      I had this myself , luckily I managed to get my money back .
      I used reverse google image search and nothing came up.
      Luckily a family member works for the delivery company and spotted it early and gave me evidence .
      Transaction was stopped and the seller was blocked off the site but I know they can just open another account .
      Just waiting on my refund to come through .

    Working in the banking industry you see so many people trying to claim against these sorts of scams it’s so hard to get your money back

    Good to know Paul - thanks for this video. I’ve had my eye on a few Vinted items that seem too good to be true (one being a complete Fortress of Fangs playset). Perhaps because they are!

      Glad to help! I actually think that one may of been ine I found also! Watch out, don't let it put you off tho, some people will be genuinely selling.

    2 days?! So the entirety of vintage is a scam then. A 2 day window is pathetic. Great video 🙌🙌 Thank you.

    • @toyscavenger

      2 days! It's crazy, imagine you are just too busy to sort it all out or some other reason you don't see the goods for 2 days. Its crazy! Thanks for watching

    What if the user has a normal name with some numbers behind and the google reverse image doesn't work? Should I buy it?

      oh yeah of course, eBay is a tough place full of scammers, I've been targeted a few times since going full time, but luckily not lost anything. should do a video on it really, thanks for watching!

      @@toyscavenger no probs. Thanks for the information. 2 days is barely anything when it comes to compensation timescales. 2 weeks more reasonable

    Make sure that you transfer your money in each transaction. Vinted is not transferring money for many Vinted Members and they block accounts while they owe money. If want to use them transfer you money immediately. I’m in a battle at the moment to try to get my 1200 euros and I know someone else being blocked out of their account and it has over 2000 euros on it. Be Warned.
