š Share this article The second-hand marketplace Members Share Frustration About Sizing Updates Members of the platform have expressed outrage due to a modification that led to products showing incorrect sizing. This online marketplace has revised its measurement guidelines for female and kids' apparel failing to inform all shoppers about the modification. Digital Channels Reaction Numerous buyers and vendors are posting online claiming that product pages now present an altered size classification than originally posted due to the recalibration. Vinted explained the updated approach better aligns with other platforms. It has advised users to examine their items and manually change the size where appropriate, resulting in member annoyance. Size Classification Modifications Earlier, the measurements included numerical and alphabetical indicators, such as S/8 or M/10. The new system has a letter and a range for example S/UK 8-10. In some cases, the measurements have been reclassified - like an L measurement used to be a 12 but now shows as UK 16-18. User Accounts Frankie Bridger, who creates plus-size fashion videos, stated the update "complicates both purchasing and selling". "Rarely do manufacturers list XL as sizes 20-22," the way the service now categorizes. Another user, based in Glasgow, said garments she listed with size 14 tags were displaying on the service as size 20ā22. "If anyone [who is] size 20-22 buys them they will likely be quite upset," she explained. Manual Updates Charlotte Lunn, located in England, explained she became annoyed by the change as she had to manually change the sizes on "every single listing". "Personally, this is quite irritating, since I have chronic health issues and selling on Vinted has been paramount after experiencing income reduction," she explained. Marketplace Information The service features exceeding 100 million users, 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 that an unexpected update on the platform has faced criticism: previously, Vinted reversed a change concerning shipment methods after backlash from users.
