Trendsales to close in october, migrating users to Vinted

Trendsales, a clothing sales portal that has served as a marketplace for Danes to buy and sell used clothes for 20 years, is set to close on October 10, reports Finans. This move follows the acquisition of Trendsales by Lithuanian competitor Vinted in March. Trendsales’ current management aims to provide the best possible experience for its members and suggests that with more buyers on a platform, sellers have an easier time making sales. Mads Mathiesen, Trendsales CEO, has indicated this as a benefit for the sellers to transition to Vinted, which operates in 21 European markets and is now Europe’s largest second-hand marketplace for clothes and shoes. After the take-over, all Danish employees were let go; however, Danish customers can still anticipate support from Danish-speaking staff after moving to Vinted. Vinted entered the Danish market in September of the previous year.
