đź”— Share this article Vinted Members Express Anger About Sizing Changes Shoppers are voicing their frustration following a change that caused products showing incorrect sizing. The second-hand shopping app has altered its sizing categories for women's and children's clothes but did not contact every member regarding the update. Social Media Response Numerous buyers and vendors are expressing on platforms stating that platform listings now display a different size category than originally posted because of the remapping. The company said the updated approach better aligns with other platforms. They have suggested members to examine their items and adjust the sizing manually when needed, causing user dissatisfaction. Size Classification Modifications Before the change, the sizing featured numerical and alphabetical indicators, for instance S/8 or M/10. The updated approach includes an alphabetical indicator and numerical range such as S/UK 8-10. For certain items, the size labels have been reassigned - for example a size L used to be a 12 but now shows as UK 16-18. Shopper Stories One content creator, who makes TikTok content about plus-size fashion, stated the update "complicates both purchasing and selling". "Rarely do manufacturers list XL as sizes 20-22," which is what Vinted now does. Another user, from Glasgow, said garments she listed with size 14 tags were displaying on the service as measurements 20-22. "If buyers measuring 20-22 acquire them they're going to be very disappointed," she said. Necessary Adjustments Charlotte Lunn, located in England, explained she became annoyed 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 for me since losing part of my income," she said. Platform Context The service features exceeding 100 million users, comprising 18 million UK members. It has become a favored option compared to resale services such as 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.
