Woman buys a $15 dress on Vinted but won’t provide her address. Then she allegedly claims the seller only sent an offensive note instead of the gown

Rockelle Sebor (@rockellesebor), a Vinted seller, listed a $20 prom dress for sale. When a woman from the site offered to buy it for $15, Sebor accepted. Despite their initially smooth transaction, she alleged that the woman flipped on her and accused her of failing to ship the dress.

When Sebor, the seller, received a $15 offer from another woman on Vinted, she accepted. Based on the screenshot of their conversation, which Sebor posted on TikTok, the buyer said she could buy the item right away. Sebor thought the arrangement was perfect and said she would ship the item, and she did.

Then the woman chatted Sebor again, asking whether she had already sent the address. The buyer claimed she had entered the wrong address and said she could repurchase the item and just needed to change the address. The woman kept messaging Sebor about the issue, and she explained that she was working at the time. Sebor didn’t reply immediately, and the woman wrote that if she couldn’t receive the parcel, she would have to mark it as missing.

When Sebor finally saw the messages, she reassured the buyer, saying she would contact the post office and change the item’s label. She wasn’t trying to promise a package that wouldn’t be delivered, unlike this Florida woman, who alleged she was scammed out of a $75 PR package that never arrived. So Sebor immediately asked the woman for her address to try to change it. However, the woman allegedly replied that she didn’t feel comfortable disclosing her address. Instead, the woman asked Sebor to relist the item so she could repurchase it.

Things escalated over a $15 Vinted dress

Sebor said the woman sent her screenshots of the Vinted policy, which allegedly encourages buyers not to share their address. However, sellers can see personal details of buyers, including their delivery address when it’s printed out on the package label. Nevertheless, Sebor explained that she had already shipped the dress and couldn’t relist it for purchase.

The woman allegedly asked to cancel, and Sebor said no. Sebor claimed that the item was already on its way to the woman’s address. With no other option, the buyer told Sebor she would contact Vinted support and threatened to leave a bad review. Sebor wasn’t threatened and said that she hoped Vinted could help the buyer. She showed a photo of the package in a brown bag with the shipping label.

Regardless, Sebor received a complaint about her package. The complaint alleged, “The seller was completely rude to me, and the package came with literally nothing but a note that is offensive and horrible.” The handwritten note, which the buyer allegedly found in the place of the package, was filled with expletives.

It reads, “Listen here, you stupid b****. I did not want you to cancel the order for the dress. I don’t give a f*** if you changed your mind or some s***. Now, you get nothing, you f****** idiot! Kiss my a**. Vinted won’t give you a refund, you b****.” Sebor denied that the note came from her.

“First off, I have way better handwriting than that!” she clarified. Despite the bitter encounter, Sebor’s TikTok update had the best possible outcome. Although the buyer still denied receiving the dress, she asked Sebor to take the video down because of their misunderstanding. She said she was a minor, and Sebor replied by posting Vinted’s terms and conditions, stating that only those 18 or older can use the app. Sebor didn’t take the video down, but the buyer released the payment and even left her a five-star review. But Vinted isn’t the only platform where sellers get complaints about customers. A woman from Dallas alleged that her buyer tried to scam her by requesting a refund for heavily used shoes.
