🔗 Share this article Vinted Members Express Frustration About Sizing Changes Members of the platform have expressed outrage after an update resulted in products showing incorrect sizing. This online marketplace has revised its size classifications for female and kids' apparel failing to inform all shoppers about the modification. Digital Channels Response Countless users and merchants have taken to social media claiming that product pages now present an altered size classification versus the original listing as a result of the reclassification. Vinted explained the revised method more closely matches similar services. It has advised users to review their products and update the measurements by hand where appropriate, resulting in member annoyance. Size Classification Changes Previously, the sizing featured one number and one letter, like S/8 or M/10. The new system has an alphabetical indicator and numerical range for example S/UK 8-10. For certain items, the sizing has been recategorised - for example a size L was formerly size 12 but now shows as UK 16-18. Member Experiences One content creator, who produces content about larger sizing, explained the modification "makes transactions more difficult". "Few clothing companies classify XL as 20-22," as the platform currently indicates. Stephanie Gallen, from Glasgow, stated items she posted on Vinted with size 14 labels were appearing on the platform as measurements 20-22. "Should someone sized 20-22 purchase these they will likely be quite upset," she said. Necessary Adjustments Charlotte Lunn, based in Derby, said she had been left angered due to the update requiring manual adjustment the sizes on "every single listing". "Personally, this is quite irritating, as I'm chronically ill and selling on Vinted has been paramount following partial earnings loss," she said. Marketplace Information The platform boasts over 100 million members, with 18 million British users. It has emerged as a preferred choice versus similar marketplaces including eBay and Depop. This isn't the first time where an unanticipated change on the platform has faced criticism: last year, the service retracted a modification concerning shipment methods after backlash from users.
