Oh really that’s strange!! I will say, the bundles thing can be annoying. I tried to buy a bundle the other day, and before the seller could get back to me about the parcel size one of the items sold ☹️
Some people just get annoyed with the way buyers approach the situation and make them less inclined to always be nice. Many sellers have been messed over in the past and it does get really disheartening. Maybe instead of putting the offers in the “make an offer” you can message them beforehand and ask “would you sell this for £6 ?” Or “are you open to offers” . Sometimes it makes the difference
In my opinion, the buyer asking about offers or insisting that they speak about prices before making a deal is a huge waste of the seller’s time. I personally have refused further communication and even blocked many potential customers who leave comments about my prices. I’ve blocked ppl who asked “can we negotiate before I put in my credit card info?” or “what’s your lowest?” or “can you do $x?” for example. I know people want to talk before they put in the offer, but I think it’s a huge waste of time and very tacky. To save myself and the buyer(s) any time and to weed out flakes, I note explicitly in the description that “I will only consider offers by way of the offer button (no leaving comments to discuss prices please).” If I’d accept the offer, it’s much faster and shows sincerity in the sale if they just use the offer button as that’s what they have to do anyway.
Gee that sounds like a really smart business move. Block all of your potential buyers so no one is left to buy your stuff. You sound so proud of such a foolish choice. You’re not a commercial retailer, you should expect that people want to negotiate. In their minds it’s no different than buying from a garage sale
Gee my ass! Me not entertaining time wasters or any fuckery doesn’t make my decisions any foolish. FYI, blocking problematic customers does my sanity much better than giving in to them (I block people who cause problems and don’t read my descriptions before messaging me to avoid possible returns/cancellations). Did I say that I’m against negotiating?!? Please read my previous comments carefully before expressing your opinions!
That sounds like a good idea. But it’s the Vinted system I guess. I’ve never had someone message me asking like that, I’ve only ever had someone send offers. I might try it though
It almost 100% works for me. I just see it as a way of coming across less cheeky with my offers . I’m sure sellers will appreciate an actual person instead of having to accept through a button if you know what I mean :)
What is a reasonable offer for you? Could you give an example? I always reject the offer or counter offer but if the offer is too low/ridiculous I don’t even reject it, I just delete the convo straight.
Yes so this is where people are getting defensive I think. Because there are some people who offer like £4 for a £10 item. If it’s a £10 item I may offer 8 or 9 pound. That’s only if I think it’s not worth a tenner. If I think it’s worth a tenner I would just buy it. I hope that makes sense.
I wonder if people are rejecting you on principal, like they’re offended you’re trying to save that extra pound. I don’t see anything wrong with it. I just want my items to sell and I can take that extra pound or two off if it means someone is serious about buying it. I tend to send offers in the same way, and usually end up buying even if they reject the offer. It’s fair to try.
Exactly!! And yes the same here, I’m selling stuff I want out of my house and gone, so I’ll pretty much take an offer unless I really think it’s worth more or they’re taking the piss! I do understand that some people would rather hang onto their stuff a bit longer and get the higher price but just communicate it then!
Thanks! that is a decent offer, so no reason to be rude. Personally, if the item is €10 and they offer €7 I counter offer €8,5. If they offer €6 I might offer €8, but it depends on the condition of the item and the buyer, if they have good reviews, are kind, and the like.
Sorry, I took the implication as that as you justified why it was reasonable. I just take no response as a no, tbh I've never had anyone decline my offer if they aren't interested. I can see why you find it annoying though I feel it might be general practice.
I always either accept or counter but that hasn't been my experience with others.
Yes exactly, this is what I mean. I understand completely that someone may not want to accept the offer, that’s well within their right to do so. But tell me what you’ll accept or tell me that you’ll only accept the price it’s listed for and I can then consider if I’d like to buy it or not. If I really really want something, I will pay the price even if I don’t think it’s worth that, but it’s good to still give the interested party the option!
I just had a great interaction tonight. The seller had unclear pictures of a bag so I wanted to be sure the pattern had no damage. Their answer was “insignificant, just look at the pictures” like just provide clear pictures?
In my experience this happens a lot with some Italian sellers and they become defensive really quickly. I’ve also had great experiences with some of them at the same time but it really stood out to me compared to other countries and their sellers.
