How Vinted payments work

Vinted uses an escrow system. The buyer's payment is held by Vinted until the transaction is complete. Once the buyer confirms the item is as described (or 2 days pass), the money is released to your Vinted wallet.

✅
Payment is held securely until the buyer confirms or 2 days pass after delivery
✅
Money goes to your Vinted wallet first, then you transfer to your bank
Bank transfers take 1-5 working days depending on your bank
Or spend your balance directly on Vinted to buy other items

Quick answer

Your payment is released to your Vinted wallet 2 days after delivery (or sooner if the buyer clicks "Everything is OK"). From your wallet, you can transfer to your bank account (1-5 working days) or use the balance to buy items on Vinted.

Your Vinted wallet

Your wallet balance is visible in the app under your profile. It shows pending payments and available balance.
Two uses: spend directly on Vinted purchases (instant) or withdraw to your linked bank account (1-5 days).

Withdrawing to your bank account

Go to your Vinted wallet settings and add your UK bank details (sort code and account number). You only need to do this once.

In your wallet, tap "Transfer to bank account" and enter the amount. You can withdraw all or part of your available balance.

Bank transfers typically take 1-5 working days. The speed depends on your bank. Some process within 24 hours, others take the full 5 days.

Tips for managing Vinted payments

✅
Ship quickly. The faster you ship, the sooner the buyer receives and confirms, and the sooner your payment is released. Don't wait until day 5.
Use your balance on Vinted if you're an active buyer and seller. Spending wallet balance avoids the bank transfer wait time entirely.
