Other Earning Opportunity Anyone sell on Vinted?

[Annie Beau]

I'm going to give Vinted a try - years ago I had an ebay shop selling pre loved clothes but it became unviable when the local charity shop started charging London prices in a Northern small town shop....
Anyway, I'm juts going to try it as they are advertising absolutley everywhere at the moment.
On the 'how to sell page it says 'Sold! Box your item, print your prepaid shipping label, and pop to the drop-off point within 5 days.' - do they have a designated preferred carrier? i would prefer Royal Mail

Then
There are zero selling fees, so what you earn is yours to keep. You’ll be paid as soon as the buyer confirms everything’s OK.

So...its dependant on if the buyer can be bothered confirming before you get paid?

I know its zero selling fees but then again so is ebay and I can literally list on ebay with my eyes shut. BUT ebay arent advertisng anywhere near as much as Vinted.
I read somewhere that you cant be a business seller on Vinted and no doubt there are soem who flout it as Ive seen 'star wardrobe' sellers who seem to sell loads of items, one of them has feedback of 5210 reviews. I cant find any info on this anywhere though.

Thanks

I'm a seller and a buyer, I love it personally, it's so easy to use on both sides of the coin.

In your settings you can specify which carrier you'd like to use - it's worth looking at all the available drop off locations close to you for the different options - the inpost lockers are a great option.

Since the tracking for all postal options is now integrated, once the system updates that the parcel has been picked up/delivered (depending on the option the buyer chose), they have 48 hours to report a problem or mark the item as ok, then the funds are released to you. If the buyer doesn't confirm within 48 hours, Vinted automatically ok the order and you get your money, so you never have to wait more than 2 days once the buyer has it.

They've introduced the Pro Seller option for businesses, which is different to the 'Star Wardrobe' designation - that just means the seller has uploaded at least 5 items within the last 30 days so is a bit pointless imo.

Hope that helps
