đŸ”— Share this article Vinted Members Share Displeasure About Sizing Modifications Members of the platform have expressed outrage following a change that caused listings displaying inaccurate size information. This online marketplace has revised its measurement guidelines for female and kids' apparel without notifying all shoppers about the modification. Digital Channels Response Countless users and merchants have taken to social media saying Vinted listings now show a modified sizing category versus the original listing due to the recalibration. 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, resulting in member annoyance. Size Classification Modifications Before the change, the measurements included one number and one letter, such as S/8 or M/10. The new system has an alphabetical indicator and numerical range for example S/UK 8-10. In some cases, the size labels have been reassigned - such as a large size used to be a 12 but currently displays as UK 16-18. User Stories Frankie Bridger, who creates plus-size fashion videos, said the change "makes both selling and buying harder". "Rarely do manufacturers list XL as sizes 20-22," as the platform currently indicates. A different member, based in Glasgow, stated items she posted featuring size 14 markings were appearing on the platform as larger sizing 20-22. "If buyers measuring 20-22 acquire them they may become frustrated," she stated. Necessary Adjustments A different user, from Derby, explained she became annoyed by the change as she had to manually change the measurements for "each individual item". "Personally, this is quite irritating, because of my ongoing medical condition and platform income has been essential following partial earnings loss," she said. Service Background The platform boasts over 100 million members, comprising 18 million UK members. It has emerged as a preferred choice to second-hand platforms like eBay and Depop. This is not the initial instance that an unexpected update on the platform has faced criticism: last year, the platform withdrew an update concerning shipment methods following member complaints.
