Vinted is an organization run by bots. As a buyer, you often do not meet the conditions to get your money back, or the seller is found to be in the wrong because he did not ship it properly, while it is clear that the shipping company tampered with it and it broke while there was all kinds of foam and packaging around it. Or the shipper sends it in a cereal box, so it arrives as mush.
I have also seen the hardening in sales. Sellers who suddenly sell to someone else (while the offer has been accepted), decent and proper consultation or “who comes, first served” no longer works because people quickly sell to someone who offers higher (which you cannot see in Marktplaats). ). The favor factor as in the past and friendliness has made way for hardness and giving a shit about everyone.
Then there are sellers who suddenly cancel items or remove them from their profile and put them back on for a higher price. Marktplaats was once a friendly platform, but now almost all these sales sites are a reflection of the me-me-me society. Antisocial behavior is what you see a lot, as well as scams, selling items that really deviate from the description (stains, cracks) and not to mention sites such as Marktplaats and Vinted in the advertising “environmentally conscious because second hand” the underlying message is that there are sometimes scalpers who make profiteering profits from rare items and it only encourages the shopping-sick people to buy and sell even more. If you’ve worn a pair of pants twice, go to Vinted and buy something new.
