What is Vinted?

Vinted is a website with a free application, which allows you to sell or buy second-hand items. Born from a small project in Lithuania by two founders, Vinted now gathers a community of over 45 million members in 12 different countries. Vinted is incredibly easy to use, which contributes greatly to its popularity.

Once the registration is completed the next step is to create your Vinted profile.

In "Settings", then "Profile Data", fill in the elements concerning you to complete your profile. You can also add a photo.

Under the "Settings" menu you will also find the "Shipping" options to add your shipping address or to enable/disable certain shipping methods.

How does selling on Vinted work?

Now that your Vinted profile has been created, you can start selling items. Selling on Vinted is completely free, so you can add as many items to your dressing room as you want.

In the "Sell" tab, start adding items. Add quality photos of the product you want to sell and fill in as much information as possible (condition, brand, size...), then indicate the price. Be really honest in your description and on the conditions of the product.

All you have to do is wait for someone to buy one of your items!

You can offer a discount on lots in your profile, or also make personalized offers to people who have saved some of your items in favorites.

Once you have an order, you will have to proceed with the shipping according to Vinted's shipping conditions.

As soon as the buyer has confirmed that he has received his package, you will receive the money from the sale. There are no fees, you will receive the full price you set for your item.
