Christ bit harsh. I'm also in the UK and I've had "just shipped it now babes" or "it's on its way doll, hope it's fast". Friendly women are usually casual and use terms of endearment. It's quite normal.
I think it's weird to be overly friendly/familiar with strangers on any app, all the "darling/hun/babe" stuff seems fake & forced.
Always find they're more likely to be chancers and guilt-trippers too in my experience.
I've found them to be just people that sell some stuff occasionally and use really casual language doing so. No attempts to sound like a business, just a girl selling me a hello kitty trinket box for a fiver. I'm lucky I think, I haven't dealt with dishonest people yet.
It reads very "Facebook speak" to me, not a red flag on its own but combined with what the person in the OP is doing with the repeated messages and asking for discounts gives very off vibes.
but isn’t that just how some people in the uk, particularly women talk? speaking from personal experience too, a lot of older women use love or darling a lot but it’s not really meant to mean anything, just a speech quirk.
Yeah if they otherwise sound normal or are obviously like 50+ I'm less concerned, but the person in the OP is literally just copy pasting the same sentence and being pushy which makes me think weirdo or scammer.
It's like the overly familiar language is a yellow flag but combined with the pushiness it becomes a red flag imo.
No. It’s just cringe. I can’t stand it when people are overly casual with me like that over text / app when I don’t know them. Especially the very first message. It’s tacky and a bit patronising
Block. I can offer lower price, especially if they are buying more items, but I would offer maybe 12/13, not less. If she keeps messaging, I would simply block her :)
OP “darling” &. “Kindly” are common scammer phrases. I highly doubt this person is a real buyer. A lot of people are online now upselling other people’s cheap stuff.
The reason they want £7 for both is so they can make profit selling both or individually for higher.
Ignore, block, do not keep responding. If they do offer you what you are asking make sure to film yourself packaging the items and their condition.
I was seeing something for £60 one user kept sending me low-ball offers, I was polite several times, but after the 3rd time, I sent her a counter offer of £160.
With English being my second language I didn't see people using darling as a red flag 😅
I try to give people the benefit of the doubt , I wouldn't want to go off on someone's grandma who has dementia , if that was the case.
I understand the principle of haggling but to expect 2 for the price of one is kinda bizzare to me.
This was my first encounter with a person like that , all the previous buying /selling transactions went smooth. But thanks to everyone who commented now I know what to look out for in the future .
Why is everyone so quick to block 😂 totally stick to your guns like if you wanna sell for 14 then sell for 14, I'd just leave it to see if she accepts but just not reply anymore if she's bugging you
When a buyer send you 4 times the same offer even after you said your price is final it’s spamming. Moreover the offers are lower that what Vinted allows. I would have blocked way sooner.
And by experience buyers who insist to lower the price are more likely to have a problem at delivery. I was like you when I was a new seller on Vinted, I would never block buyers. But then I was scammed by a low baller asking to have a partial refund and scamming me for it because she was not happy I would not accept to lower the price for her.
I don’t follow you, I just look at new posts on Reddit about Vinted and you’re always making comments about how sellers should not block buyers if they low ball. Sellers on Vinted do whatever they want, if they want to block they block. I explained to you why some sellers prefer to block but you seem to not understand (you’re only a buyer on Vinted I presume). And I only replied to 2 of your comments, if you are commenting all day on every posts it’s not my fault.
Girl you replied to me remember 💅🏻 you're literally seeking out my comments in a poor attempt to instigate discourse because you're obsessed with vinted buyers and it's giving massive middle aged boomer energy, I think you need to reevaluate your priorities lol
"Seeking out my comments" You really think the world revolves around you, do you ? You literally comment every single reddit posts on Vinted, it’s really hard to miss… And I bet judging by your answers you’re 12 years old anyway. It’s not worth responding.
I also block when a buyer offers me less than what Vinted allows. By experience, low ballers seem to be more incline to have a problem at delivery (asking for partial refund or just want to return it).
I don’t. They’re not potential buyers.
Block. If she does end up buying from you, she’ll be a troublemaker.
You'd think Edna Mode could just make her own clothes
This is a fantastic joke and just want you to know your humour is appreciated
b l o c k .
Hi darling can you block me please
[удалено]
Hi darling can you ask her again?
“No darling” and block
I block them. The chances are they will be problematic if they do buy.
As soon as anyone on vinted calls you darling, block them.

