I'm currently in the process of trying to set up a new account after I got spooked when I made my first purchase. I was worried that having the account linked to my number might make my account come up in someone's "people you may know" or "find my friends" or whatever - but I don't think that's even a feature on the site/app.
I was worried cos I'd have feedback from women and it would raise eyebrows - what was I buying?? It was enough to spook me and i deleted my account.
Once I finally get one of these online SMS receiver things to work I'll have an account with zero ties to me other than payment (card/credit card) but vinted the company won't give a fuck who's buying what plus that info is covered by GDPR etc so they can't just dish it out.
When you buy you you need to see what options the seller has made available, with most you can select an inpost locker (which are usually on petrol stations). The seller gets a label which they stick on the parcel then they send it by putting it in a locker themselves. The inpost stickers dont have anything on but just to be sure I put bullshit info in and when I got the shoes the label didnt have anything on it related to me.
I waited a couple of days then I got an email saying it was delivered, and you go scan a QR and the locker pops open and you get that moment of sheer delight when you put your hands on the parcel and feel the delights inside
If you select one of the other options like delivery to pickup point (i.e delivery to a shop for pickup) etc then they will have to print your name and possibly address on the label as this is needed for the store to validate its your parcel when you collect it. If you use fake details then unless you got ID in that name/address you won't be getting it so inpost locker is your best bet.
Truth be told most of these girls don't give a shit they just want to sell their stuff, but I don't want any comebacks and it definitely makes it more exciting to sneak about. Some of the women you can buy from on there are just out of this world and you'd never get a chance to fuck their shoes in normal day-to-day operations unless you were incredibly lucky, and yet here they are actively trying to get you to take them once they're all worn out.
