Questions?

Visit our Help Centre for all you need to know about buying and selling on Vinted.

Wish you could shop or sell heavy items without breaking a sweat? Now you can, thanks to Yodel's Door to Door delivery service on Vinted.

Why you’ll love it

• From your home to theirs. Yodel handles the heavy lifting, collecting large or bulky parcels up to 30kg from your doorstep. Save your back and schedule a pick-up within the Vinted app.
• Stress-free shipping. Relax knowing your parcel’s journey is tracked and insured, arriving safely within 3–5 business days.
• Easier on the wallet. Send your new-again gems from £5.69 to £10.69.

How it works

When your buyer chooses Yodel Door to Door at checkout, scheduling a pick-up is simple – just choose a date in the app. Then pack your parcel, print and attach the pre-paid label, and hand it to the courier on collection day.

For pre-loved purchases, sit back and wait for a knock at your door. Email updates keep you and your seller in the know. You’ll be asked to sign for pricier finds to ensure they arrive safe and sound.

Got questions? Get answers in our Help Centre.

Item prices aren’t always fixed on Vinted. A little balanced negotiation often closes a sale; buyers get their find for less, and sellers skip to the satisfaction of clear space. Everyone gets to their feel-good moment faster.

Use the Make an offer button to start the negotiation. Responding to offers quickly can increase your chances of success – read on for more buyer and seller insights.

When you’re buying

Found something you love but it's over your budget? Some sellers are open to offers, especially when they’re reasonable. Here are our tips on the best offers:

• Offers aren’t binding. Making an offer on price doesn’t commit you to purchasing the item. Making a couple on similar listings could help you find the best deal.
• Get into the details. Checking the number of favourites an item has, and how long ago it was uploaded, tells you how much interest there is. You can make bolder offers on less popular items.
• Make offers and make friends. Send a friendly message with your offer and be respectful if the seller says no. Politeness can’t hurt your chances of getting the deal.

When you’re selling

Selling for less doesn’t mean selling yourself short. After all, it’s better to get those unused items out the door than cluttering up your space, right? Here are our tips on managing offers:

• Fast responses, faster sales. No one likes to be ignored. Buyers will often send offers on multiple listings, so prioritising these messages could give yours the edge.
• Offer again. If the offer doesn’t meet your expectations, send a counteroffer that does. This tactic makes you 3 times more likely to complete a sale than ignoring the offer.
• Start the conversation. Item just got favourited? Send them a decent offer. This shows the buyer that you’re open to negotiating and puts you at the top of their inbox.
• Prefer to stick to your price? Politely decline the offer so the buyer can continue their search.

Ready to negotiate? Make an offer and score your next deal.

Great news! We’ve launched a new Electronics category, where you can shop and sell electronics safely in just a few simple steps.
​
We know that Vinted members have been listing their used electronics for a while, but until now these items didn’t have a dedicated space. With this new category, second-hand electronics will be more visible and easier for you to find and list.

• Video games & consoles: these have been moved from our Entertainment category

• Wearables: fitness trackers and smartwatches
• E-readers
• Accessories: chargers, adaptors, tripods, and more

Plus, keep an eye out for future updates.

What this new category means for you

For sellers: Declutter your home without creating waste. With the Electronics category, it’s easy to find new homes for the old devices you no longer use, so they don’t have to end up in landfill. Plus, you’ll earn some extra money from your clutter.

List your electronics by snapping some photos and adding a clear description. Make sure your Vinted app is updated to list in Electronics.

For buyers: Thinking of upgrading? Save money and extend the lifespan of pre-loved items by opting for second-hand.

Filter by brand, condition, and more to discover a wide range of electronic items in our new category. Shop with ease and give a second life to electronic items in just a few taps.

With the cost of living crisis, many of us have been cutting back on the little extras: swapping a Friday night takeaway for cooking, or saying no to splurges on clothes. While it’s good to think twice about our spending, don’t forget that sometimes you deserve a little extra. We’ve gathered some tips on how to earn some extra money and spend it wisely on the things that boost your mood.

Earn a little extra

When times are tight, selling what you don’t need can be an easy way to earn money. Spend your earnings on Vinted or for a luxury you’re craving.

