Scammed On Vinted...

[@TonksBoutique]

That's just crazy! Why do people think they can treat other people like that? Surprised you were so chilled about it James. Look forward to seeing what Vinted do about it.

[@retrobubble0]

Aah man that sucks. I always have the buyer protection on, you can't be too careful as there's a loads of scammy people like that online. Good to see you've taken the lesson and learned from it though and made a video warning others. Great vid.

[@25nasar]

I'm glad you put this up. Vinted is not the best. Many of the reviews are not accurate as vinted is not always letting buyers put up negative feedback. I've had orders cancelled yet the automatic feedback tool for negative feedback is not activated. Customer service is appalling and inconsistent. Difficult to chat with anyone

[@MD_ENTERTAINMENT]

You can leave negative feedback on anything you either buy or sell. If it doesn't show up automatically, you can click on the person's name, then click on the three dots at the top right of the screen, and it will give you the option to leave feedback

[@CarBoot_Chris]

There are loads of these dodgy £102.36 etc… listings with random usernames. Vinted need to stop worrying about resellers and start cleaning up their platform before they get a really bad reputation. Fingers crossed for you.

[@funkyuk1]

yes chris this. priorities all wrong at vinted 👍🏼

[@thealchmistoflovelight4444]

Original signed up for selling items and ended up purchasing quite a bit, but had loads of issues, 4 out of 10 are broken or missing from bundle, when you send proof to vinted you have to send photos of everything, hard when the items not in the package, or you send photos of packing items emails photos and hundreds of messages and thr seller doesnt even need to provide anything...been scammed a few times but all in all all the lovely girls and chaos I have spoken to are soooo lovely x

[@charghhhmaine1423]

Hey can I just ask if you can let your viewers know at the moment on vinted there seems to be a large group of scammers selling items such as juicy, white fox and Nike tracksuits at only £10 and Nike at £7 , they will only post via Royal mail , they will send you a fake delivery receipt almost instant and you will find that the royal mail symbol is blurred and been cropped into image, Please vinted buyers follow these simple steps to avoid being scammed 1. Communicate with seller before purchasing item , these scammers don't seem to be able to communicate or don't want to. 2. Avoid any seller who use's royal mail only 3. If it seems to good to be true it probably is 4. Most of the name looks like somebody slipped on a keyboard i.e , difoiehsjof Please be safe guys 🫶

[@GalacticGamingClips]

When I see these scammers, I offer them 10x the amount they are asking

[@rachie_sherlock]

I was scammed on vinted and I sent my doll I was reluctant to sell, but I needed the cash badly. She claimed it was damaged when it arrived the box, however the box was already damaged it said in the description. She claimed it had got worse. It hadn't. I'd wrapped it with wrap and put it in a box inside a box double boxed. And the damage she was saying, was already there on the description I had proof. But vinted just refunded her without listening to me. Item was already damaged box, then I saw the same item same buyer and everything selling it for twice as much...she didn't want it anyway. So from my doll, she literally got her £ back, got the doll, I had to refund postage, for her then to go on and make another wad from MY doll. A doll which meant alot to me and I regret letting go, but at the time I had to make a choice between selling something I love or vets bills. It's a given isn't it my animal needed something. But in the end, I had to refund her and really struggle with that bill. The world is horrible when we should be kind. Also don't shop in printerval EVERYONE

[@paulturner4417]

I had exactly the same experience on my first purchase on vinted ! wanted a nintendo wii u and got an envelope! i got fully refunded . i just avoid people with no feedback or history . i’ve since learnt the ropes and probably purchased over 200 items to flip on ebay , with some absolutely brilliant buys

[@paigeturner165]

They do nothing to support sellers. So often I’ve had people buy things and lie about receiving or the condition of the product. It’s infuriating 😮

[@GeorgetteBellamy]

Sorry to hear you got scammed but did anyone else chuckle out loud a little when the item revealed itself to be a wooden stick 😂

[@Hornisse-sy2wg]

All sellers have to start from zero but high end feedbackers should be your preferred choice for safer trading. Avoid the scam vermin.

[@SimplyReselling]

Yeah I've noticed this, pretty much all items around £100 and the usernames have random numbers and letters are all scams 😂 Edit - on Vinted you have to pay buyer protection. If you do not let Vinted know there is an issue within 2 days of the item being delivered Vinted release the funds to the seller, this is where the scammers are hoping you don't open a claim quick enough

[@lowe925]

I’ve brought of someone with random letters n numbers an got item n was all ok

Only buy from well reviewed sellers Never buy from anyone who has zero reviews

[@globalsalvageuk]

About half the stuff I have bought on vinted doesn't even get sent. Always been refunded but it's super annoying. I still use it, but don't have high expectations.

[@RQUEGENE]

Hey mate been following you for a while looks like that shed is filling up. Nice work and keep it going. Unlucky about the Vinted situation. Hope it gets sorted

[@boldfinds]

Appreciate you following my mad life haha

[@lucyh86]

I only really tend to sell on vinted and to be honest most items really are at most £30 pushing £40 I've never really seen things for high value. They've been pretty good with me when Hermes have lost things. Hope you get your money back.

[@robgriz]

There’s plenty of Vinted scams for consoles; typically jumbled usernames, no previous history and the photos are a mirror / reversed image

[@liambatty6332]

I also have skammed. Ordered a golf club and I received a paper plate hahaha

[@porkulio]

Hello, thank you very much for the video. If you’re able to share an update, I’ll really appreciate it.

