🔗 Share this article Vinted Users Voice Displeasure About Sizing Updates Shoppers are voicing their frustration after an update resulted in products showing incorrect sizing. This online marketplace has altered its sizing categories for female and kids' apparel but did not contact all users about the change. Online Platforms Backlash Many shoppers and sellers are expressing on platforms claiming that product pages now present a different size category versus the original listing due to the recalibration. Vinted explained the revised method more closely matches comparable marketplaces. It has advised users to review their products and adjust the sizing manually when needed, causing user dissatisfaction. Sizing System Modifications Earlier, the sizing featured one number and one letter, for instance S/8 or M/10. The revised method features a letter and a range such as S/UK 8-10. In some cases, the measurements have been reclassified - for example a size L was formerly size 12 but is now a UK 16-18. User Accounts One content creator, who produces content about larger sizing, said the change "makes both selling and buying harder". "Few clothing companies classify XL as 20-22," as the platform currently indicates. A different member, from Glasgow, explained products she uploaded with size 14 tags 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 stated. Manual Updates A different user, based in Derby, explained she became annoyed due to the update requiring manual adjustment the sizing for "all her products". "This situation is especially annoying, because of my ongoing medical condition and platform income has been essential following partial earnings loss," she explained. Marketplace Information The service features exceeding 100 million shoppers, with 18 million British users. It has emerged as a preferred choice to second-hand platforms like eBay and Depop. This represents another occasion where an unanticipated change on the platform has faced criticism: last year, Vinted reversed a change concerning shipment methods following member complaints.
