The second-hand marketplace Members Share Anger Regarding Sizing Changes
Vinted users have been reacting angrily after an update resulted in items being listed as the wrong size.
This online marketplace has revised its sizing categories for women's and children's clothes failing to inform every member regarding the update.
Online Platforms Response
Numerous buyers and vendors have taken to social media saying Vinted listings now show a modified sizing category versus the original listing because of the remapping.
The platform stated the new system was more in line with similar services.
The platform has recommended to check their listings and manually change the size if necessary, which has left users frustrated.
Size Classification Modifications
Previously, the sizing featured a single numeric size and a letter, like S/8 or M/10.
The updated approach includes a letter with a size spectrum such as S/UK 8-10.
In some cases, the size labels have been reassigned - like an L measurement used to be a 12 but is now a UK 16-18.
Member Experiences
One content creator, who makes TikTok content about plus-size fashion, stated the update "complicates both purchasing and selling".
"Not many brands say XL is a 20-22," as the platform currently indicates.
A different member, located in Scotland, stated items she posted featuring size 14 markings were appearing on the platform as measurements 20-22.
"If anyone [who is] size 20-22 buys them they may become frustrated," she stated.
Required Changes
Charlotte Lunn, from Derby, said she had been left angered due to the update requiring manual adjustment the sizes on "every single listing".
"This situation is especially annoying, because of my ongoing medical condition and platform income has been essential following partial earnings loss," she said.
Platform Context
The app has more than 100 million shoppers, comprising 18 million UK members.
It has become a favored option to second-hand platforms like eBay and Depop.
This represents another occasion that an unexpected update within the service has received backlash: previously, the platform withdrew an update concerning shipment methods following member complaints.