[@liambatty6332]

You will get refund. Send pics and they will take 48 hours and you will get a refund.

[@IsThisJd]

I just started selling on Vinted. I already had a terrible time as I was trying to purchase an item yet there was some error on the app. So to my shock, my first item apparently got sold. But when I was waiting for confirmation about who I’m sending my item to, a message popped up appearing as an ‘official Vinted member’. So I was obviously suspicious and it seems that I have been scammed in given my email address. It’s a good thing I felt suspicious and reported it. Still waiting for Vinted to respond.

[@NineDeadlyVenoms]

I've been burned there before. You will get a refund but it takes ages. I'm forever reporting obvious scammers on there and nothing is ever done.

[@Automotiverecoveryuk]

Nintendo stick 😮 i sold first item on vinted buyer chose option of delivered to store then when arrived to store i messaged him to collect item from store several times till its been 7 days then the buyer says the shop doesnt have no item for them to collect & tracking shows failed to collect with the 7 days so returning to sender i didnt recieve nothing back screen shotted everything along way with tracking and asking buyer to collect item from store then buyer claimed and said buyer will get refund so i commented great ive lost my item and money due then about 2 days later ive recived the funds for item so confused does vinted pay both buyer and seller out theu the protection fee

[@SteveSpendsaPenny]

Aww man - that’s terrible! I’m sure Vinted will refund you for it but what a nightmare. I’ve never had any issues with Vinted but then again I haven’t made any big purchases either really.

[@Yourlocalslowpoke]

These users are everywhere on Vinted but Vinted is usually decent at removing them

[@MaximusJohal]

Vinted need to do proper checks, they are new to the game.

[@GoogleMeAgain]

Subbed to your channel. I’m currently looking at buying an Xbox from this app, I’m unsure if I will do so after seeing this.

[@TheResellerKid]

With Vinted, always check for the random number and letter accounts. Always scammers and you can just tell by the photos usually and no feedback...just be careful mate.

[@boldfinds]

Appreciate this advice! I have quickly learnt this is the case

[@geordiereseller1525]

vinted is a nightmare it will take weeks to get your money back you may have to do a bank charge back

[@jonathanj.3695]

This is why I don't pay for anything unless the seller can physically present me with the product first. No product. No money. Period. It also works the other way around when I'm selling something to someone else. I'll choose a public place to meet up and I'll physically present the product to them. If they don't have the amount of money that we've agreed on, then buyer can frankly p*ss off. I don't leave room scammers to flex.

[@Rjsworlduk]

Only sell on vinted tbh no issues that sie tbh i know the 0.500 grams hale a kilo is standard when sellers pick out small light weight items ie t shirt etc ,must of been the lightest console ever lol hope you get it sorted

[@pilaiwanhanratty6840]

I need more help. Buyer got the stuff but not pushed the received it. And damaged my item and tell me more like lie details but is not true how can I do about it please need to help.

[@christopherwood12]

I get scammed on Vinted pretty much every day. Waiting for hundreds back from it and it takes so long to get the money back

[@GeorgieArcher]

He wouldn’t get the money until you say everything is fine with your order, which then you should get your money back

[@JonSheppardsells]

Your get your money back dont worry vinted are good with this. They do it with damaged and not item as described. I sell on vinted and you get people doing it to sellers to saying the item has not arrived. That stick is definitely antique 😆

[@HiImChase]

Unlucky man, I have just been scammed on vinted, hence me finding your video

[@boldfinds]

It’s a known thing!

[@geekyreports]

Hi, I only sell on Vinted, I always thought that buyers are well protected on it :// I hope, that buyer protection will get you your money back. I don't know if you know and if it still works, there's an app called Shpock, similar to Vinted, I used it in the UK and it worked well for local stuff.

[@RESELLERGEORGE]

shpock is pretty good 👍

[@binbootsalepickin]

Think I might be corrected but the picture is reverse image. Likely this could mean the picture has been used for scam purposes. Not 100% but sure I heard that somewhere. That's sucks man hopefully get it sorted.

[@Owen-ub3fv]

As soon as I saw the " I wish you a happy life" part of his message I knew he was scamming you. English either wasn't their first language or they were taunting you for their own amusement believing you to be gullible.

Also the "Please do not worry" bit came out of nowhere and is another scammer line they like to trot out.

[@ultimatesoccercards7511]

Hi James! I use vinted alot, there are loads of these users on vinted that you need to avoid. They’ll post highly sort after items and for some reason a pound or 2 over the nearest 10, for example £101, £51, £92 etc. Their users will always have a mixture of letters and numbers with no reviews.

[@paulturner4417]

i noticed this with there pricing , always £102 or £303 , not sure why tho

[@DaiGriffiths-nc7pp]

A stick is wild 😂😂

[@Themis33]

Vinted hold the money until the buyer agrees they've received the correct item and have no issues. So the seller won't have got any money and you will have got a refund.

So what happened in the end?

[@RESELLERGEORGE]

awww no that sucks. Theres alot of scammy sneaker sellers on Vinted too. I think the red flag is the no feedback as a buyer or a seller and i think you can see how long theyve been a member. Hopefully you'll get a refund. I mean Vinted as the broker should have the scammers bank account details (if its even theirs) so they might refer it to the police who knows.

They sent back the purchase, i asked vinted to change the delivery address or the name of receiver and the support wrote me then they can't manage the shipping. ahahaahahaa Guys... thery are really bad.
