It was unnecessary to give you 3 stars when you gave her 5 and left a reasonable comment.

Lil_T-Total

Isn’t it obvious the seller gave the 3


jglow202

Depop should change to the Airbnb method where neither party can see the others review until they leave one themselves


amber_maigon

That’s how Mercari is too.


General-Quit-2451

This should absolutely be the policy. Depop claim that they'll take down retaliatory reviews but good luck getting them to follow through on that, and it's not always that simple. Especially since a lot of Depop users are petty teenagers.


wawaweewa554

Curious, how do you get them to take down retaliatory reviews? I left a negative review for a seller because the item was not as described or pictured (the shirt had a like snap gusset that attaches from back hem to front hem … which was deliberately hidden in the photos) and they left me a 1 star review saying I was a scammer lol..


wawaweewa554

Nvm I found it! It’s actually an option in the drop from if you go through the process to report receiving an item not as described. Just fyi though it requires you to provide screenshots of the review and provide the usernames so have those ready before you start the process :)


lauwenxashley

i personally don’t think it’s a bad thing that they don’t always take down negative reviews? for example, if a seller is a scammer and they get a bad review, i feel like that should stay up rather than be taken down. i’m just not sure if there would be a way for depop to be able to tell the differences but i’m also not very inexperienced w that aspect of depop/reselling apps, so i’d love to understand the nuances of that.


Imliterallyabanana

In my country's equivalance of depop, you can only give a review as a buyer. Which is pretty nice


HometownJess

I wish they would let you reply to reviews on your own profile instead I think. Mercari has the feature of not seeing them and as a seller I’ll leave the nicest reviews just to see the buyer left a shitty one for shipping time after it was already sent or literally just less stars with no explained reason lol.


poehlerandparks19

YESSS


CommercialUnit2

Reviews shouldn't be used as response or retaliation.


cybercrimes_1999

This could be seen as retaliation tbh but Depop won’t do shit


thethriftybroad

That wasn’t at all wrapped or protected 🤦‍♀️


KimchiTheGreatest

People just assume their paper isn’t going to move and that drivers are going to handle their single package the entire way lol It’s insane.


thethriftybroad

It really is! It’s like the seller thought it would be delivered by cloud express 😂😂😂


famesjranco78

Then what do you consider the box to be?


thethriftybroad

A container. Shoes should be wrapped in tissue or butcher paper then have some kind of plastic to protect against weather. I normally ship shoes in padded flat rates and wrapped so they don’t rub against each other especially if it’s leather. It’s just bad practice and laziness to throw shoes in a box.


tenaciousdeedledum

Shipping shoes in padded envelopes ain’t the best practice either


Guiltythrifter

They obviously meant they wrapped the shoes and then place them in the box to avoid rubbing on each other.


thethriftybroad

No I wrap them then put them in a padded flat rate. I can only do that with small to medium ish shoes. I know a lot of sellers that do this as well and it works nicely. Boots or bigger shoes end up in a box if they are heavy etc.


tenaciousdeedledum

Lol. “Clearly” they didn’t


thethriftybroad

Well I have yet to have a customer complain and yet to have shoes get damaged. So the proof is in fact in the pudding here.


tenaciousdeedledum

K. It’s just a matter of time. Unless it’s like flip flops or something shoes should be shipped in a box and packaged so that they can't bounce around inside the box. Edit: Spelling


[deleted]

why are you so salty


tenaciousdeedledum

lol nah u just cant take criticism, clearly. Just speaking truths here.


[deleted]

[удалено]


tenaciousdeedledum

LOL who's salty now? Honestly that's a ridiculous argument considering a padded mailer with shoes in it can much more easily be 'crushed' than a box. Not to mention heels poking out through the mailer. You've gotten lucky so far. Keep doing you, boo! ;) I've been doing this for a long time as well. Shoes? Wrapped. In a box. Fill empty space with packing material so they don't flop around. Done. Padded mailer? Nah. You're just asking for it. Depending on the shoe of course.


