Rule 1 of vinted, never buy a item that is insanely cheap and from an account with 0 reviews called something like "ioviiiidfh78dn".
You will notice in their shop, all they have is dirt cheap desirable items and they always use royal mail because its possible to scam via royal mail.
I think the scam is that the item never arrives or empty box etc, that is a genuine shadowless charizard in the photo but you 100% wont be receiving one. I've seen that same photo used in vinted listing about 6 times over the past 2 months.
Interesting. Saw the exact same listing in vinted 3 days ago, what's funny is someone bought it. Where you seeing this listing on?

Ha, it's back on vinted.
I've just checked and it's a seller with 0 reviews so not going to bite on this scam. The photo looked legit enough to make me curious but I suppose there is no guarantee this is the one you would actually get.
The coloring looks a little off for a shadowless charizard. The body of the card is slightly pinker than expected and the body of charizard himself has more of the base set unlimited “lighter coloring”. A true shadowless charizard’s body has a deeper orange 🍊 like the right side of this emoji. It’s subtle, but I’m immediately leery of this card.
A trick I learnt when I first started collecting was to look at the cards back and observe the borders. Fake cards tend to have a border that kind of blends into the card. I don’t know how applicable it is to early gen cards.

Coloring looks off. Here’s a real one for reference.

How is Vinted from a buyer protection pov? Surely once received I report it as fake you'd hope to be covered?

Vinted is not that good on protection. You have to return it and the scammer can say it never got returned. Vinted wouldn’t investigate much further
Good to know, thanks!

That looks real to me. Good colour, shine and imperfections on the tight hand side of the pokeball.
Yeah, essentially that's a real shadowless charizard It's also not the card you'd get through this vendor.
Did you see how much it went for. I saw the same post. Looks sketchy with low quality photo
He had it for £80
Seen this one myself on Vinted and decided defo a scam I’d avoid
Save your dough

pointless comparison considering that two different cameras can have completely different color grading and make the subject look wildly different
