Anyone else spending ages comparing courier prices? Found something useful

Been selling on eBay for a while and got fed up checking Royal Mail, Evri, DPD etc one by one every time I needed to ship something.

Found parcelcompare.co.uk — you put in the parcel size and postcodes and it shows you prices from 20+ couriers side by side. Saved me about 40% on my last few shipments just by seeing options I wouldn't have checked.

Free to use, no sign-up needed. Just thought I'd share in case anyone else is losing money on shipping like I was.

Would love to hear if anyone else has found good ways to cut shipping costs?

I sold some New Balance Stone Island trainers on Vinted for £60, i bought them from Vinted for £60 and was selling them on for £60.
This was about 2 weeks ago, I now get a message from the seller saying.

Hi xxxxxx, I bought these trainers from you. I relisted them because they didn’t fit, but when they sold, Vinted sent them for verification and rejected them. I’ve now had them returned to me.

As they were sold to me as New Balance Stone island 10.5, this appears to mean they were not as described and possibly counterfeit. If i were to return to you would you be happy to refund? I can provide Vinted verification failure notice and photos. Hopefully we can resolve here rather than raise it with Vinted support. Many Thanks, Alex

Do I just say no and block him ?
Or accept them back.

They could very well be fakes, I didn’t ask the seller i bought them from and £60 for trainers that would cost £250, I am not naive, also did my buyer think he was getting real ones for £60.

My buyer could be lying and has swapped mine for fakes and trying to scam me.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

I was on a 100 views and 25 favourites on a cap and it randomly gets taken down, first of all the cap was authentic and I put proof of tags in the pictures yet how am I getting flagged but people who blatantly sell fakes like essentials tracksuits aren’t? Is there anything I can do fix this as I need these cap sold.

I’ve got the toggle for notifying a seller when I’ve liked their item off, and never had an issue with it - until today it seems, as I’ve been receiving unprompted messages from such sellers. Checked my settings and nothing’s changed so something is wrong. Anyone else experiencing anything similar?

I don’t like a seller being able to see that I’ve liked their item and further to that messaging me and clogging up my inbox. I’ll buy in my own time and if I decide I want the item. And not that I should have to justify why I’m annoyed, but this makes me worried that Vinted isn’t respecting my choices in the privacy settings regarding other aspects of my data that I’ve opted out of.

How do I fix this?

Bonsoir, j’aimerais faire ce message pour avoir des réponses, avis, et obtenir de l’aide.
Je viens tout juste d’être bloquée de la plateforme,
Je suis dessus depuis énormément longtemps, ces derniers-temps j’achetais beaucoup
J’ai des transactions encore en cours, de ventes mais aussi d’achats .. je suis un peu perturbée par cette nouvelle j’avoue que je ne sais pas quoi faire, j’ai directement fais un litige mais je suis angoissée au fait que cela ne mène à rien ..
J’ai toujours fais attention sur vinted, j’ai reçu un signalement il y a 4 jours sur le fait qu’une de mes annonces avait été supprimée pour cause de photos protégée, en effet j’avais pris une photo du modèle Zara pour revendre mon article.
J’avais fais un recours en demandant s’il était possible de remettre l’annonce sans l’annonce posant problème, sous forme de recours, je n’avais pas encore eu de réponse.
En parallèle j’ai été restreinte suite à ça 5jours sans pouvoir poster de nouveaux articles.
J’ai pu continuer mes colis, ainsi que d’en récupérer beaucoup, j’ai fais 2 litiges qui étaient en cours, un car la marque n’était pas celle annoncée et qui a été résolu.
Autre plus difficile ou une personne m’expliquer ne pas pouvoir prendre en charge les frais retours sur l’article même si elle était en tort car elle était en négatif sur son compte bancaire, elle m’envoyait même les preuves la dessus en devenant irritable et jouant un role de victime. Pour un article qui n’était juste pas correct comme sur l’annonce; je lui ai expliqué que s’il n’y avait pas d’entendes à l’amiable, on pouvait voir avec vinted de trancher.
j’ai donc fais un litige, en expliquant que l’article semblait être une contrefaçon, que l’étiquette n’était pas bonne etc. J’ai donné toutes les images et j’ai rajouté également une petite mise en garde sur le fait que partager des images de son compte bancaire à but de chantage émotionnel n’était peut être pas adapté.
Le litige était en cours et je me demande si ce n’est pas ça qui m’a fait sauter mon compte. Peut être la personne m’a signalé ?
Peut etre que vinted à conclu que le problème venait de moi ? Mais de la à bloquer mon compte, ce ne m’était jamais arrivé ..

J’en viens alors a vous demander si vous aviez déjà été dans le même cas que moi et si vous avez pu réussir à retrouver mon compte ..
j’espère vraiment que cela va s’arranger car cette application faisait vraiment parti de mon shopping et mes recherches quotidiennes afin de dénicher des bonnes choses ..

So I’m selling Nike court vision low for £30, I paid £60 for them last year they’re still £60 now. I wore them like twice and they have a few creases from shoes being stacked on them other than that they are basically new still stickers in the shoes.

So I bought this jacket from this girl in Germany yesterday. Today she writes that my chosen courier(GLS) is not possible because she lives on an island. And that only DHL is possible. This was not indicated on the post. Additionally she only had the 1 thing on her profile and 0 reviews and no profile picture. I took a chance because its a pretty nice jacket for a good price.

Edit for anybody that cares: The order was manually cancelled by Vinted after the seller deleted their profile. Guess they were trying to do a scam but didn't know I had already paid via Vinted. They deleted after I informed them of this and that Vinted has tracking on items.

A user bought a fairly high value item from me. Everything seemed okay with 700+ reviews and a 4.9 average. But since yesterday the user has two 1-star reviews saying "order not completed". Should I be worried? Could this user be hacked and the account is now used by someone else by any chance? Communication otherwise was very good.

Bonjour, mon compte a été suspendu il y a 3 jours, j’ai encore de nombreuses transactions en cours, dont des litiges
Un ou un article n’est juste pas conforme et donc j’aimerais le retourner mais comment vous pouvez le voir au vu de l’image je suis restreinte dans cette possibilité,
Et je me demande pareil pour un autre litige ou j’ai reçu de la vaisselle cassées …
Que faire ?
Avez vous déjà été dans la même situation ?
Si oui avez-vous pu trouver une solution ?
Je ne peux pas rester les bras croisées en attendant que ça se valide automatiquement ce serais tellement injuste ! :(

Has anybody had this issue before? I’ve raised the issue with Vinted but it’s been days without a response. Inpost keep telling me to stay in touch with Vinted while they investigate.

I contacted the seller and they’ve said they have had no contact from their end about it.
