Vinted Overhauls Size Labels, Triggering Backlash From Sellers

Vinted says the new ranges align sizes across brands, with details sent to UK members.

Overview

  • Women's and children's sizing on Vinted now uses grouped UK numeric ranges in place of letters, such as XS 4–6, S 8–10 and M 12–14.
  • The change was applied to existing listings, prompting complaints that items now appear under different sizes than sellers originally selected.
  • Users reported search and filtering mismatches, with some saying they must edit hundreds of listings or pause shops using holiday mode.
  • Several sellers cited incorrect relabelling, claiming automated reads of measurements produced much larger sizes than intended.
  • Vinted confirmed the update aims to standardise sizing across international brands and directed members to in‑app messages and its Help Centre for guidance.
