Members of the platform have expressed outrage after an update resulted in items being listed as the wrong size.
The popular resale platform has updated its measurement guidelines for female and kids' apparel failing to inform every member regarding the update.
Numerous buyers and vendors have taken to social media saying Vinted listings now show an altered size classification than originally posted due to the recalibration.
The company said the updated approach better aligns with similar services.
It has advised users to review their products and manually change the size if necessary, causing user dissatisfaction.
Earlier, the sizing featured numerical and alphabetical indicators, like S/8 or M/10.
The new system has a letter with a size spectrum like S/UK 8-10.
With some products, the size labels have been reassigned - like an L measurement was formerly size 12 but is now a UK 16-18.
One content creator, who creates plus-size fashion videos, explained the modification "makes transactions more difficult".
"Few clothing companies classify XL as 20-22," the way the service now categorizes.
A different member, located in Scotland, stated items she posted featuring size 14 markings were appearing on the platform as measurements 20-22.
"If anyone [who is] size 20-22 buys them they may become frustrated," she explained.
A different user, located in England, said she had been left angered because the modification necessitated personal updates the sizes on "every single listing".
"This situation is especially annoying, since I have chronic health issues and Vinted sales have been crucial following partial earnings loss," she said.
The service features exceeding 100 million users, with 18 million British users.
It has emerged as a preferred choice versus similar marketplaces including eBay and Depop.
This represents another occasion where an unanticipated change within the service has received backlash: last year, the platform withdrew an update concerning shipment methods after backlash from users.
