š Share this article The second-hand marketplace Members Voice Anger Regarding 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 altered its measurement guidelines for women's and children's garments without notifying every member regarding the update. Online Platforms Response Countless users and merchants are expressing on platforms claiming that product pages now present a different size category compared to what was initially listed as a result of the reclassification. Vinted explained the updated approach better aligns with comparable marketplaces. The platform has recommended to examine their items and manually change the size where appropriate, which has left users frustrated. Size Classification Updates Before the change, the sizing featured one number and one letter, for instance S/8 or M/10. The updated approach includes a letter with a size spectrum for example S/UK 8-10. In some cases, the size labels have been reassigned - like an L measurement was formerly size 12 but currently displays as UK 16-18. Member Accounts Frankie Bridger, who makes TikTok content about plus-size fashion, stated the update "complicates both purchasing and selling". "Not many brands say XL is a 20-22," as the platform currently indicates. A different member, from Glasgow, explained products she uploaded on Vinted with size 14 labels were displaying on the service as larger sizing 20-22. "Should someone sized 20-22 purchase these they're going to be very disappointed," she stated. Required Changes Another shopper, from Derby, stated she felt frustrated due to the update requiring manual adjustment the measurements for "each individual item". "Personally, this is quite irritating, as I'm chronically ill and Vinted sales have been crucial for me since losing part of my income," she explained. Service Background The platform boasts over 100 million members, including 18 million in the UK. It has become a favored option to second-hand platforms like eBay and Depop. This isn't the first time when a surprising modification to the app has proved unpopular: previously, the service retracted a modification to its shipping options after backlash from users.
