Woman fumes after 'cheeky' Vinted buyer makes ridiculous offer on her 'really nice' dress

Vinted is a fab spot for flogging your old gear to rake in some quick cash before you know it, you're sitting pretty with over £100 ready to to your bank.

It's also the perfect haunt to snag those kicks you missed out on initially, or that party frock you were just about to snap up and loads of items are spanking new with tags still on.

But at times, Vinted can turn into a bit of a headache, especially when buyers go savage with their lowball offers, as @charli0191 discovered after listing a dress for a paltry £3 only to get an even stingier bid. Charli vented about slapping a "really nice" she'd "never even worn" on Vinted for £3, thinking "someone will buy it".

She raged: "Somebody just had the cheek to offer me £2.60 for this dress. It's a floaty dress with a belt, like a wedding-style dress, like pleated at the bottom, and it's £3. It's a poxy £3."

Charli mentioned she "declined it straightaway", peeved by the nerve, and took to TikTok to demand folks "make it make sense" because the logic of offering 40p less was beyond her.

"To have the cheek to even offer 40p less when it's only £3 to start with", she seethed, adding that such antics on the platform "wind her up".

In the comments, someone chimed in with similar vexations, remarking: "You can put things on for £1.50 and you bet someone will offer £1.00".

One user jumped to the defense of the low bidder, explaining: "I nearly always offer lower! I resent paying the protection fee especially if a problem it ends up costing postage to send it back."

Another backed the seller's stance, arguing: "Vinted recommend that as an offer I think it's just 10 or 20%. I don't think it was an unreasonable request? If it's only 40p less why is that too much for you to accept? It works both ways."

A third TikTok fan admitted: "I get it's annoying and I know buyers protection isn't the seller's issue but sometimes I will offer it so with buyers protection it actually comes to £3 . Also, I'm broke so I send offers a tad lower so I can afford it with postage and buyers protection but I understand if my offer is rejected".

Meanwhile, one lady revealed she turned down a seemingly cheeky offer, recalling: "I had something up for £3, someone offered me £2.99? why the 1p less. I know it's only a penny but I declined".