• Find gold at the back of your wardrobe. Last season's looks that didn’t quite fit, gifts for your little ones that missed the mark, toys you bought your pet but they only played with the box – you can turn all of these into cash on Vinted. You’ll get yourself a little extra wardrobe space, too.
• Great listings sell items. Take pictures of the items you’ve decided to part with against a plain background with natural light. The more detailed your description, the easier it is for a buyer to make their decision.
• Boost visibility. Buyers are feeling the pinch too. Make it easy for them with a Bundle discount and sell more of your items in one go. Or, try one of our great-value paid features like Wardrobe Spotlights or Bumps and earn your money back faster.

Spend a little extra

Buying second-hand is one way to indulge in extras without breaking the bank.

• Shop smarter. Replace frequent impulse buys with fewer, wiser purchases. Check Vinted before you buy something new: you can often find quality second-hand items for less.
• Spend less, don't settle for less. Find exactly what you’re looking for with filters for brand, price, size, condition, and material. Or, follow sellers to get inspiration for future looks.
• It’s worth asking about price. You can use the “Make an offer” button to suggest a lower price. Or, try chatting with sellers to negotiate a discount on items or Bundles. If you time it right, you can take advantage of shipping discounts for even better value.

Be a little extra

Last but not least, enjoy your well-deserved treat: whether it’s a little extra cash to spend on yourself or a pre-loved piece that makes you smile. Don’t let anything hold you back from being a little extra.

Ready to dive in? Start selling what’s in your wardrobe, or browse for statement pieces.

Searching for the perfect linen shirt to stay cool this summer? Great news: you can now filter items by material, making it easier than ever to find what you’re looking for on Vinted. Try the Material filter to browse pre-loved pieces in a selection of your favourite fabrics – from cotton to silk, wool, and more.

How it works

For buyers: Filter by material to narrow your hunt for second-hand gems even more precisely. You’ll find the Material filter alongside options including Size, Brand, and Colour.

Or, search by material, along with any other details such as category or colour, to get even better results. Whether you’re seeking black denim shorts or a coral cashmere jumper, use the Search bar to discover pieces you’ll love.

For sellers: When uploading an item, you can now choose up to 3 materials that best describe it. Check the textile label attached to your garment for fabric details to give buyers a better idea of the item. Adding this information makes your listing easier to find – and more appealing to buyers. If you'd like, you can update your listings to include materials for members to browse.

Vinted commits 2M € to humanitarian aid and releases a new donation feature to support the people of Ukraine.

We are shocked and saddened by the war in Ukraine, and we share the views of so many in hoping for a peaceful end to the violence.

Vinted does not operate in Ukraine, but we are a European business, headquartered in Lithuania, with colleagues, partners, family and friends in Ukraine.

We are taking action to support humanitarian efforts towards the people of Ukraine and are committing €2M to a range of humanitarian initiatives and organisations. The first portion of this is concentrated on getting vital supplies and relief into Ukraine through our local networks.

We are also finding ways to help through Vinted, like connecting our members to charities supporting those in need. Now you can send money straight from your Vinted Balance, or via other available payment methods to Médecins du Monde (known as MDM, or Doctors of the World), a humanitarian organisation providing assistance and health services to those affected by the war in Ukraine. The charity will receive 100% of your contribution. Find out more about how to donate in our Help Centre. 

While our company-level response continues to be coordinated, we've seen an overwhelming and heart-warming response from our teams who have come together to volunteer, buy much-needed supplies, and do what they can to provide support to people in or fleeing Ukraine. A portion of the money we have committed comes from our colleagues here at Vinted. 

Our thoughts continue to be with Ukraine at this awful time.

The festive season is officially underway, which means it’s time for cosy nights, hot drinks, and party outfits (even if they’re just online this year). It’s also time to find the perfect gifts for your loved ones. While many of us now shop pre-loved for our festive looks, we still buy brand new when it comes to presents for others. Here’s our Vinted gift guide, full of tips and ideas to help you shop more consciously this season!

​ ​

Over 50% of us are choosing second-hand gifts

Buying pre-loved means you can find gifts that are truly one-of-a-kind. And you won’t be alone - in a recent survey commissioned by Vinted in the UK, France, Germany, and the Netherlands*, the results showed that 56% of the people asked intend to give and receive a mix of new and second-hand gifts this year. But there’s still room for change - only 1 in 10 of them told us that they would be buying all of their gifts second-hand. The reason? We’re happy to commit to pre-loved items for ourselves, but still feel the stigma attached to giving them to others.

