Vinted customers furious as app down for thousands of users

Vinted users have been left furious after the service went down, with many left unable to access the app or send parcels.

The online marketplace is a popular platform for buying, selling and exchanging new or second-hand items, including clothing, shoes and accessories.

As of June last year, it had more than 80 million registered members worldwide.

However, just before midday today (Monday 29 April), thousands of users complained that they were unable to access their account after the service suddenly went down.

"Website currently unavailable," a message tells users, while outage site DownDetector confirmed there had been more than 3,000 reports of outages by around 12.30pm.

Sharing their frustration, one person tweeted: "Vinted is down, oh I’m mad."

Someone else fumed: "F**k sake Vinted, I was gonna send off a bunch of items today and you're f**king down."

A third wrote: "Vinted down. Literally just walked to shops to send everything off and can’t get a label."

Another joked: "Why is Vinted down I was ready to make some unnecessary purchases."

A spokesperson for Vinted told Tyla in a statement: "Earlier today, there was a temporary technical incident, which was fixed as soon as the team became aware of it."