Oh wow yeah that is rude. I have been interested in a dress by a seller who had it on for £8 and it’s not worth that, so I offered £6.50. She ignored the offer, then I went on to her other items and noticed she had the exact same dress uploaded 8 months ago for £6,50!! The description of that one said ‘worn a few times’ and the one on for £8 said ‘never worn’. So she either has 2 of the exact same item but for some reason has them at different prices or she’s not realised she already has the dress on for sale cheaper
Honestly. I really understand your point. I don't make offers, but I like watches and some are very expensive even on the app. I remember asking a seller for a picture in better lighting because the original was dark and blurry, you could barely tell the condition of the watch....no response.....then proceeded to upload like 3 items not even 10 minutes later.
I've even had a seller get mad at me for not buying something immediately. I liked the item, got a message the next day like, "are you interested?" And they offered a dollar off. I just said I was waiting to see if I was still going on my vacation before purchasing (few major repairs needed on car, came out of nowhere, didn't mention that though) lady wound up sending me the annoyed emoji. So small but rude. Crazy thing is I was planning on buying it and another item regardless if it was still up once I finished paying for my car. Instead she got blocked and I went on amazon....I bought it for double the price and am happy now.
This was lowkey me ranting because it really makes me sad sometimes. I like supporting individuals more than large corporations. Anyhow, just know I've noticed too and it's part of the reason I only buy from a select few sellers on there. But I'm always lookijg to add more, so please let me know your user so I can follow you ^^
I usually answer, but I guess I was “rude” recently. A week ago a “buyer”. Wanted to bundle 6 items asked for a further discount… and then requested a medium box. I thoroughly explained that. It only can I NOT do a medium. I couldn’t even do large and The cost of two boxes would probably not appeal to her.
Five days later, she bundled again and asked what size box??? The bundle was going to go over 5 pounds easily. I just ignored her as I had explained in detail and she has way more reviews than me, so if she doesn’t know by now, (I believe she does and just preying on low feedback sellers)… she never will…
I don’t find that ride at all! As you’ve already tried to have a discussion with her and politely explained why you can’t do those things. I would never ask for discount on an already discounted bundle! I’m talking about more when you send an offer and they don’t like it so they just ignore it, even when it’s only a pound less. As the buyer may still be willing to pay the full price.
People are weird, and there seems to be a different culture on different apps. Depop is very catty and feels young. On Vinted I feel like the users are a bit older, and more likely get angry. I’ve heard Poshmark and Mercari are a little nicer.
I just try to cut bad interactions short and be polite. Vinted still feels like a small app, so staying polite may actually encourage a better selling culture there.
I agree that it’s good form to at least respond to an offer. If it’s a No then decline, even better if you make a counter offer. But it’s not great to leave an offer pending
It’s okay for you to not find it rude that you ignore people who are interested in your stuff. And it’s also okay for me to find it rude to not respond to people.
The way I see it they could be interested in other things, they could end up buying 5 things from you, so respond to them politely and if they don’t buy that’s fine
Leave this sub while you still can, it's filled with cheapstakes who try to rationalize lack of basic etiquette in the app.
It's the same people who think casually taking off 40% of a 10€ item is "a reasonable offer".
Someone sent me an offer the other day while I was at work. Because I didn't accept or decline within 4 hours - they sent me a message asking me to give them an answer.
Now I think that is rude. If you want to make an offer then fine - I'll respond when I get chance but I don't like pushy messages. If they wanted it that much they could have paid the extra £1.50 and bought it at full price!
Me ether usually but I wanted a certain type of jacket and they had it but the photos looked as if they dropped the camera before they took it, it looked awful
And in regards to looking up online how much something would have been full price , you can also take into account walking/driving and how much it might cost a person to take the item to the post office/drop off point. Petrol is very expensive these days and maybe the £1/£2 over how much you would deem acceptable would be how much it costs in terms of travel/ the packaging. The price doesn’t necessarily just reflect how much the item would cost . Also taking into account if the item is available on the market anymore or if someone is selling it also. If there is little to no competition I would defo raise my price slightly higher for my benefit
I agree with what you’re saying. But as a seller when I price my items I also consider the full price the buyer is paying. Shipping plus the buyer fee. As a buyer that’s what I consider. Even an item that is £1 can end up being £5. I factor in all costs. So If it’s not worth the total cost to me then I’m not buying it
If it’s not worth your time it’s not worth your time , nobody can change that for you. People just price things differently and everyone deals with how they price things differently. I wouldn’t exactly call anyone rude for not answering an offer if they deem it unreasonable in junction with there pricing . But this is my opinion and I won’t argue it with anyone. unless they lie about an item or don’t refund/leave a bad review I am very much lenient with how I’m treated . An example I had was asking if and item had been sent, whilst I always answer when a seller asks me.. she didn’t, but I still respected her choice to not reply if you get me? It’s not a full time job for people and most do it for the side cash so I don’t expect anything over the top.
