Vinted’s Buyer’s Protection is a scam.
If an item arrives destroyed, they claim to be “investigating” it for a month, then blame you for not replying to some request that included no way to actually reply.
I’ve had way better experiences with eBay, Catawiki, Etsy, etc.

25 years ago, I took $4K out of my 401k to pay for studio time for this album.
We had to hurry, and we ran out of money before we could do it right.
Now it’s been remastered, and we hope you enjoy.
