If the Vinted platform is often singled out for its many scams and other protections sometimes deemed insufficient for sellers/buyers, the platform remains a popular place for many Internet users to sort through their wardrobes… but not only! Indeed, Vinted has also been used for a long time to resell video games, electronic equipment, records, etc. So, after months of waiting, the platform has finally decided! ) to modernize its interface.

A real “Electronics” section finally on Vinted

Indeed, if it was originally designed as a large clothing resale platform, Vinted quickly diversified its store, opening it to other products. However, since these were not listed as such, it was sometimes very complicated to get your hands on the precious object you were looking for.

Recently, Vinted has therefore decided to open a new tab, simply called “Electronics”. It is this latter which will now be responsible for grouping together numerous products such as e-readers, audio players , accessories for virtual reality, connected objects and even consoles and video games.

For Vinted, it is a question of clarifying its offer, and allowing the category to benefit from better visibility, particularly in the face of many competitors, Leboncoin in the lead. At present, however, the offer listed in this new section remains a little confused, with sellers having to reclassify their products for sale over the coming weeks.

This new section also includes two other new features. In addition to electronics, Vinted also wants to make a place for itself in the luxury goods segment60~/em>“. For this, the platform has set up another category, called “Creator Articles“, which allows buyers to have certain coins authenticated, for better security and to avoid (as much as possible) fake coins.
