”— Share this article Vinted Shoppers Voice Anger About Size Updates Members of the platform have expressed outrage due to a modification that led to products showing incorrect sizing. The popular resale platform has updated its size classifications for women's and children's clothes failing to inform all users about the change. Social Media Reaction Many shoppers and sellers are posting online stating that platform listings now display an altered size classification compared to what was initially listed due to the recalibration. Vinted explained the new system was more in line with comparable marketplaces. The platform has recommended to review their products and adjust the sizing manually when needed, resulting in member annoyance. Size Classification Modifications Earlier, the measurements included one number and one letter, like S/8 or M/10. The updated approach includes a letter with a size spectrum such as S/UK 8-10. For certain items, the measurements have been reclassified - for example a size L used to be a 12 but is now a UK 16-18. Member Experiences A fashion influencer, who produces content about larger sizing, said the change "makes both selling and buying harder". "Few clothing companies classify XL as 20-22," the way the service now categorizes. Another user, located in Scotland, explained products she uploaded with size 14 tags were appearing on the platform as measurements 20-22. "Should someone sized 20-22 purchase these they're going to be very disappointed," she stated. Manual Updates Charlotte Lunn, from Derby, explained she became annoyed because the modification necessitated personal updates the sizes on "every single listing". "For me this is particularly frustrating, because of my ongoing medical condition and Vinted sales have been crucial following partial earnings loss," she said. Service Background The service features exceeding 100 million shoppers, comprising 18 million UK members. It has emerged as a preferred choice versus similar marketplaces including eBay and Depop. This represents another occasion when a surprising modification to the app has proved unpopular: previously, the platform withdrew an update concerning shipment methods due to shopper criticism.