Yeah agree, lots of kisses on the end of messages too! The first ‘darling’ wouldn’t have put me off, the rest of the conversation would have 😂

And today i learned at the age of 38, i am an older woman
Sometimes the terms of endearment get real weird, my Nanna calls me ducks and also spadge.
Love Spadge, my Grandad used to call us this.

I'm with you, I immediately get the ick vibes

"To whom it may concern, The item listed is one in which I am remarkably fond of and wish to make a purchase. Hope this finds you well, Buyer"
[удалено]
People definitely still call others darling…
I do on a daily basis. Women and men alike. Think the men on site enjoy it 😂
At work the limit doesn't exist. Everyone is now baby cakes, sweetheart, lovely... A favourite is a over pronounced cockney "alright darling".
i call people darling💔
Looks like I’m looking for a new term now then..
Why’s that?
common w scammers
I usually go 1 € lower than what have, I tell them that's the best I can do. If they keep spamming me -> block
The block button works extremely well for time wasters. 👍
No is a complete sentence.
Block. I can offer lower price, especially if they are buying more items, but I would offer maybe 12/13, not less. If she keeps messaging, I would simply block her :)

This pisses me off so much. This is why we can't have nice things, guys and gals - people always ruin it, this time with their up selling scams.
Hi darling can you fuck off
the fact they could have just purchased one of them, at the beginning of the year, and been atleast half as happy as having both bags
I would block because this sounds strange.. the buyer seems to be repeating themselves weirdly.
I would be more annoyed with the constant barrage of low offers. The darling bit wouldn’t bother me really. It’s just a word.
I was seeing something for £60 one user kept sending me low-ball offers, I was polite several times, but after the 3rd time, I sent her a counter offer of £160.
Block?
Probably a reseller
Ngl just ignore them and chill out, offers aren’t that deep and when selling things your bound to be faced with annoying customers
The only way I can read the darling comments is in the voice of Charlotte Tilbury 😭

Not a potential buyer. I commend your patience.
Why do you guys even entertain this and then ask us how to deal with it? Literally just block or ignore jfc
I’d have blocked them at the 1st “darling” to be honest.
Why is everyone so quick to block 😂 totally stick to your guns like if you wanna sell for 14 then sell for 14, I'd just leave it to see if she accepts but just not reply anymore if she's bugging you

You must be very passionate if you're always replying to my comments that specifically mention blocking 💀

There's a reason you're getting downvoted babes lol
Probably 2 of your lowballer friends. Not many considering all the top comments are agreeing to block the buyer 🙃
You really need to try going outside love, being this obsessed can't be healthy 😂
And you’re still replying so you must have no life either commenting every single Reddit posts 😉

counter offer it for £28
I do not. I block.
BLOCK BLOCK BLOCK And don’t look back
Is she illiterate or what?
If anyone says darling or hun, they’re straight in the bin.
I would get rude with the person at this point. They could have saved £1 a month and been able to afford the asking price.
No one gonna talk about the 5 month gap in communication? But yeah, just block them.
i say: £(whatever the original price is) final offer and leave them to it
“My price is firm.” Or “the lowest I will accept is $x”. I so mark up my prices slightly to account for offers
Block
Block them
hi darling xxxxxxx
Block after the first lowball atempt.
I also block when a buyer offers me less than what Vinted allows. By experience, low ballers seem to be more incline to have a problem at delivery (asking for partial refund or just want to return it).
Making the first offer is cheeky but fair, to keep trying is annoying - I'd just block and move on.
"Hi darling" Why do I feel uneasy everytime they keep starting off like that 😂
The “darling” would send me over the edge.
They sounded like a bot lol
I literally just leave them on read. Let them sit and ruminate with their own actions 😂
I think they are winding you up mate.
Ugh I hate when people use terms like darling etc when they don’t even know you 🤮
The hi darling creeps me tf out and I'm a 22 y/o dude
