SELLING ON VINTED
words by NATALIE GAL
Founded in Lithuania in 2008, Vinted quickly grew into a cultural movement. Today, it's Europe’s leading marketplace for pre-loved fashion and a favorite destination for all kinds of second-hand treasures.
Everyone’s heard of Vinted. Everyone wants in. But knowing where to start can feel a bit unclear. Whether you're looking to free up space at home, save for your next holiday, or shift toward more mindful consumption — these six smart steps will help you sell faster, more attractively, and with more enjoyment.
Step 1 – Wednesday Evening: Declutter Your Home
Decluttering is at the heart of selling on Vinted. Be honest and intentional — identify what you truly need and love. You may rediscover long-forgotten pieces you adore, find new ways to style old favorites, or finally feel ready to part with items someone else will enjoy more.
Whether you're clearing out your closet, putting aside cash for travel, or simply trying to consume more consciously, there’s a smarter way to sell. With the right approach, you can make your items stand out, attract buyers faster, and actually enjoy the process.
Step 2 – Thursday Evening: Build a Strong Profile, Boost Trust
A solid profile builds buyer confidence. Write a short but informative bio. Mention who you are and what kind of items you sell. Include relevant details — your clothing size, height, age, background, and personal style. The more authentic and transparent you are, the more trustworthy you'll seem to potential buyers.
Step 3 – Saturday Morning: Take Photos in Natural Light
Great photos sell items — no marketing degree required. Use daylight and a clean, clutter-free background. Lay out your items neatly or style them creatively. Make the process fun! Vinted data shows listings with three or more photos are much more likely to sell. Always show any flaws or damage — buyers will notice eventually, and honesty builds credibility.
Step 4 – Saturday Afternoon: Write a Description That Stands Out
Put yourself in the buyer’s shoes — what would you want to know? The more detailed your description, the more likely your item will catch someone’s interest.
Here’s a handy checklist:
What is it? Name the item (e.g. women's dress, Bluetooth speaker).
Brand, color & condition (e.g. Adidas, forest green, like new).
Style or use (e.g. minimalist, vintage, practical).
Size or dimensions (e.g. size M, 120 x 80 x 75 cm).
Material & features (e.g. 100% cotton, water-resistant, long battery life).
Step 5 – Saturday Evening: Price Fairly and Realistically
A well-priced item avoids endless bargaining and sells more quickly. Here’s a simple pricing guide from Vinted:
New with/without tag: 80–60% of the original price
Very good condition: 60–40%
Good/fair condition: 40–20%
Being fair benefits both you and the buyer — everyone wins.
Step 6 – Saturday Evening: Upload for Sunday Sales
Saturday evening is the perfect time to upload — Sunday is Vinted’s busiest shopping day, especially in the evening. People are relaxed, scrolling, and ready to shop. Uploading consistently around the same time each week can also boost your visibility, thanks to how the algorithm works.
Vinted is one of the most exciting answers to the challenges of fast fashion in recent years. One person’s “no longer needed” or “I am not sure about it” truly is another’s treasure. Dive into the app, explore, and enjoy the process — because at its core, fashion should be fun, expressive, and sustainable.
