🔗 Share this article The second-hand marketplace Members Share Frustration About Sizing Changes Members of the platform have expressed outrage following a change that caused listings displaying inaccurate size information. The second-hand shopping app has altered its size classifications for female and kids' apparel without notifying all users about the change. Social Media Reaction Numerous buyers and vendors are expressing on platforms stating that platform listings now display a modified sizing category versus the original listing as a result of the reclassification. The company said the updated approach better aligns with similar services. The platform has recommended to examine their items and adjust the sizing manually where appropriate, which has left users frustrated. Sizing System Changes Previously, the sizes had both a single numeric size and a letter, for instance S/8 or M/10. The revised method features a letter with a size spectrum such as S/UK 8-10. For certain items, the sizing has been recategorised - like an L measurement was previously a 12 but is now a UK 16-18. User Stories A fashion influencer, who creates plus-size fashion videos, stated the update "complicates both purchasing and selling". "Rarely do manufacturers list XL as sizes 20-22," as the platform currently indicates. Another user, based in Glasgow, stated items she posted featuring size 14 markings were displaying on the service as larger sizing 20-22. "Should someone sized 20-22 purchase these they're going to be very disappointed," she stated. Manual Updates Charlotte Lunn, based in Derby, explained she became annoyed by the change as she had to manually change the measurements for "each individual item". "This situation is especially annoying, because of my ongoing medical condition and platform income has been essential following partial earnings loss," she said. Marketplace Information The platform boasts over 100 million shoppers, with 18 million British users. It has emerged as a preferred choice compared to resale services such as eBay and Depop. This represents another occasion that an unexpected update on the platform has faced criticism: earlier, the service retracted a modification concerning shipment methods following member complaints.
