Selling on Vinted: a UK reseller guide
How Vinted works for UK sellers: who it suits, what sells fast, the fee model with a worked example, and how deteqta helps you price it.
Who it is for. Vinted is the UK’s default for everyday secondhand clothing, with a huge, casual buyer base that moves quickly. It rewards volume and fair prices over rarity.
What sells well. Everyday and high street clothing, casual brands, kidswear, and affordable pieces that sell fast. Less suited to high value designer, which has better homes.
The fees, plainly. Vinted charges sellers nothing. No listing fee, no commission, no payment fee. You keep 100% of your listed price. The buyer pays a protection fee on top, a small percentage plus a fixed amount, which is why buyers often haggle, they are watching their total at checkout. Commercial Pro accounts work differently and can carry a commission.
Worked example: list a dress at £25 and you keep £25. The buyer pays a protection fee on top (very roughly £1.50), so they see about £26.50 plus postage.
How it works. The buyer chooses and pays for postage at checkout, so you rarely pay to post. Funds release a couple of days after delivery.
How deteqta helps. Deteqt the item first for the most to pay, a target sell price from real sold prices, and your profit, plus whether Vinted is the right home for it. If it is, deteqta drafts a casual, friendly Vinted style listing.
