Vinted side with scammers!!! You're not safe when selling!!
I have 100% 5 star feedback as a casual seller on vinted and for the first time I have now been scammed by a buyer and Vinted not only closed the case in UNDER 24 hours in the scammer's favour but ler the scammer keep the item FOR FREE and that's all despite me having not had a fair chance to win the dispute! Vinted didn't give me the option to offer just a partial refund AND vinted IGNORED my photographic evidence that the item was packaged safely! (Scammer claimed it was packaged badly!) Not only that but I said to the scammer that if he wanted a refund he has to send me back the item - HE REFUSED! Logically, if a person is truly unhappy with a purchase and wants a refund would you not be happy to return the item?! Vinted CS should have read our conversation and seen that! It only takes a bit of common sense to realize the guy was a scammer! So what did vinted do? Closed the dispute in the scammer's favour, gave him a full refund, let him keep the item. I got no money for the sale and no compensation for my item AND did not have a chance to just offering a partial in the first place! When I'd clicked to 'Accept return' it had a pop up warning saying i should wait for the tracking number before accepting. That's why I did not click it! So I didn't have option to partial refund, if I had accepted he'd have gotten a full refund immediately without me getting my item back, he refused to send it back also and vinted less than 24 hours closed the dispute in scammer's favour and I lost my items and money! I had sent the photographic evidence to vinted of the package (as i had taken photographic evidence) VINTED IGNORED ME! Someone tell me how this is fair?! We as a seller can't even appeal! I looked everywhere for how to do that and couldn't find a way! I messaged vinted and they gaslit me saying my packing was bad and their hands are tied! (Gaslighting becsuse I sent PROOF the packaging was excellent!)! Sellers are not safe when selling on vinted. We dont have rights, cs don't care if we have proof that the person is scamming us, scammers win on there! Disgusting! Might have to seek legal advice. I have more than enough evidence and I need my money that i'm owed!
