What does 'Satisfactory' mean on Vinted?

Vinted's 'Satisfactory' is its lowest listable condition — a used item with clear or significant wear, roughly 3.0–4.5 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 accepts the order; if the item isn't as described, the buyer can raise an issue and Vinted may refund from the held funds. Accurate condition disclosure up front is what prevents that outcome.

Condition standards

Vinted condition standards mapped to the 1.0–10.0 scale

Vinted uses five condition options — New with tags, New without tags, 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 raise an issue under Buyer Protection when an item isn't as described — condition below the selected option or an undisclosed flaw — and Vinted can refund from held funds. Accurate condition and flaw photos prevent the hold from turning into a refund.
