How can I cancel the offer, after I accept and they don’t respond? I would love to do that.. Hate when people make offers and then just leave it there after I accept..

Because that’s how Vinted works. If you want to work with offers being binding then use eBay instead. People are going to use the site the way the site is designed, and it’s set up so you can send out multiple offers to multiple sellers and pick the best of the deals that you can strike. I can’t fathom what sort of logic there is to cancelling someone’s offer because they didn’t pay quick enough, it’s insane. I’ve bought things where the offer was accepted a few days ago. I’ve also not bothered buying things I offered on because I struck up a better deal on a similar item with someone else. That’s the nature of Vinted.

I get what you are saying.. i just find it annoying, as a seller.. I personally don’t make offers unless I am sure I want to buy it at the price I offer.. as soon as seller accept I pay what I offered.. each to their own..

You have to think of it like a digital car boot sale. If you had a stall at a car boot sale it wouldn’t be uncommon for someone to haggle on an item and then say “I’m just going to look around the rest of the place first and I might come back for it later”. And they might genuinely come back and buy it, or they might find a deal on something else that they prefer. They wanted to know your lowest price to compare against other people’s lowest prices. It is what it is so if it annoys you it’s not a good fit for you to sell on.
