Vinted has grown into one of the biggest secondhand fashion marketplaces by making selling free: sellers pay no commission, and buyers pay a Buyer Protection fee at checkout instead. That makes it a natural home for everyday clothing, kids' clothes, shoes and accessories that would lose too much to fees elsewhere.
Selling well on Vinted is less about hype and more about clear listings, fair prices and reliable shipping. The platform rewards sellers who describe items accurately and ship on time.
This guide covers the full process: setting up, listing, pricing, package sizes, shipping, getting paid, and the habits that get items sold.
• No seller fees — you keep your full sale price; buyers pay Buyer Protection (about 5% + a fixed amount)
• List with clear photos, the right category, brand, size and an honest condition
• Pick the correct package size — it sets the shipping price the buyer pays
• Ship within the deadline Vinted shows or the order is cancelled
• Get paid once the buyer confirms the order or the confirmation window passes
Rules and deadlines vary by country — check Vinted's Help Center for your market. Full fee details are in our Vinted fees guide.
Step 1: Set Up Your Vinted Account
Download the Vinted app or sign up on the website. Add a profile photo, a short bio, and verify your email and phone number. Buyers check reviews and profiles, so a complete profile helps from the first listing.
Add your address and, when prompted, your payout details so your earnings can be transferred to your bank account.
Step 2: Create a Listing
Tap the upload button and add photos first. Aim for several: the whole item, the front and back, the label, and close-ups of fabric and any flaws. Natural light and a plain background make a big difference.
Then fill in:
Title:brand plus item type plus a key detail — "Levi's 501 straight jeans light wash".
Description: size, measurements, material, fit and any flaws.
Category, brand, size and condition:these power Vinted's filters, so fill in every one.
Colour and material where offered.
Step 3: Price for the Buyer's Total
Because Vinted takes nothing from sellers, you do not need a fee buffer. But the buyer pays your price plus Buyer Protection plus shipping, so a $12 item can cost them $18 or more. Search for similar items and price competitively against what they sold for.
Vinted buyers also make offers. Decide your lowest acceptable price in advance and leave a little room above it.
Step 4: Choose the Right Package Size
Every listing needs a package size — typically small, medium or large. It determines which shipping options and prices the buyer sees. Choose based on the packed weight and dimensions: a T-shirt is small, a pair of jeans or a hoodie usually medium, boots or a coat large.
Step 5: Ship Your Vinted Order
When an item sells, Vinted provides a prepaid label or drop-off code for the carrier the buyer chose. Pack the item, attach the label, and drop it off before the shipping deadline shown in the order — usually a few working days.
Orders that are not shipped in time are cancelled and refunded. Shipping quickly also earns better reviews, which directly affect how many people buy from you.
Step 6: Get Paid
Once the item is delivered, the buyer has a short window to report a problem. When they confirm everything is fine — or the window passes — the money moves to your Vinted balance with no commission taken. Transfer it to your bank account from the balance screen.
