🔗 Share this article Vinted Shoppers Share Displeasure Regarding Size Changes Members of the platform have expressed outrage after an update resulted in listings displaying inaccurate size information. This online marketplace has revised its sizing categories for women's and children's clothes without notifying every member regarding the update. Digital Channels Reaction Countless users and merchants are posting online claiming that product pages now present an altered size classification than originally posted because of the remapping. The company said the revised method more closely matches other platforms. They have suggested members to check their listings and manually change the size when needed, which has left users frustrated. Size Classification Changes Earlier, the sizes had both one number and one letter, like S/8 or M/10. The new system has a letter with a size spectrum such as S/UK 8-10. For certain items, the sizing has been recategorised - like an L measurement was previously a 12 but currently displays as UK 16-18. Shopper Accounts Frankie Bridger, who makes TikTok content about plus-size fashion, said the change "makes both selling and buying harder". "Rarely do manufacturers list XL as sizes 20-22," as the platform currently indicates. Stephanie Gallen, located in Scotland, explained products she uploaded with size 14 tags were showing in the marketplace as size 20–22. "Should someone sized 20-22 purchase these they will likely be quite upset," she stated. Manual Updates A different user, from Derby, explained she became annoyed due to the update requiring manual adjustment the sizing for "all her products". "This situation is especially annoying, as I'm chronically ill and platform income has been essential for me since losing part of my income," she stated. Platform Context The service features exceeding 100 million shoppers, comprising 18 million UK members. It has become a favored option to second-hand platforms like eBay and Depop. This isn't the first time where an unanticipated change within the service has received backlash: earlier, Vinted reversed a change regarding delivery choices after backlash from users.
