š Share this article The second-hand marketplace Users Share Displeasure Regarding Sizing Changes Shoppers are voicing their frustration due to a modification that led to products showing incorrect sizing. The second-hand shopping app has altered its measurement guidelines for women's and children's garments failing to inform all shoppers about the modification. Social Media Backlash 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 platform stated the updated approach better aligns with other platforms. It has advised users to review their products and update the measurements by hand where appropriate, resulting in member annoyance. Size Classification Changes Before the change, the sizes had both one number and one letter, 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 size labels have been reassigned - like an L measurement used to be a 12 but now shows as UK 16-18. User Accounts Frankie Bridger, who makes TikTok content about plus-size fashion, stated the update "complicates both purchasing and selling". "Few clothing companies classify XL as 20-22," which is what Vinted now does. Another user, located in Scotland, said garments she listed featuring size 14 markings were appearing on the platform as larger sizing 20-22. "If buyers measuring 20-22 acquire them they're going to be very disappointed," she said. Manual Updates Another shopper, located in England, 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, because of my ongoing medical condition and platform income has been essential following partial earnings loss," she stated. Service Background The service features exceeding 100 million members, with 18 million British users. It has proved a popular alternative to second-hand platforms like eBay and Depop. This is not the initial instance that an unexpected update to the app has proved unpopular: earlier, Vinted reversed a change regarding delivery choices after backlash from users.
