đŸ”— Share this article Vinted Members Voice Anger Over Size Changes Vinted users have been reacting angrily following a change that caused items being listed as the wrong size. The second-hand shopping app has revised its size classifications for women's and children's clothes failing to inform all users about the change. Online Platforms Backlash Countless users and merchants have taken to social media stating that platform listings now display a different size category than originally posted as a result of the reclassification. Vinted explained the revised method more closely matches comparable marketplaces. It has advised users to examine their items and adjust the sizing manually when needed, which has left users frustrated. Measurement Approach Changes Previously, the measurements included numerical and alphabetical indicators, like S/8 or M/10. The revised method features an alphabetical indicator and numerical range such as 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 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," as the platform currently indicates. A different member, located in Scotland, explained products she uploaded with size 14 tags were appearing on the platform as size 20–22. "Should someone sized 20-22 purchase these they're going to be very disappointed," she explained. Required Changes Charlotte Lunn, located in England, stated she felt frustrated due to the update requiring manual adjustment the sizing for "all her products". "Personally, this is quite irritating, as I'm chronically ill and Vinted sales have been crucial after experiencing income reduction," she explained. Platform Context The app has more than 100 million users, comprising 18 million UK members. It has emerged as a preferred choice versus similar marketplaces including eBay and Depop. This isn't the first time where an unanticipated change to the app has proved unpopular: earlier, the service retracted a modification concerning shipment methods after backlash from users.
