🔗 Share this article Vinted Members Voice Frustration Regarding Size Changes Vinted users have been reacting angrily due to a modification that led to items being listed as the wrong size. The popular resale platform has updated its sizing categories for women's and children's garments but did not contact all users about the change. Social Media Reaction Countless users and merchants are posting online saying Vinted listings now show an altered size classification compared to what was initially listed due to the recalibration. The company said the new system was more in line with similar services. The platform has recommended to review their products and adjust the sizing manually if necessary, resulting in member annoyance. Measurement Approach Updates Previously, the sizes had both one number and one letter, like S/8 or M/10. The new system has an alphabetical indicator and numerical range like S/UK 8-10. With some products, the measurements have been reclassified - like an L measurement used to be a 12 but currently displays as UK 16-18. User Experiences Frankie Bridger, who produces content about larger sizing, 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, based in Glasgow, stated items she posted on Vinted with size 14 labels were displaying on the service as measurements 20-22. "Should someone sized 20-22 purchase these they will likely be quite upset," she stated. Necessary Adjustments A different user, located in England, said she had been left angered because the modification necessitated personal updates the sizing for "all her products". "Personally, this is quite irritating, because of my ongoing medical condition and platform income has been essential following partial earnings loss," she explained. Service Background The service features exceeding 100 million users, including 18 million in the UK. It has become a favored option versus similar marketplaces including eBay and Depop. This represents another occasion that an unexpected update on the platform has faced criticism: previously, Vinted reversed a change to its shipping options due to shopper criticism.