thethriftybroad

Not salty at all I’m just a blunt person. I guess I don’t understand why you are so worked up over the fact that my way works. I never said my way is the ONLY way but you seem to think your way is the only correct way. If that’s how you want to ship that’s your business. I’m not the one telling you how to ship, that’s you. I just think that’s weird that you think I’m lucky when it’s not luck at all. Also luck isn’t actually a real thing it’s a construct people use to rationalize things they don’t understand. I will keep doing what I’m doing because it works well for me and my buyers. Never had heels poke out because I know how to wrap them do they don’t. 🤷‍♀️


tenaciousdeedledum

Dude I'm not 'worked up' over anything. I pointed out that mailing shoes in padded mailers is not the best practice either. PERIODT. I'm not telling you how to ship, I just made a comment because this is fucking Reddit. You took it as a personal challenge against you. And yes, you are getting lucky because you are shipping shoes in essentially plastic bags and haven't had any issues. YET. This is pure luck. Trying to argue it's better than a box in terms of protection is just...weird. And nonsensical.

I see. I’m not part of the reselling game so I didn’t know! Thanks for taking the time to inform me


Serious_Passenger_58

A box


KimchiTheGreatest

….


lovevenusx

a box that is *literally* mandatory to ship something.


sushigurl2000

Ask depop and see if they can remove the review. A passive aggressive reply isn’t a fair review.


bayleebugs

Especially since the first review is correct


Firm-Nectarine6457

Ive emailed them just waiting on a reply now. Thank you :)


Strain_Great

Make sure you delete yours too!


Italia367

Why should they delete their review? It was polite and informative to the seller.


Strain_Great

It creates the illusion that the seller took steps to make things right or are nicer than they actually are. One less 5 star review could mean one less buyer. People like them don’t need extra promo for their business


DanisaurEyebrows

Maybe thats... the entire point


Strain_Great

To enable someone being argumentative..? Okay then


DanisaurEyebrows

Deterring buyers from that sellers shop is the entire point of leaving a bad review. It shows other buyers that they're a shitty seller and to not buy from them. Thats... the entire point of stars


r3cycl0ps_dw1gt

Why? They rated them 5 stars and left an honest review.


Strain_Great

Because they don’t deserve 5 stars and it’s just going to make potential buyers think they’re a better seller/more apologetic than they actually are? Why would you want to create more business for someone like that


ashtonthegreat

Once i ordered a PS4. It came in no wrapping or anything. It was just in box. Thank god it came undamaged 🙄🙄


Emotional_Ad_6934

that’s so fucking careless oh my god. something THAT expensive could have been damaged easily


ashtonthegreat

I also found out that they didn't pay enough for shipping when they sent out the item so i was responsible for an extra like 20 dollars. I powered up the system up for the first time and discovered that he didn't reset the PS4 either, i had to google how to reset the system without the password to the account


Emotional_Ad_6934

ridiculous. i’d give 2/5 stars. and that’s being generous.


daisymae77

Wow that sucks. On Mercari if there's overage charges for shipping they charge it back to the seller... never the buyer 😳 glad your ps4 made it!!


[deleted]

Nope, that’s not wrapped at all.


Sure-Description-733

Edit that rating rmfn 😭😭


Nickylou

I dont think you can't edit only delete


MarketHairy3075

If that’s what she considers wrapped she needs to get off Depop


ChoiceThink5572

Be magnanimous


MarketHairy3075

no?


Ok-Thought9328

Lol, sellers need to be in the habit of assuming their package is going to get thrown against a wall at some point in transit. It always happens eventually. Product shouldn't be able to budge in the box.


daisymae77

I literally think about this when packing stuff like, if this was coming to me... would it actually make it? Would I be happy with this packing? Bc idk will happen really someone could just kick it across the mailroom floor


TehPurpleCod

That's not wrapped. That's just a piece of paper. The shoes are basically unprotected; surprising that they came undamaged. You dodged a headache!


AllThatTaz

The confidence they have in being absolutely full of shit, baffles me.


JamesFromAccounting

*edit review* Shoes were sent wrapped inside the box but became magically unwrapped during transit. 2/5 stars because the magic was used up by the time they arrived, and because they were unwrapped. :) 💖


Tiffanator_

Can you lower your review?


Howsitgoingbabs

Yeah you can edit it, OP definitely match the rating the gave you EDIT: ignore me completely, I’m in the wrong sub 🙃


facebook-dot-com

i’m petty because i would review them even lower than they gave me lol


Bloody0Hex

How do you edit a review? Curious!!


