What sells best on Vinted

Vinted is primarily a fashion marketplace, so clothing, shoes, and accessories make up the bulk of sales. However, certain categories and brands consistently sell faster than others.

Popular high-street brands like Zara, H&M, Nike, and Adidas sell quickly at the right price
Premium brands like North Face, Levi's, and Dr Martens command higher prices
Seasonal items sell best when listed at the right time - coats in autumn, dresses in spring
Unique and vintage items attract collectors and fashion-conscious buyers willing to pay more

Quick answer

The keys to making money on Vinted are good photos, competitive pricing, and quick shipping. Start by listing clothes you no longer wear. Price items realistically based on condition and brand. Take clear, well-lit photos showing the item from multiple angles. Ship quickly when items sell to build positive reviews, which attract more buyers.

Pricing strategies

Search for the same or similar items on Vinted and filter by sold listings to see what people actually pay.

Vinted buyers love to make offers. Set your price 10-20% above your minimum acceptable amount.

Very low prices can make buyers suspicious about quality. Price fairly based on condition and brand.

Offer discounts when buyers purchase multiple items. This increases your total sale and reduces per-item shipping effort.

Photography tips

Photo essentials0 / 5 checked

Use natural daylight - photograph near a window for the most flattering, accurate colours
Show the item flat-lay or on a hanger against a clean, uncluttered background
Include close-ups of labels, tags, and any flaws or wear
Take at least 4-5 photos from different angles
Iron or steam items before photographing - wrinkled clothes look less appealing

Writing good listings

Your listing description should be clear and honest. Include the brand, size, condition, measurements if possible, and any flaws. Mention what the item pairs well with or the occasion it suits. Use relevant keywords in the title so buyers find your item when searching.

Shipping efficiently

Fast shipping builds your reputation and generates positive reviews. Keep a stock of mailing bags ready so you can post items the same day they sell. Choose the correct parcel size to keep shipping costs down for buyers.

Ship within 1-2 days of the sale for the best buyer experience
Use lightweight mailing bags for clothing to keep the parcel small and cheap to post
Package items neatly - tissue paper and a thank-you note create a positive unboxing experience
