đź”— Share this article Vinted Members Share Displeasure About Size Updates 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 measurement guidelines for female and kids' apparel without notifying all shoppers about the modification. Social Media Backlash Countless users and merchants are posting online claiming that product pages now present a different size category versus the original listing because of the remapping. Vinted explained the updated approach better aligns with similar services. The platform has recommended to examine their items and adjust the sizing manually if necessary, causing user dissatisfaction. Size Classification Modifications Earlier, the sizes had both one number and one letter, for instance S/8 or M/10. The updated approach includes a letter with a size spectrum like S/UK 8-10. For certain items, the size labels have been reassigned - like an L measurement was formerly size 12 but now shows as UK 16-18. Member Accounts A fashion influencer, who makes TikTok content about plus-size fashion, explained the modification "makes transactions more difficult". "Few clothing companies classify XL as 20-22," which is what Vinted now does. Stephanie Gallen, located in Scotland, stated items she posted with size 14 tags were showing in the marketplace as larger sizing 20-22. "If buyers measuring 20-22 acquire them they may become frustrated," she explained. Manual Updates A different user, located in England, explained she became annoyed because the modification necessitated personal updates the measurements for "each individual item". "For me this is particularly frustrating, as I'm chronically ill and selling on Vinted has been paramount following partial earnings loss," she stated. Service Background The platform boasts over 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 represents another occasion when a surprising modification to the app has proved unpopular: earlier, the platform withdrew an update concerning shipment methods following member complaints.
