Shoppers are voicing their frustration after an update resulted in products showing incorrect sizing.
The second-hand shopping app has altered its measurement guidelines for women's and children's clothes failing to inform all shoppers about the modification.
Countless users and merchants are posting online stating that platform listings now display an altered size classification than originally posted because of the remapping.
The platform stated the new system was more in line with similar services.
They have suggested members to check their listings and adjust the sizing manually if necessary, resulting in member annoyance.
Before the change, the sizing featured a single numeric size and a letter, like S/8 or M/10.
The new system has a letter and a range for example S/UK 8-10.
For certain items, the size labels have been reassigned - like an L measurement used to be a 12 but now shows as UK 16-18.
One content creator, who makes TikTok content about plus-size fashion, explained the modification "makes transactions more difficult".
"Rarely do manufacturers list XL as sizes 20-22," which is what Vinted now does.
A different member, from Glasgow, said garments she listed on Vinted with size 14 labels were displaying on the service as measurements 20-22.
"If anyone [who is] size 20-22 buys them they're going to be very disappointed," she explained.
Charlotte Lunn, from Derby, said she had been left angered due to the update requiring manual adjustment the sizing for "all her products".
"Personally, this is quite irritating, since I have chronic health issues and Vinted sales have been crucial following partial earnings loss," she stated.
The platform boasts over 100 million shoppers, with 18 million British users.
It has proved a popular alternative compared to resale services such as eBay and Depop.
This represents another occasion that an unexpected update within the service has received backlash: earlier, the service retracted a modification to its shipping options due to shopper criticism.