So why should I buy second-hand?

There are so many reasons to embrace second-hand gifts, too. Much like your most precious items of clothing, the best presents are the ones with a story - something that’s been cherished. For thoughtful and memorable gifts, even on a tight budget, pre-loved is perfect. And it's more responsible than buying brand-new - you’ll save much-needed resources for our planet. You might even inspire those closest to you to do the same!

What makes a good second-hand gift?

You can build your list of pre-loved gifts with items such as a much-treasured, cosy sweater, a beloved pair of vintage sunnies, or a special edition of a favourite book. According to the same survey, books are the most popular second-hand gift, with toys, clothing, and jewellery not far behind. On Vinted you can find beautiful, like-new things that make for a more meaningful exchange.

What are some tips for buying second-hand?

The beauty of second-hand gifts is that because of the huge variety of categories and styles, it’s easy to find something for everyone in the family. And don’t forget office gifts and Secret Santa - check out Vinted’s latest listings to find thousands of fun little stocking fillers.

Feeling inspired? Here are our top tips to transform your gift-game this year:

1. Start early. Giving yourself a bit more time to look for gifts means you’re more likely to find the right ones - and you’ll factor in shipping time so your seller can send you your item.
2. Ask your loved ones what they’d like. Take the guesswork out of your search and find out who wants what. If you’re not sure, most people are happy to be asked - especially if you want to find them something unique.
3. Add a homemade card. Continuing with the theme of getting creative and resourceful, why not go the extra mile and add a homemade card to your present. A simple piece of coloured paper with a small handwritten note goes a long way!

This year, share the joy of giving gifts that get a second life with your family, friends, and colleagues - from little treats to something really special. Happy holidays!

For the majority of us, September brings not only a new season, but a return to our studying or work life, and the routines that come with it. Whether you’re going back full-time or hybrid, this autumn is a chance to rethink the way you switch your wardrobe - and you don’t need to have expensive or designer clothes to look confident and slay an outfit. We ran a survey* with Vinted’s members from the UK, France, the Netherlands, and Germany to find out how they get ready for autumn. Here are the results - and the best tips and insights for a conscious change of season.

1. Feel confident, stay comfortable

The recent research across these four countries showed that for over half of our members, the way that they usually dress for work or studying has changed during the pandemic, from somewhat to significantly. For most of these members, their style has changed towards wearing more casual clothes - and this doesn’t have to change now that we’re returning to studying or the office. Instead of stocking up on brand new outfits, if you’ve found you feel most confident in casual items you already wear try pairing them up with smarter pieces for a new look.

2. Don’t feel pressure to follow trends

Join the few, not the many - and shop more second-hand this season. 70% of members we interviewed that plan to buy new outfits for work or studying will get at least some of these items pre-loved. Vinted shopper Julie shared why she’s planning to buy off the high-street with us: “Buying pre-loved allows me to experiment with styles I like in an affordable and more sustainable way”.

3. Sharing really is caring

About a third of members that took part in the survey say dressing up for work or studying makes them feel more self-confident. You can help spread this new season energy by swapping good-quality items with a friend, or selling them to a Vinted member. The feeling of finding something really special, that’s someone else loved, only adds to your confidence when wearing it. This autumn, care for your community by sharing what’s already there.

4. Rethink and reduce

Even if we don’t find everything second-hand, rethinking what can be “new” when it comes to buying clothes has a doubly-positive effect. Vinted member Marie-Alixe describes how she successfully builds her wardrobe second-hand, by “...looking for simple timeless cuts, which will evolve with me and are not just a one season cut/style/print which I will get fed up with. Focusing on pre-owned rather than new if I can find my size, brand and cut...”. Buying pre-owned instead of brand-new also means you reduce your overall clothes consumption-so why not try it to find your autumn essentials? Browse thousands of second-hand styles on Vinted now.

5. Declutter what you don’t need

After reassessing your wardrobe, you might find that you have more than you need. That’s also where we come in. With the app it’s easy to sell and extend the life-cycle of your clothes, so check your wardrobe to find unworn things that are in perfectly good condition for someone else.
