🔗 Share this article The second-hand marketplace Users Express Displeasure About Size Modifications Members of the platform have expressed outrage after an update resulted in products showing incorrect sizing. The popular resale platform has revised its size classifications for female and kids' apparel without notifying all shoppers about the modification. Online Platforms Response Countless users and merchants are expressing on platforms stating that platform listings now display a modified sizing category compared to what was initially listed due to the recalibration. The platform stated the new system was more in line with other platforms. They have suggested members to review their products and update the measurements by hand where appropriate, causing user dissatisfaction. Measurement Approach Updates Before the change, the measurements included one number and one letter, for instance S/8 or M/10. The new system has an alphabetical indicator and numerical range for example S/UK 8-10. With some products, the size labels have been reassigned - such as a large size was previously a 12 but now shows as UK 16-18. Member Accounts A fashion influencer, who makes TikTok content about plus-size fashion, explained the modification "makes transactions more difficult". "Rarely do manufacturers list XL as sizes 20-22," as the platform currently indicates. Another user, from Glasgow, said garments she listed with size 14 tags were appearing on the platform as larger sizing 20-22. "Should someone sized 20-22 purchase these they may become frustrated," she stated. Necessary Adjustments Charlotte Lunn, from Derby, said she had been left angered because the modification necessitated personal updates the sizing for "all her products". "For me this is particularly frustrating, because of my ongoing medical condition and Vinted sales have been crucial for me since losing part of my income," she said. Platform Context The platform boasts over 100 million users, with 18 million British users. It has emerged as a preferred choice versus similar marketplaces including eBay and Depop. This represents another occasion when a surprising modification to the app has proved unpopular: previously, Vinted reversed a change concerning shipment methods due to shopper criticism.
