Vinted condition standards mapped to the 1.0–10.0 scale
Vinted uses five condition options — New, Like new, Very good, Good, Satisfactory. Each maps to a band of the GradeThread 1.0–10.0 scale, so a grade tells you which Vinted option is honest and gives you evidence if it's questioned.
Vinted's Buyer Protection fee makes buyers expect the item to match the listing exactly. This page maps Vinted's condition options to the GradeThread scale with listing copy for each grade.

What triggers a return on Vinted?
Vinted buyers have 2 days after delivery to raise an issue under Buyer Protection when an item is significantly not as described — condition below the selected option or an undisclosed flaw. The payment stays held while the seller offers a refund or return, and Vinted support decides if they can't agree. Accurate condition and flaw photos prevent the hold from turning into a refund.
Listing copy for each grade
Choose the Vinted option that matches the grade band and describe the specific wear. Vinted is a manual, photo-led platform, so put the grade in the description and show every flaw.

Frequently asked
- What does 'Satisfactory' mean on Vinted?
- Vinted's 'Satisfactory' is its lowest listable condition for clothing — a well-used item with clear signs of wear and imperfections, roughly 1.0 to 4.9 on the GradeThread 1.0–10.0 scale. Describe the wear precisely and show it in photos, because buyers hold Vinted listings to the exact condition stated.
- How does Vinted Buyer Protection handle not-as-described items?
- Vinted holds the payment until the buyer confirms the order or 2 days pass after delivery. If the item is significantly not as described, the buyer can raise an issue in that window, the seller can offer a partial or full refund or ask for a return, and Vinted support decides if they can't agree. Accurate condition disclosure up front is what prevents that outcome.
