Vinted rolls out major update to app which has sellers saying 'they can't be serious'

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Vinted has made a major change to the way people buy and sell items, and sellers are not happy. The online selling platform has dominated the online marketplace world in recent years, even overtaking its biggest rival Depop.

Unlike eBay, users can list and sell items of clothing for free, without having to pay a fee, which has helped to boost its popularity.

Sellers can choose whatever price they want for each listing, but Vinted has a handy feature where buyers can suggest an offer price to the buyer for an individual item.

The seller can choose to accept, deny, or respond with a counter offer. Once the seller accepts or offers a different price, they then have to wait to see if the buyer goes through with the purchase.
