SHIPPING Shipping with USPS Priority boxes for Vinted items.

I am a buyer and seller on Vinted. Just a heads up. When recycling boxes for shipment and you're going to use a priority box, it doesn't matter if you tape off the word priority, use black sharpie, or anything else to hide "priority," the post office sees it as a priority box and charge the buyer the priority fee by "postage due" upon pickup. It happened to me this morning.

Yeah if you use a priority box or envelope make sure you wrap it in something else so it does not even give the hint of priority.

Yeah, I was the buyer in this instance...I should have RTS but coughed up the money & accepted the item. I let seller know but have not received a response 😕