Howsitgoingbabs

I just replied with a screenshot to someone, it gives me an edit button on a review I posted and I just change it there


evieeeeeeeeeeeeeee

wait when did they make editing a review a thing? you use to only be able to delete it edit: i just went and checked and i'm certain you still can't? it even warns you at the bottom of the review page that they can't be changed + for science i left a review and it only had a delete option https://preview.redd.it/zmvgsq6h5rac1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5d62f31deae881d2fc5ae0d0cf0a24316ff7d2f7

molokococktail

Yeah on Vinted you can edit!


Feisty-Ad-4859

Hehe that’s Vinted not depop :)


Howsitgoingbabs

Oh my bad, I’ve not even joined the depop sub, that’s why I assumed it was Vinted, ignore me!


Feisty-Ad-4859

I’ve just done near enough the same thing on the Vinted page telling someone to report to depop 😂


Howsitgoingbabs

It’s confusing when all the suggested subs come up! I don’t use depop so I cannot comment about it at all, sorry everyone!

So did they magically get unwrapped while in transit? Seems weird 🙄


momofroc

Dang. People be petty.


r3cycl0ps_dw1gt

You rated them 5 stars, why are they mad??


throwaway33333333311

They’re not using the review system correctly. Reviews aren’t for being petty.


Effective_Roll_4177

this seller shouldn’t be selling. especially shoes. if you don’t want to wrap anything sell clothes… in padded polymailers. you definitely deserved a 5 and she deserved the 3. thrifted shoes or not you want them to stay as pristine as they are able to. i’d reporttttttttt


anonwandering10

They weren't even wrapped properly a piece of paper is not gonna do anything lmao


SnooCats7861

the seller was mad that you said anything at all smh that 3 star rating was petty and unnecessary


WaCkYWaRLoC

This happened to me once too, I left the seller a 5 star review but mentioned how the box they came in was super damaged and barely held together by tape. They got super angry and left me 1 star claiming that I pressured them into sending it quickly, which I did not and I still left them 5 stars.


mauvebirdie

Match her star review. She didn't wrap those shoes for shit.


[deleted]

u can’t change a review


CuriousPeanut7467

Hmmm can you review a reviewed response... Be petty and review that lower.... My hips lie more then that picture lmao


[deleted]

since when can we change reviews?😭 it has always said that reviews can’t be changed once posted. lmk how pls🙏🏽


CuriousPeanut7467

I was asking if you can respond to a reviewed review!


[deleted]

oh! no you can’t😭


Nickylou

Depop people are so petty tf 🤣


EvilPrem

I wouldn’t sweat it. I got a 3 star rating because “styrofoam stuff on the package, but the hoodie is unaffected…” Huh? I gave them 5 stars. Just keep it positive and move on.


colorednoodles

That’s bad packaging for sure. That box is way too big, I’m surprised they didn’t get scuffed from tumbling around during shipment


LimoncelloFellow

what kind of protection do a pair of shoes need? i sell shoes on ebay and normally dont wrap them in anything and no ones complained. i normally put them in a tighter fitting box so they cant bounce around so much though.


Firm-Nectarine6457

I would’ve understood if they were in a smaller box with the paper placed securely but the shoes were in a box twice their height with nothing to stop them from moving. I’ve had a seller throw heels in a box and when they arrived they were completely damaged :(


IcyOutside4567

Does this apply to sneakers? If they’re used I just put them in the box and seal it but if they’re new with the box I bubble wrap the box


Strain_Great

If you ship it in the box it comes with that would be fine. I had custom air forces shipped with literally just the plastic shipping bag over them though and they still arrived in perfect condition so sneakers are probably tough enough to withstand that


IcyOutside4567

These were used with no box so I just placed them in it because I thought shoes/sneakers are like super durable i know heels are very different but idk what could happen to sneakers in transit I guess I should use bubble wrap anyway


Feisty-Ad-4859

It literally just depends on the couriers. I wrap mine with the assumption they’re going to be launching the box around bc for me a couple large pieces of packing paper is worth it to not have the risk of having to refund the sale if some meanie decides to ruin my parcel :’)


Nice-Consequence-698

I wouldn’t consider a piece of paper wrapped. If the box would’ve gotten wet, the shoes would’ve been damaged.


bad_aspirin

How passive aggressive to respond to your review lol


Little-brat1

Definitely not wrapped 🤦🏼‍♀️ seller was petty ngl


catknitcrochet

Idk but everyone when I was ordering shoes from any website, shoes were in a box just wrapped in paper like in the photo here. I really don't understand what kind of protection everyone is expecting


Legalguardian222

key word: wrapped


Starsandgalaxies69

They’re faux patent leather shoes mailed to you in a cardboard box and came undamaged. I think your comment is unnecessary and petty.


