Major Vinted Change to Buying and Selling - and Users Says It's 'Totally Stupid'
Vinted changed women's and kids' clothing sizes to align with international brands, prompting users to manually update listings amid widespread confusion and frustration.
- On Monday, November 10, Vinted users spotted a major sizing overhaul as the company grouped sizes and automatically updated many listings on Europe's top second-hand fashion marketplace.
- To standardise cross-border sizing, Vinted said it updated size guidelines to make women's and kid's sizing more accurate across international brands and align with other platforms.
- User posts demonstrated that sizes like ‘size 8’ are now ‘size 8-10’, and ‘size 10’ shifted to ‘size 12-14’, with posters calling it a ‘nightmare’ and quoting, 'Thanks for the heads up!'
- Vinted told sellers to check listings and manually change sizes using the listing edit function, while some sellers, including Charlotte Lunn, paused selling due to wrong size displays.
- Search and discovery are affected as sellers warned the remapping could disrupt dropdown menus, buyers must check measurements and tagged photos carefully, and some users said they received no prior contact despite UK members being messaged and Help Centre guidance existing.
