🔗 Share this article Vinted Shoppers Express Displeasure Over Sizing Updates Members of the platform have expressed outrage due to a modification that led to products showing incorrect sizing. The popular resale platform has altered its measurement guidelines for women's and children's garments failing to inform all users about the change. Digital Channels Response Many shoppers and sellers have taken to social media stating that platform listings now display a modified sizing category versus the original listing because of the remapping. Vinted explained the updated approach better aligns with comparable marketplaces. The platform has recommended to review their products and update the measurements by hand when needed, resulting in member annoyance. Sizing System Updates Before the change, the measurements included a single numeric size and a letter, for instance S/8 or M/10. The updated approach includes an alphabetical indicator and numerical range like S/UK 8-10. With some products, the sizing has been recategorised - such as a large size was formerly size 12 but is now a UK 16-18. User Stories Frankie Bridger, who produces content about larger sizing, stated the update "complicates both purchasing and selling". "Few clothing companies classify XL as 20-22," the way the service now categorizes. A different member, based in Glasgow, stated items she posted on Vinted with size 14 labels were appearing on the platform as size 20–22. "If anyone [who is] size 20-22 buys them they will likely be quite upset," she said. Manual Updates Charlotte Lunn, located in England, stated she felt frustrated because the modification necessitated personal updates the sizing for "all her products". "Personally, this is quite irritating, because of my ongoing medical condition and selling on Vinted has been paramount following partial earnings loss," she stated. Service Background The app has more than 100 million users, with 18 million British users. It has proved a popular alternative to second-hand platforms like eBay and Depop. This represents another occasion where an unanticipated change to the app has proved unpopular: earlier, the platform withdrew an update to its shipping options following member complaints.