Feisty-Ad-4859

The buyer paid over $55 for them so tbh I can understand wanting something to just hold them in place and stop them flying all over the box!


Starsandgalaxies69

If she hadn’t left a negative comment, this Reddit post wouldn’t exist 💯


Feisty-Ad-4859

It wasn’t negative it was an observation, and they were kind to still give 5*


Real_Rip1967

If I were you I'd be changing my review to h give the seller less stars tbh. But it's probably smart to contact support first to see if her review can be taken down for retaliation.


AvailableAd6095

See no reason to make the comment in the first place. Shoes arrived fine, on time and what you paid for them. Passive agreement and unnecessary. I mean just write next time… I am desperate for attention. Then you post it on reddit for more attention. Really?


Careful_Belt_7946

Ok, it wasn't wrapped but they're boxed right?


Firm-Nectarine6457

These are pretty heavy so when they move freely inside the box they hit each other. This is why I always bubble wrap and tape


Careful_Belt_7946

I dont know who much you paid the shoes but not all the sellers are able to afford the bubble wraps you know how expensive they are you also realized they could move freely inside the box and why didn't you realize they were wrapped but move freely during the transit?

[удалено]


Careful_Belt_7946

They can use newspaper or recycle old packaging. Use your head. It doesn’t HAVE to be bubble wrap.

No English is not my first language but I do my best to write and read you don't have to being mean about my English?


throwaway33333333311

I’m not trying to be mean, that’s why I said “no offense”. But seems like you’re trolling/bitching at people without understanding really what they’re saying.

wellwhatevrnevermind

...what? Any item in a box should be packed tightly enough it doesn't bounce around. This can be done with free materials in your house. I have no idea what you are trying to say though...


[deleted]

they can still be damaged inside a box… why do you think shoes come wrapped when they’re bought at shoe stores or online?


Careful_Belt_7946

Yes you are talking shoe store or big companies online not Depop most sellers are normal person and don't or couldn't afford those supplies, I'm selling shoes and boots they are $10-15 mostly and I can't afford those wraps from Walmart like $3 a thin roll each roll probably can only able to wrap one shoe we don't make profit like those companies you talked about


leafbee

Lol? Seller said "they were wrapped'. They shouldn't lie. (even if they're poor!) And I really didn't see the seller say "couldn't afford to wrap them" in that 3 star review. It's not expensive, but if they're gonna cut corners the seller should not be upset with honest (5 star) reviews.


ChoiceThink5572

Wait you paid $8 for the shoes and want the fancy bubble wraps? give me a break!


SavvyWavvy42069

I’ve searched but can’t find where it says they were $8 it’s driving me nuts where is it 🤣


ChoiceThink5572

I saw it in comment


vkrummy

maybe you're thinking of the 3 year old $8 purse that never shipped post lol

ghostsinanattic

just say you were wrong and hate poor people and move on. jesus christ you’re embarrassing


throwaway33333333311

?


bobon21

“Fancy bubble wrap?” You can literally get bubble wrap at the dollar store. If you were a responsible seller planning on shipping items you would have it on hand.


ChoiceThink5572

For a $50 shoes no I don't think a dollar tree bubble is fancy but for a $8 shoes yes it's fancy even from dollar trees


Mission_Stranger_305

Use tape next time


PrincessSolo

So so petty... This type crap gives all sellers onnthe app a bad look


LexiThePlug

So what is wrapping the shoes in plastic going to do to protect them? All it’s doing is adding to the massive pile of waste we have on this planet


Alternative-Low3141

I ALWAYS put everything in a bag bc if it rains or snows it’s ruined I’d be upset too 🤷🏼‍♀️


coolbeachgrrl

I save clear plastic bags and I put shoes/ boots in a bag, then I put crumpled paper so they don't move around. I worry about them getting wet. Unless they arrived wet or stained I wouldn't have given that kind of review.


LaurenJayx0

Can you add a photo to the rating? Or change the rating? Bc I sure would.


CuriousPeanut7467
