i sold an item on vinted in december, it was to be posted using the local inpost drop off in my corner shop. I sent the item which showed on both vinted and inpost tracking as being dropped off to the parcel shop and then tracked as 'in transit' for 2 days and then just stopped. inpost said my contract was with vinted and…

3 weeks waiting for a large parcel with £70 value. Please, how do I contact this lot directly? Their site just takes people around in a perpetual loop ad nauseam, ad infinitum. Usual story with most sites nowadays. "We've got it (edit:Yes, but I`d like it now!) We have your item and it's on its way. More information will…

Not exactly earth shattering news but Ebay have renamed the previous Unsold listings to Inactive - least on the app. Not sure of the logic behind the name change but you can still relist from there so no change to functionality.

Hi I've just sold 2 items to the same seller who has paid. I've been sent 2 RM prepaid labels, 1 for each item. One is for £2.18 and the other for £1.20 which is the same as the usual £3.38 postage. Do I just package both items together and print both labels and stick them on the package? Thanks

Hi all I purchased an expensive bag off Vinted. Typical seller says 'new with tags' yet the item had a lovely time in Madrid, bag full of tissues, a wine cork, receipts (hence I know it was madrid) and crumbs, not to mention damage to the lining. Obviously I was furious since it was a pressie for the wife. #rantover Since…

I recently bought a radio clock from vinted described as new. When I connected the batteries, there were some issues with the battery compartment and radio will switch on. I did email the seller requested a refund but later on when I tried again it works and I was pleased as ut was a good buy. Now disappointed it has…

This discussion was created from comments split from: Evri - compensation for returning shipment to company without trying to deliver?.

Hi, I sold a book on eBay but I didn't spot that they had changed it to Simple Delivery, so I posted it as normal. I won't be using the label now so can I request a refund for the unused label and how do I do it? TIA

I bought a used car fuel injector for ~£100 from a business seller on eBay. The item arrived wrapped in a carrier bag (not a mailing bag), loose inside an oversize box. It came through my letter box with a "thud" of the tip hitting the floor. To be fair, it looks fine - but it's a precision piece of equipment that…

Hi. New to Vinted & not sure what happens next? Recently I sold an item on Vinted, the parcel was collected by the courier from the Evri shop, their online tracking shows it is being processed at their hub. The tracking has not updated for 15 days. I contacted Evri who after three emails have said "it is potentially lost…

I'm trying to establish if a payment made through Paypal was made in error for Friends and Family as the seller of the item we wanted has not sent the item, or responded to questions as to where it is - on my partner's account the F&F option always comes up highlighted first which is hugely annoying as its very rare we'd…

A bit of a advice on reselling some new clothing. The are jackets which were bought from a end of the line clearance shop - I bought them with the intention of keeping a few for myself and them gifting the rest to my relative to sell on if he wants . There around about 30 jackets all the same and new - around about £700 in…

I'd understood that for the last few months private sellers have paid no ebay fees either for listing or as final value fees, unless you add the optional extras like reserve prices, subtitles etc. I've listed a few items recently, the latest one was snapped up at a Buy It Now price by someone in the USA (paying £15 for the…

I have listed a fancy torch, but in order to check it was still working I bought batteries. When it sells (hopefully !) can it post it off with the batteries inside, or should I just send the empty torch thank you

I haven't ebay'd for a year and now find the photos I've tried to upload today are rejected by ebay. They need to be 'over 500 pixels wide'. What software are ebayers using to convert iphone photos to what ebay will accept? [I take photos on iphone 16 pro and tbh I would have expected the phone to do this conversion to…

I want to 'contact Parcel Compare regarding a package collected today by UPS. I have searched their site with no success; I just keep going in circles. Googling 'how to contact them' puts me back to the same never ending circle. The Facebook and gmail symbols at the side of their screen show that they are not in operation…

I have been in the fortunate position of having a choice of local shops that take parcels for all the main couriers. I could visit 2 shops and cover every single one offered by Vinted for instance. However I have just received a notice from Yodel/Inpost saying they are pulling out of some shops and to check which others I…

Hi, I sold a special part of an equipment - gave the details of which part it was and stated that it could fit other equipment but buyer should check that out themselves before buying. Now buyer has opened a request saying "it does not fit". I have been given 3 options - accept return, decline return or refund full or…
