I have been using vited for buying for a while and the past few month its gone downhill super fast
No matter what i search for now theres litterally loads of very clear fake no review seller accounts selling or listing items for ultra cheap prices
Im talking new ninja items of 600 coffee machines for 40 and 50 quid
Tge amount of people watching the itemd is alot too so clearly not everyone can spot a clear fake seller account
So was just a warning to people
I reported to vinted and they do nothing and come back saying seller gas not broke any rules
I know fakes on everything and ebay but ive been using ebay since it started and rarely encountered fake profiles and issues like with vinted

Yes. I ordered items from 2 sellers that Vinted have now blocked - I suspect it’s because they are scammers. It’s annoying that my payments are not refunded by Vinted immediately and I have to wait a long time to be refunded.0

Of course reporting to eBay was a waste of time as they did nothing until the bad feedback rolled in by which point the scammers were on to their next account for upcoming weekend.In the game of chess you can never let your adversary see your pieces0 -

I wouldn't buy UGGs anyway but it is quite obvious a scam. Reported to vinted but they really don't care.I have seen many people say the same on other forums, plenty of fake items being sold and reported but vinted do nothing. I'm not sure why they don't care though.
