Two updates! 1) Swaps are now being removed from Vinted (talked about 06:30-07:00) so may make the upload process a bit faster! 2) Shipping labels can now be viewed within the app, particularly useful for print in store labels!
Thank you so much Lorraine! ☺️ Glad you found it useful! Hope selling goes well and do let me know if you have any questions - always happy to help (and who knows, maybe it will trigger a follow-up video!)
Thanks for this very informative video. I have just started on Vinted and it has helped a lot. I particularly like the way you don't waffle on and just get straight to the point. I have subscribed!
Thanks for this video it's a great insight into Vinted I was so unsure about the postage side of things I will have to have a go and sell all this baby clothes I have.
I'm so glad you found it useful Sophie! Yes I'd definitely recommend giving it a go - I've noticed baby clothes sell well (especially if you put a few of them into one listing of a particular age group). Best of luck! 🙂
Great advice in this x I’ve been on vinted 2 wks and sold 6 items... 30 quid up to yet...❤ didn’t realise about the option to pick the sending methods etc and the description x thank you x
You’re welcome! you found if useful and congrats on your sales so far! Yes choosing what shipping methods buyers can use is definitely a game changer! Thanks for your comment!
You’re welcome! I don’t list every day I must admit! When I did a large clear out I then list gradually, probably 2-3 items a day until they’re all listed… but it does really depend! If you’re getting started I would recommend listing a few at once (around 10) so when people click on your profile it’s not empty, but then just upload as works with your schedule :)
I've got 3 bin liners full of clothes i've wanted to sell, they've honestly been there for months! I'd been so overwhelmed on which platform to use, how to correctly price my items etc so thank you for this video :) i do have one more question! - i don't have a label printer is there a way for me to start selling without?
Thank you, just started on Vinted and this is really helpful. Sold my first item this morning 👍🏼 Could I ask?.. if the buyer does not confirm delivery/all ok when does your money clear? Found your link in the Vinted forum x
You're welcome and congrats on selling your first item! 🎉 Once the buyer confirms delivery is all okay the money comes through instantly to your Vinted balance 🙂 You can leave the balance there or you can "Withdraw" to your bank account - this can take 3-5 days (for me it's usually within a day) 🙂
If they do not confirm, within 3 days of them receiving the parcel it will be marked as them automatically confirming (money is released and you get a 5* review 🙂) The only instance where you may not get the money is if a dispute is created by the buyer (for example, if an item was inaccurately described or hasn't arrived)
hi, great video - plan to set up a vinted account the weekend so will use your referral link. i dont have a printer atm , should i therefore select *custom postage* ? many thanks :)
You’re welcome! Glad it was helpful and hopefully uploading goes well and you sell some items!! If you don’t have a printer turn all other options off in settings and then input custom postage on each item (you can then send with whomever you like and use their print in store facilities (e.g. Hermes/Evri) or take to the post office). I wouldn’t recommend turning on Royal Mail as Vinted don’t always calculate this correctly. You won’t be able to turn off UPS as an option but it’s totally acceptable to write in the item description “NO UPS POSTAGE”. A number of successful sellers do this with no issues (and from my own experience with now over 200 sales I have yet to have someone want to use UPS!) Hope that helps!
Hi Harry, I would recommend using Royal Mail's online service only if you don't have a printer. They can collect the next day as long as you order and pay by 11:59pm or you can choose any day within 5 working days. They will collect unlimited parcels from you (or even from a safe place but only 1 parcel per day in this case) and they have an amazing service called "Bring My Label". This means that your label will be printed for your postman/woman to bring to you. When they come to collect, they scan the label(s), that sends an automatic proof of postage email to you, they hand you the label and you have to stick it on your parcel (doesn't apply to safe place collections). You can screenshot the email, cross out your personal details and send it to your buyers as a postage receipt. I've been using this service for 3 days and it is honestly just so much easier and simpler. I appreciate not having the time cost of having to walk back and forth to an Evri parcel shop too. Just make sure you turn off all other postage options (apart from UPS which can't be turned off) so they can't compare the Royal Mail price with Evri or Yodel which is always cheaper. I've been selling with only Royal Mail for 5 days and my items have been moving quickly so don't be deterred Always bear in mind that although there are people out there who want cheaper shipping, there are also people out there who are willing to pay a bit extra for a more reliable and trustworthy service with Royal Mail.
Great advice thanks for sharing! I'll also add that Evri now have a print in store option as well as Yodel directly within the app and just have a barcode to scan
Hello 👋🏻! I've not personally sold electronics on vinted - generally if there isn't an explicit category for the type of electronic (e.g. video console has an explicit category but projector doesn't) then I would look to sell it on another site to ensure it can easily be found by buyers... Generally for most of my electronics I sell them on eBay with an auction option (for 10 days from a Thursday so it ends on a Sunday) and a buy it now option for 1.5x the price I would be happy for it to go for at auction. This garuntees a quick sale and I've found it easy although you do need to account for fees. If the item is larger and difficult to package I go for Gumtree/Facebook marketplace (which you can also use instead of eBay if active in your area!) I'll definitely have to try selling some electronics on Vinted when I next have some in a clear out!
Certain categories do struggle to sell for a good price quickly. What are you listing/selling? I find a lot of me is leaving the item listed and in due course people find it and want it. Certain brands (e.g. crew clothing, mint velvet, jigsaw) sell for good prices. I've found a few high street brands are often less (e.g. H&M, Primark, Next) probably because there is a lot listed! I've also found trousers more difficult to sell in general than tops/dresses so it could also be types of items? It may also be buyers are low balling you - I've often found if I don't accept an offer they were willing to pay original price or someone else will purchase it! I've heard depop is good for items that are in fashion and vintage items so it could be worth giving a go? :)
@@rebstriesit thanks for your reply most of the stuff I’m selling is baby clothes I have started to put things on for £1 as I just need to make space. If anyone is interested I’m selling mostly barely worn thing. Vinted name is chandler27
Congrats on your success selling! I’m afraid I’m not a tax expert, however, I know in the UK you get a £1,000 self-employed allowance each year which this qualifies under :)
I find people often follow me after purchasing something so they get alerts for new items - you don't need followers to sell items I've never had just hi, maybe it's them looking for an offer? I often have people with the automated "Hi would you accept £XX" which I can then click accept / decline Hope that helps!
Hi, I am on vinted and it’s gonna be nearly a year and I just sold 12 things my selling is very slow. People like my thing but not buying and price is not high as well. What shall I do ?
Hmm… tricky one! At that point I’d check I’ve added as much as possible in description and maybe add a few key phrases if not already in there to help people finding… maybe check photos are best representation of item? If all already done it may be a case of waiting for the right buyer to come along unfortunately!
@@rebstriesit Brilliant thank you, I have just started selling on Vinted and your video was so useful but I was sitting there with my tablet pressed up against my nose trying to hear ha ha😄😄😄
Remember that over £1k you need to declare for income tax. HMRC can see exactly what's going in your bank account and if you don't declare you can end up with a criminal record / fine for tax evasion!
Why did'nt you discuss all labeling options? Isn't this the reason for making this video? Most dont' have a printer. You really need to practice Inpost then explain it to your audience.
Sorry I didn't go into detail on everything - I have used inpost before and it has worked well as you just need to scan a barcode. However, I prefer not to use it as it is further away and there aren't always lockers available / large enough lockers if a large parcel. It does work well if you don't have a printer though! Yodel also doesn't require a printer as you can just get the barcode scanned in store and I find Yodel better than inpost. Hopefully that is helpful!
