Anyone Use Vinted

I've used it a couple of times to sell, here's how it goes:

1) You list an item with actual photos, decent description, and a realistic price (not too expensive nor too cheap, just in between).

2) Someone buys it.

3) Vinted provides a shipping label and you drop it at the store they accept (i.e. Evri/Yodel/Royal Mail/etc).

4) Once the buyer receives or picks up, it gets ticked as delivered and if he/she doesn't automatically confirm it, the system itself will after a few days and the money will be available afterwards.

As for being a buyer...

Just be careful with scammers, dubious prices, mirrored photos, zero feedback sellers, and so on.

I recently bought a game from a zero feedback seller, but she looked genuine so that's why I bought it. I've bought a bunch of games from Vinted and will be trading them abroad for cash as they're worth more there and will be staying there for a while.

I think I may have bought from 2 sellers in the past, decent experience, I haven't yet sold on there.

There is a previous forum post where people discussed Vinted, if you wanted to have a look: www.latestdeals.co.uk/chat/selling-vinted

It's really good I was a bit unsure from using depop and ebay. It's great the buyer pays the postage and there's no fee's and the buyer has 2 days to report any problems, the tracking is provided by vinted. I think it's more technically improved In my opinion.

I tried to sell some of my daughters clothes on the site, i sold one batch but after posting costs I think I made a pound, so didn’t bother again. Her other clothes could still be on the site somewhere!

I think vinted is OK, but be cautious with scammers. I follow a FB group and I've seen issues with both buyers and sellers getting messed around, Vinted isn't always great at helping resolve issues so I'd start off selling cheaper stuff to get use to it before you sell expensive stuff.

I love using Vinted. Sold quite a lot of unwanted clothes/shoes/brand new cosmetics etc on there.

Only ever come across two issues since started selling about two years ago. It can be hot and miss if people buy but I put mine in a draw in the spare room to keep them separate.

Always write any flaws or such in the description and take photos of it.

I use the evri postage and Royal Mail. Evri the buyer pays postage and you then print a label. Royal Mail they do pay postage but you have to pay it first to post the item, I use the online Royal Mail buying postage and find it easy to use.

When buyer collects they have two days to say if any thing is wrong or they confirm and the money is released.

No fees which is a bonus.

Never had a problem with evri.

Don’t sell expensive items on there, rather sell them face to face. Unused/unwanted cheaper items sell on there.

Buyer protection is there if parcel doesn’t turn up etc, buyer and seller both get the funds for missing items so neither is out of pocket.

I've used this app loads of times. I have never had a bad experience in selling old items that I no longer use.

How do you receive shipping label? By emai? Do you have to print? I’ve never used Evri/Yodel and wouldn’t know how. Don’t know if near me. I’d like to use vinted but just confused and wary of scammers.

I am a bit confused about the locker service, does anyone kmow whether their should be a customers address on the parcel because all i have is a number as i wasn,t able to print off the scan which was supposed to contain a bar code so i tried another place where the lockers were full so i still have the item. Someone said i only need the number but i cant imagine it can be sent without the cudtomerd address. can anyone tell me please.

I am thinking about it as ebay is far too expensive these days

My husband bought something via Vinted over a week ago. The seller sent proof of posting but on inspection there’s something wrong with it. Looks like he’ll have to raise an issue. Fingers crossed for a refund.

Yeh been using it a year now and had quite a lot of sales it’s been good

Update : I have downloaded the app and have uploaded a lot of things and have sold them all thanks for all the help!

Have never used Vinted before but have a few clothes to sell. From what I’ve read you need to print a shipping label? Well I don’t have a printer (we won’t spend the money on expensive inks) so does that mean I can’t use it? Thanks.

I sold a few items like clothes and shoes. I also bought a few from sellers who had reviews already and I received them all.

I once had a problem with a buyer that wanted a refund - it was technically my fault because I sold a pair of shoes that I have worn - but apparently they were for young boys. she found that info online and wanted a refund. but back then the buyer had to pay for shipping the shoes back to me in order to get a refund, so we decided to leave it as it is and she will resell the shoes. I ended up giving her half of the $ back via paypal out of good will buyer was then happy and she left me a good review.

Bought a few items on Wallapop (similar to Vinted) and sellers regretted selling for the price they put up, so what did they do? Cancel my order and relist.

I'll not be buying from them ever again.

Vinted penalizes sellers who do this and rightfully so.

I’ve got some great bargains of this site - brand new Kickers for £10 for my grandson starting secondary school. Brand new bedding for myself with price tag of £80 on it delivered to my door for just under £15. I’ve also sold few bits and find it much better site than eBay to buy and sell on

I’ve used it to buy once recently and found it to be good, I’ve heard it’s good to sell too

My husband paid for some trainers which were slow to arrive so contacted the seller who provided a proof of posting. After further investigation there was no such post office, contacted vinted as it was obviously a SCAM. Had to wait the agreed time in their t&c. Money refunded.

I just made £959 at my first month using it!

I think its fab. Much better than ebay

I think I'm going to need to delete the app, I'm absolutely obsessed I've picked up that many great offers the owner of the shop I collect my parcels from knows me by name and always has my orders sitting ready for me
