Frequently asked questions
Who pays for Vinted Buyer Protection?
The buyer, at checkout. The seller doesn't bear the cost.
How long do I have to report a problem?
The report must be made before confirming the order, generally within 2 days of delivery.
Does it cover a sizing mistake?
No, if the listing gave accurate measurements. It covers significant differences between the item received and the listing.
Is the seller charged in case of a refund?
Only when their responsibility is established, for example an item not as described or never shipped.
