A customer was left horrified when the second-hand trainers they purchased online arrived covered in ‘poo’.
After purchasing a pair of Nike trainers on Vinted for the staggeringly low sum of £1.50, the savvy shopper thought they had bagged a great deal.
But upon arrival, they found the soles caked in brown filth – which they claim is “stinky poo”.

Incredibly, after complaining the unhappy customer was told to “stop whinging and give them a clean”.
The messages between the two were shared on social media, where they have gone viral garnering thousands of likes.
Writing to the seller, the buyer wrote: “Why is there f***ing poo on them?
“You said they weren’t worn.
“My house f***ing stinks.

“They are absolutely covered.”
The seller’s defence reads: “They were basically not worn, only couple times, could pass off as brand new apart from the soles so just listed as new.”
The seller tells the buyer to “stop being rude” and says no additional pictures had been requested.

They add: “For £1.50 you got a good deal, stop whinging and give them a clean.”
To add insult to injury, when the shopper continues to respond – stating the trainers had been listed as “new without tags” – the seller says: “It’s £1.50 you obviously can’t afford them because you’re whinging so much.
“Maybe it’s time to look for a job.”
The seller says: “I don’t expect the world on Vinted but this is a step too far.”
Instagram users were left stunned by the exchange – and picture of the shoes in question, which features on What’s The Jam.
One person said: “That’s literally posting a bio hazard to someone it’s not ok event for £1.50 people get a grip.”
“Could pass as brand new? They’re absolutely f**king clapped,” said another.
Another user added: “Brand new except for being worn twice to wade through sh**e. Dear me.”
“The mental gymnastics to justify selling shit covered shoes just because they’re cheap shows insane lack of character. Anyone defending the seller on the grounds that they’re cheap should really reevaluate their moral compass,” said someone else.
One person joked: “Oh cool my mail order biohazard came.”
“You’re always playing with fire for £1.50,” another pointed out.
Someone else said: “I don’t care how cheap something is you ate least clean it before you ship! It’s basic courtesy! Seller is tapped.”
“Was she dancing through sh**e?!” wondered one user.
Another said: “1.50 is a great deal for a pair of trainers, but a high price to pay for a smudge of sh*t. I’m torn.”
“Why are the whole soles covered in poo tho that’s quite impressive it must have been a decent dollop,” said another stunned user.
