The problem appeared to peak at 8:50am with over 3,000 customers reporting issues with the app.
Some 83% of customers said they could not use the app, with many taking to X, formally Twitter to raise the issue.
One user said: “Anyone else’s Vinted not working?? I’ve got parcels to post.”
While another said: “Why is Vinted down when I told the buyers I’d send their parcel this morning
The Sun has approached Vinted for comment.
Michael Foote, editor-in-chief of financial comparison site, Quotegoat.com said: “Vinted being down is more than just an inconvenience – it’s a financial headache for countless users.
“For sellers, especially those who rely on the platform for vital income, this downtime is incredibly frustrating. “
“Payments for recent sales are delayed, and sellers can’t list new items, causing a real impact on their income streams.
“For many, this isn’t just a hobby; it’s a crucial side hustle that supports their financial wellbeing.”
He added: This is bad news for buyers, too. With Vinted offline, those who depend on it to find affordable second-hand items are forced to look elsewhere – often at higher prices.
“Meanwhile, customers with ongoing disputes or issues have been left hanging. “
Vinted first launche in the UK in 2014, but only really became a household name during the pandemic.
It has around 16million users in the UK and it is completely free to sign up for.