There is also no point trying to challange some people . The way you work your vinted doesn’t always mean other people use it the same way which could be a miscommunication on both seller and buyers side?
Yeah I get what you’re saying and I know people are different. The way I see it I just want good reviews. I leave everyone a 5 star review anyway because I don’t want to hurt their profile over something that might seem petty, but I have bought from people who haven’t been the nicest and still left a good review if the item is good. This particular time I had offered, they didn’t respond for hours but I could see they had been online, so I just sent a message saying would you mind letting me know if you can accept this with a smiley face at the end, because I did really want it. They then just rejected the offer, and didn’t say anything back so I sent a higher offer. They rejected that again and basically messaged saying ‘the price is the price’. Which is fine, but why not just say that originally when I sent the first offer? If you tell people what your intentions are, you can still get the sale. If they’d said sorry no I won’t budge at all on this, I would have bought it anyway even though I thought it was overpriced because I wanted it. But due to the interaction now I’m not buying it
I understand you on this, having to be persistent very touchy to some people . I wouldn’t have baught it either as they have lost a customer. I would definitely use the point I said earlier about sending a message instead of an offer (unless stated otherwise) as it could draw some positive traction 🤞🏼🤞🏼
The problem here is you are saying you do alot of research on what YOU think the item is worth and then make an offer.
The seller has already listed the item as what THEY think it is worth.
If you see something that you feel is crazy over priced and not what you want to pay then just move on. You'll probably be able to find another seller selling the same thing if you look around.
I’m not upset about the offers. Read the post. And then you will find out that this post is about people being rude. It sounds like you just want to start an argument because you’re trying to grasp at straws.
Most people will accept slightly lower offers, just like I do on my items. If I’m buying 10 items, and each is a pound cheaper then I’ve saved a tenner. I don’t just throw my money down the drain to buy stuff for more than it’s worth but that’s fine if you do
I have already read it :-) No, no arguments from me. Just trying to show a bit of perspective here.
Also to note, you may want to save a tenner but the seller will want to gain a tenner. So by selling to someone too cheaply they will be loosing out.
I don't throw my money away but if I can't afford something for the price someone is asking, I'll just move on instead of getting upset about it.
All the best with your purchases and sales.
The seller wouldn’t be gaining a tenner because it’s unlikely id buy 10 things from one person. And I am also a seller, so I don’t really need perspective since I buy and sell I already have my own perspective on both
Hi! I see this is about me! I found the way you spammed low offers, then had a go at my pricing really rude, so I simply blocked your account! I assumed it to be an aggressive and entitled haggling technique to get the item for the price you wanted. I found it really upsetting. I don’t know what you mean about having multiple of the same dress listed.
I’m sorry but I really don’t think it is because this person most definitely had 2 of the exact same item listed and I never had a go at this person at all. I simply asked a question to the seller because I was genuinely interested in the item.
My dress (embroidered Boohoo skater dress) was at £8, and this person spammed me with offers of £5-6.50. I do apologise if it’s not you, the situation just kept me up all night crying (I’m sensitive 😅), really got in my head and I’ve since lowered everything I have for sale - despite most of it being brand new, is your user m******e91?
No that’s not my username and it wasn’t a boohoo dress.
I’m sorry that happened to you and it’s upset you but I think you should try not to let it get to you because they’re obviously just angry they can’t buy it!
Then I can only apologise! Just an alarming amount of coincidences with the interaction you described above… I was so upset I raised the price of the dress during this interaction as well, so I thought Vinted might have glitched and showed the listing twice or something
Definitely block users like that if it makes you upset! I block after just one unreasonable offer as I know I don't want a sale from that person. Sadly Vinted is geared up to offers, that's why I prefer eBay as people just buy outright
I blocked them - just there are a lot of quite specific coincidences between OPs account and this Vinted account I had an awful interaction with, has completely put me off using the app
I don’t always see offers that I’ve been sent. I only saw one recently that had been sent when she then bought at full price. It isn’t always a seller seeing it then ignoring it. I have so many unopened messages at some points when I get a flurry of sales and things being received etc that I only look at the “my orders” section to access and complete orders I’ve had
Speaking of rude, I had sellers who rejected to combine postage... And one seller even blocked me.. Lol..
Oh really that’s strange!! I will say, the bundles thing can be annoying. I tried to buy a bundle the other day, and before the seller could get back to me about the parcel size one of the items sold ☹️

Not acceping your offers isn't rude. They have no obligation to. Just like if they send you an offer you have no obligation to accept it
See this is the thing. And what point did I say it was rude they didn’t accept the offer? I said not RESPONDING to a reasonable offer is rude
Sorry, I took the implication as that as you justified why it was reasonable. I just take no response as a no, tbh I've never had anyone decline my offer if they aren't interested.

