đź”— Share this article Vinted Members Share Frustration About Sizing Modifications Vinted users have been reacting angrily due to a modification that led to products showing incorrect sizing. The popular resale platform has altered its sizing categories for women's and children's garments but did not contact every member regarding the update. Digital Channels Response Countless users and merchants have taken to social media saying Vinted listings now show a different size category than originally posted due to the recalibration. The company said the updated approach better aligns with similar services. The platform has recommended to examine their items and update the measurements by hand if necessary, which has left users frustrated. Measurement Approach Modifications Before the change, the measurements included a single numeric size and a letter, for instance S/8 or M/10. The updated approach includes a letter and a range like S/UK 8-10. With some products, the size labels have been reassigned - for example a size L used to be a 12 but is now a UK 16-18. Member Experiences A fashion influencer, who produces content about larger sizing, explained the modification "makes transactions more difficult". "Few clothing companies classify XL as 20-22," which is what Vinted now does. Another user, located in Scotland, explained products she uploaded featuring size 14 markings were displaying on the service as larger sizing 20-22. "If buyers measuring 20-22 acquire them they may become frustrated," she explained. Manual Updates A different user, based in Derby, explained she became annoyed due to the update requiring manual adjustment the sizing for "all her products". "This situation is especially annoying, since I have chronic health issues and platform income has been essential after experiencing income reduction," she stated. Service Background The app has more than 100 million members, 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 within the service has received backlash: earlier, Vinted reversed a change to its shipping options following member complaints.
