‘It irritates me so much’ Vinted shopper rages as she spots seller duping buyers into spending a fortune on £5 Shein top
IT’S one of the best places to find a bargain.
But there are also people who try and take advantage of Vinted, leaving other sellers and buyers raging.
A Vinted shopper was left fuming when they spotted this Shein top being sold for £17.50 on the appReddit
Not only that but the Vinted seller had used the same picture from Shein tooShein
One person took to Reddit to fume after spotting a seller trying to dupe buyers with a Shein top.
Sharing screenshots of the black vest top with a skull emblem on the front, they wrote: “This irritates me so much.
“Can we collectively agree that vinted is supposed to be cheap and genuine?”
They posted a snap of the top being sold for £5.78 on Shein, and the same top listed as a “Y2K vintage black skull tank top” – with a price of £17.50 on Vinted.
Not only that, but the cheeky seller had also used the Shein picture to advertise their top.
“I’m over here absolutely lowballing my clothes to get them gone and these sell so quick,” the Reddit poster added.
“I swear they always be labelling stuff as ‘vintage’,” one person commented on the post.
“I do that because I shop mainly in Vintage second hand stores – but the clothes ARE vintage, which usually means worn,” another said.
“Not ‘New without tags’ like this post …”
“Yea I feel like these sellers just do it so they can remove the tag and claim they don’t know where it’s from,” someone else replied.
“I have to assume the only people buying these are kids that think they’re getting vintage clothing???” another quesitoned.
” Right?? At least I hope no adults are falling for these.”
“I’m reporting listings like this left and right (I like browsing through the vintage part of Vinted),” someone else said.
“Up until now, Vinted has taken action (they send a message with their verdict)!
“Unfortunately, it looks like nothing happens until we as buyers do something..”
“Yep I see it a lot people buy cheap stuff off aliexpress etc and then sell it for triple the price,” another wrote.
“Not sure if it even goes against community guidelines I’d still report it tho.”
“Those type of people need jail time,” someone else said.
“OMG I’m over here tryna sell all my stuff that either doesn’t fit or isn’t in my type of style anymore.
“But its all from my personal closet and I can’t believe people actually do that to make profit.”
