Vinted Overhauls Sizing and Auto-Relabels Listings, Prompting Seller Outcry

The company says the change aligns letter and UK numeric sizes, pointing members to in‑app guidance.

Overview

  • The update groups women’s letter sizes into UK ranges such as XS 4–6, S 8–10 and M 12–14, with kids’ categories also revised.
  • Vinted automatically applied the new rules to existing listings, which sellers say altered labels and disrupted search filters.
  • Users on TikTok and Reddit reported extreme mislabels, including size 10 items showing as 22, with some blaming AI interpretation of measurements.
  • Some sellers paused shops or began manually editing large inventories to restore accurate sizing and reduce buyer confusion.
  • Vinted defends the change as correcting inconsistent pairings, citing the old UK 16 being mapped to XXL, and urges members to review listings with size‑label photos.