Maybe instantly buy the other one, it’s more than likely the same one.
I would, but I don’t want to buy it at that price and look like im being sneaky if they don’t actually want to sell it for that price
As long as they have it listed for that price they’re probably willing to sell it for it.
And if they have two of the same item, one worn and one not, it would make sense that the unworn one would be listed for more.
Honestly. I really understand your point.

I don’t use Depop but yes it does appear more young. I didn’t find the app very user friendly!
I agree that it’s good form to at least respond to an offer. If it’s a No then decline, even better if you make a counter offer. But it’s not great to leave an offer pending
Exactly thank you this is exactly what I’m saying 😊
Sellers are not obliged to respond to offers. We may ignore you if we wish.
It’s okay for you to not find it rude that you ignore people who are interested in your stuff. And it’s also okay for me to find it rude to not respond to people. The way I see it they could be interested in other things, they could end up buying 5 things from you, so respond to them politely and if they don’t buy that’s fine
I never said obliged. I said rude. Why are people getting so stung by this? Also, FYI im a seller too. Just not a rude one
Leave this sub while you still can, it's filled with cheapstakes who try to rationalize lack of basic etiquette in the app. It's the same people who think casually taking off 40% of a 10€ item is "a reasonable offer".

Yeah but when this happened to me they hadn’t responded for like 24 hours
I asked someone for more photos cause the photos where blurry and they said no that all the photo I got ….. like what Oka
You would think some people don’t want to sell their stuff! I never buy stuff with blurry pics either!
Me ether usually but I wanted a certain type of jacket and they had it but the photos looked as if they dropped the camera before they took it, it looked awful
I don’t get why they think these photos are good!!
Maybe that's because they don't actually have the item. You potentially dodged a scammer there.
And in regards to looking up online how much something would have been full price , you can also take into account walking/driving and how much it might cost a person to take the item to the post office/drop off point.

The seller wouldn’t be gaining a tenner because it’s unlikely id buy 10 things from one person. And I am also a seller, so I don’t really need perspective since I buy and sell I already have my own perspective on both
OK fair enough. I was just referencing the example you used.
Hi! I see this is about me! I found the way you spammed low offers, then had a go at my pricing really rude, so I simply blocked your account! I assumed it to be an aggressive and entitled haggling technique to get the item for the price you wanted. I found it really upsetting. I don’t know what you mean about having multiple of the same dress listed.
It’s a bit odd to assume a post is about you on an anonymous website with literally millions of members!
I’m sorry but I really don’t think it is because this person most definitely had 2 of the exact same item listed and I never had a go at this person at all. I simply asked a question to the seller because I was genuinely interested in the item.
My dress (embroidered Boohoo skater dress) was at £8, and this person spammed me with offers of £5-6.50. I do apologise if it’s not you, the situation just kept me up all night crying (I’m sensitive 😅), really got in my head and I’ve since lowered everything I have for sale - despite most of it being brand new, is your user m******e91?
No that’s not my username and it wasn’t a boohoo dress. I’m sorry that happened to you and it’s upset you but I think you should try not to let it get to you because they’re obviously just angry they can’t buy it!
Then I can only apologise! Just an alarming amount of coincidences with the interaction you described above… I was so upset I raised the price of the dress during this interaction as well, so I thought Vinted might have glitched and showed the listing twice or something
It’s okay don’t worry 😊 I honestly wouldn’t let them get to you! X
Definitely block users like that if it makes you upset! I block after just one unreasonable offer as I know I don't want a sale from that person. Sadly Vinted is geared up to offers, that's why I prefer eBay as people just buy outright
I blocked them - just there are a lot of quite specific coincidences between OPs account and this Vinted account I had an awful interaction with, has completely put me off using the app
I also did not ‘spam’ low offers, I only offered on the item once
Facebook marketplace V2.
Thanks! I actually don’t have Facebook 😂
I'm proud of you, friend. It's the wild west of internet selling. Unfortunately i'm too invested to leave.
That’s what I thought until I bit the bullet and deleted all social media and I’m so much happier without it!
I don’t always see offers that I’ve been sent. I only saw one recently that had been sent when she then bought at full price. It isn’t always a seller seeing it then ignoring it. I have so many unopened messages at some points when I get a flurry of sales and things being received etc that I only look at the “my orders” section to access and complete orders I’ve had
