đź”— Share this article Vinted Shoppers Share Anger About Sizing Modifications Shoppers are voicing their frustration after an update resulted in listings displaying inaccurate size information. This online marketplace has revised its size classifications for women's and children's garments but did not contact all users about the change. Social Media Response Many shoppers and sellers have taken to social media claiming that product pages now present a modified sizing category than originally posted because of the remapping. Vinted explained the new system was more in line with other platforms. They have suggested members to check their listings and manually change the size when needed, resulting in member annoyance. Measurement Approach Modifications Before the change, the measurements included numerical and alphabetical indicators, such as S/8 or M/10. The revised method features a letter with a size spectrum for example S/UK 8-10. With some products, the size labels have been reassigned - like an L measurement was previously a 12 but currently displays as UK 16-18. User Experiences A fashion influencer, who makes TikTok content about plus-size fashion, explained the modification "makes transactions more difficult". "Rarely do manufacturers list XL as sizes 20-22," the way the service now categorizes. Stephanie Gallen, located in Scotland, 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 may become frustrated," she said. Necessary Adjustments Another shopper, from Derby, stated she felt frustrated by the change as she had to manually change the sizes on "every single listing". "This situation is especially annoying, as I'm chronically ill and platform income has been essential after experiencing income reduction," she explained. Service Background The service features exceeding 100 million users, including 18 million in the UK. It has proved a popular alternative to second-hand platforms like eBay and Depop. This represents another occasion where an unanticipated change within the service has received backlash: last year, the platform withdrew an update concerning shipment methods following member complaints.
