đź”— Share this article Vinted Members Share Anger Regarding Size Updates Shoppers are voicing their frustration due to a modification that led to products showing incorrect sizing. The second-hand shopping app has altered its size classifications for women's and children's clothes but did not contact all shoppers about the modification. Digital Channels Response Many shoppers and sellers are expressing on platforms claiming that product pages now present a modified sizing category versus the original listing as a result of the reclassification. Vinted explained the new system was more in line with similar services. It has advised users to review their products and adjust the sizing manually if necessary, causing user dissatisfaction. Size Classification Modifications Previously, the sizes had both a single numeric size and a letter, such as S/8 or M/10. The new system has a letter with a size spectrum for example S/UK 8-10. With some products, the size labels have been reassigned - such as a large size was formerly size 12 but is now a UK 16-18. Member Experiences One content creator, who creates plus-size fashion videos, said the change "makes both selling and buying harder". "Not many brands say XL is a 20-22," the way the service now categorizes. A different member, located in Scotland, explained products she uploaded featuring size 14 markings were appearing on the platform as measurements 20-22. "If anyone [who is] size 20-22 buys them they're going to be very disappointed," she said. Manual Updates Charlotte Lunn, from Derby, explained she became annoyed by the change as she had to manually change the sizes on "every single listing". "This situation is especially annoying, as I'm chronically ill and platform income has been essential for me since losing part of my income," she explained. Service Background The service features exceeding 100 million shoppers, comprising 18 million UK members. It has proved a popular alternative compared to resale services such as eBay and Depop. This is not the initial instance where an unanticipated change within the service has received backlash: last year, the platform withdrew an update regarding delivery choices due to shopper criticism.
