Bit of an annoyance with a vinted buyer saying an item they received is the wrong size. And literally sending a picture of the label that matches what was in my listing 🙄 Sorry you think you're a size smaller than you actually are but that ain't my fault.
Got my comp win candles, delighted with them 😊

Great result with the candles!

As in real life, the weirdos also found me when I used to sell on ebay. I always described my items very fully to mitigate this. I once received the following feedback about a top:
"Item is unwearable, but is exactly as described by the seller".
Eh?? Unpick that one if you can!

Thanks @beanielou and @jwil, they were so nicely packaged in environmentally friendly stuff too, and smell gorgeous. Such a treat. Just the thought of them has been bringing down my blood pressure this week!
Oh dear @foxgloves That is very on-brand for you! 😂
I'm also really diligent in my listings and having full five star rating for over a hundred buyers I would think reflects that, so if she wants to get huffy in a review because I chose the resolution option of her paying postage to return it, then I will completely (politely) respond that it was in the size that was listed. I guess some people haven't yet got their heads around 'randoms selling pre-owned items online are not shops'

A woman tried on a coat I was selling at a Car Boot, it was really tight on he.She looked in the mirror and asked the size.When I said 12, she said, Oh I’ll have it, it fits nicely……!!

And this is exactly why I don’t sell anything via Vinted or eBay. When I sold a few bits on eBay in the past, despite saying I didn’t ship overseas, I got into a dispute with someone from Italy who wanted to buy one of my items. She bid on it and wouldn’t let it go. Eventually we came to an agreement with the shipping but it has put me off for life. Just not worth the hassle.

😂 @liselle Bless her, where would we all be without our delusions. I'm obviously a size 8-10. Though tbf I'm not daft enough to buy anything in that size 😁
What a ridiculous palaver @Sun_Addict, some people eh. This is only the second dispute I've had in over a hundred listings on vinted though, so I would still thoroughly recommend it as a way to make a few quid if one has bits to get rid of and access to posting options
