Shoppers are voicing their frustration due to a modification that led to listings displaying inaccurate size information.
The popular resale platform has altered its size classifications for women's and children's clothes but did not contact every member regarding the update.
Many shoppers and sellers have taken to social media claiming that product pages now present a modified sizing category than originally posted due to the recalibration.
Vinted explained the revised method more closely matches comparable marketplaces.
They have suggested members to examine their items and update the measurements by hand when needed, which has left users frustrated.
Before the change, the measurements included a single numeric size and a letter, for instance S/8 or M/10.
The new system has a letter and a range like S/UK 8-10.
For certain items, the measurements have been reclassified - for example a size L was formerly size 12 but now shows as UK 16-18.
Frankie Bridger, who makes TikTok content about plus-size fashion, stated the update "complicates both purchasing and selling".
"Few clothing companies classify XL as 20-22," which is what Vinted now does.
Another user, based in Glasgow, stated items she posted on Vinted with size 14 labels were showing in the marketplace as measurements 20-22.
"If buyers measuring 20-22 acquire them they're going to be very disappointed," she explained.
Charlotte Lunn, located in England, explained she became annoyed by the change as she had to manually change the sizes on "every single listing".
"For me this is particularly frustrating, as I'm chronically ill and selling on Vinted has been paramount after experiencing income reduction," she said.
The service features exceeding 100 million shoppers, with 18 million British users.
It has emerged as a preferred choice versus similar marketplaces including eBay and Depop.
This isn't the first time when a surprising modification within the service has received backlash: last year, Vinted reversed a change regarding delivery choices due to shopper criticism.
