Vinted Buyers: Men vs. Women – The Battle of Hell ![]()
Vinted, this temple of second-hand consumerism where two distinct species cross paths: the « male » buyer, aka the Male, and the « female » buyer, sorry, I haven’t studied the rest yet. Two worlds, two logics, two radically opposite ways of being unbearable.
The Male Buyer: The Annoying Minimalist
- He knows exactly what he wants… but only if it’s free.
- He doesn’t read the description. « Is it L or M? » when it’s written three times in capital letters.
- His communication method? A single message: « Available? »
- He always negotiates as a matter of principle, even when the price is already ridiculous. « €10 instead of €15? Including shipping? »
- He takes three days to reply, then reappears to say « Sorry, I don’t need it anymore. »
- He buys something once a year, usually Adidas track pants or a vintage football t-shirt, and disappears.
- He doesn’t leave reviews. Ever. He doesn’t have time for that.
Objective: Find a rare gem, don’t pay an extra cent, and above all, « never express enthusiasm. »
The Female Buyer: The Queen of Shopping Drama
- She spends « three hours » asking existential questions: « How does it fit? », « Do you think it will suit me? », « Do you have a picture of you wearing it? »
- She negotiates as if her life depended on it. « Can you do it for €4.50 instead of €5? »
- She adds your item to her favorites, makes you think you’ll sell it… then disappears like a guy after a first date.
- She buys something, but at the moment of payment: « Actually, I’ve changed my mind… »

- Once received, she’ll nitpick: « The color is a bit different in natural light… »
- If she gives one star less on the review, it’s because « the package wasn’t very well wrapped. »

- Worst crime**: She harasses you for a tracking number… even though you’re not the postal service.
Objective: Buy a lot while giving herself a clear conscience (« it’s second-hand, it’s eco-friendly! »), and above all, favorite 17 items without ever buying them :zipper-mouth_face:
Conclusion: Who is worse?
The man is unbearable due to his coolness, his stinginess, and his absolute detachment. He buys little, badly, and without passion.
The woman is a mental torture. Between endless hesitations, extreme negotiations, and post-purchase criticism, she makes every transaction a psychological ordeal.
In short, no matter who buys, you, Vinted seller, always lose. ![]()
Good evening Clemzie!
