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 users about the change.
Online Platforms Reaction
Countless users and merchants have taken to social media saying Vinted listings now show a modified sizing category than originally posted due to the recalibration.
The company said the revised method more closely matches other platforms.
They have suggested members to check their listings and manually change the size where appropriate, which has left users frustrated.
Sizing System Updates
Previously, the sizes had both a single numeric size and a letter, such as S/8 or M/10.
The new system has an alphabetical indicator and numerical range like 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.
Member Accounts
A fashion influencer, who produces content about larger sizing, said the change "makes both selling and buying harder".
"Not many brands say XL is a 20-22," the way the service now categorizes.
A different member, located in Scotland, stated items she posted with size 14 tags were displaying on the service as larger sizing 20-22.
"If anyone [who is] size 20-22 buys them they may become frustrated," she stated.
Manual Updates
Charlotte Lunn, from Derby, explained she became annoyed due to the update requiring manual adjustment the sizing for "all her products".
"Personally, this is quite irritating, because of my ongoing medical condition and selling on Vinted has been paramount following partial earnings loss," she stated.
Marketplace Information
The service features exceeding 100 million users, including 18 million in the UK.
It has become a favored option to second-hand platforms like eBay and Depop.
This represents another occasion where an unanticipated change to the app has proved unpopular: previously, the service retracted a modification concerning shipment methods following member complaints.
