🔗 Share this article The second-hand marketplace Members Share Displeasure About Sizing Changes Vinted users have been reacting angrily after an update resulted in listings displaying inaccurate size information. The popular resale platform has revised its sizing categories for female and kids' apparel without notifying all users about the change. Online Platforms Backlash Numerous buyers and vendors are expressing on platforms claiming that product pages now present a modified sizing category compared to what was initially listed as a result of the reclassification. The platform stated the revised method more closely matches comparable marketplaces. The platform has recommended to examine their items and update the measurements by hand where appropriate, which has left users frustrated. Sizing System Updates Previously, the measurements included one number and one letter, like S/8 or M/10. The revised method features a letter and a range like S/UK 8-10. For certain items, the sizing has been recategorised - like an L measurement was formerly size 12 but is now a UK 16-18. Member Accounts One content creator, who produces content about larger sizing, stated the update "complicates both purchasing and selling". "Few clothing companies classify XL as 20-22," the way the service now categorizes. A different member, located in Scotland, explained products she uploaded with size 14 tags were appearing on the platform as larger sizing 20-22. "If anyone [who is] size 20-22 buys them they're going to be very disappointed," she explained. Necessary Adjustments Another shopper, based in Derby, said she had been left angered by the change as she had to manually change the sizes on "every single listing". "This situation is especially annoying, since I have chronic health issues and selling on Vinted has been paramount following partial earnings loss," she stated. Platform Context The platform boasts over 100 million members, with 18 million British users. It has become a favored option compared to resale services such as eBay and Depop. This isn't the first time that an unexpected update to the app has proved unpopular: last year, Vinted reversed a change concerning shipment methods after backlash from users.
