How Vinted shipping works

Vinted uses integrated prepaid shipping labels. When a buyer purchases an item, a label is generated automatically. The seller prints it, attaches it, and drops the parcel at the carrier location.

Prepaid labels generated automatically after a sale - no weighing or pricing needed
Multiple carriers including Royal Mail, InPost, Evri, and DPD by package size
Built-in tracking on all shipments for buyer and seller
Buyer protection - Vinted holds payment until buyer confirms receipt

Quick answer

Vinted postage works through prepaid shipping labels. The buyer pays for shipping at checkout. The seller prints the label, packages the item, and drops it at the carrier's location. All shipments are tracked. Payment is held until the buyer confirms the item arrived.

Who pays for postage

The buyer pays for shipping as part of the purchase. The cost is added to the item price at checkout, so the buyer sees the total upfront. Sellers do not pay postage from their earnings.

Shipping cost varies by package size and carrier. Sellers set the package size when listing, which determines shipping options and costs shown to buyers.
