🔗 Share this article The second-hand marketplace Members Express Displeasure About Size Changes Shoppers are voicing their frustration following a change that caused products showing incorrect sizing. The second-hand shopping app has altered its size classifications for women's and children's garments without notifying all shoppers about the modification. Social Media Backlash Many shoppers and sellers have taken to social media stating that platform listings now display an altered size classification versus the original listing due to the recalibration. The platform stated the new system was more in line with other platforms. They have suggested members to examine their items and adjust the sizing manually if necessary, resulting in member annoyance. Size Classification Updates Previously, the measurements included numerical and alphabetical indicators, for instance S/8 or M/10. The revised method features 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 was previously a 12 but now shows as UK 16-18. Shopper Stories A fashion influencer, who makes TikTok content about plus-size fashion, said the change "makes both selling and buying harder". "Few clothing companies classify XL as 20-22," the way the service now categorizes. A different member, from Glasgow, explained products she uploaded featuring size 14 markings were appearing on the platform as measurements 20-22. "Should someone sized 20-22 purchase these they're going to be very disappointed," she stated. Manual Updates Charlotte Lunn, located in England, explained she became annoyed because the modification necessitated personal updates the measurements for "each individual item". "Personally, this is quite irritating, as I'm chronically ill and selling on Vinted has been paramount following partial earnings loss," she explained. Service Background The app has more than 100 million shoppers, with 18 million British users. It has proved a popular alternative to second-hand platforms like eBay and Depop. This represents another occasion when a surprising modification within the service has received backlash: earlier, the service retracted a modification regarding delivery choices after backlash from users.
