I have seen men in women's clothing. I ain't getting into that debate but no mate, not buying it. Doesn't even fit properly

I went out on my birthday and then pissed sent offers of 30% off on loads of earrings. They all got accepted and because I hate being a twit I bought them all. Might need some new ear piercings.
I buy and sell 80s and 90s clothing and usually swap back and forth between the actual brand category and the Vintage Dressing category. There are also categories for 1980s 1990s 2000s, but I've never sold anything using them. If it's a brand with multiple labels - say St Michael and M&S - I might move the St Michael item over to M&S and call it 'vintage M&S Skirt'. Same with Primark and Atmosphere. C&A and any of their sub-labels, etc.
Make sure you use keywords like '80s 1980s eighties' and then stuff like 'goth whimsigoth dark academia secretary picnic retro vintage madras whatever'. Watch similar items with lots of favourites and take note of the terms they use.
Ultimately though, I relist a lot. I've yet to get a warning about it.
This lady's got it all figured out!

I make almost £1,000 a month on Vinted - here's exactly how I turned my wardrobe into a side hustle... and how you can do it too

When Tanya first downloaded Vinted, she wasn’t expecting it to become a major income stream. The 60-year-old from Essex just wanted to declutter her home and raise some extra cash, after Long Covid and a number of other health conditions meant she had to leave her job as a community centre manager.
Fast forward a year, and Tanya has earned £1,000 in a single month selling second-hand items on the site, which has helped fund a power wheelchair and a storage shed to house her growing collection of stock.
Despite having no previous experience selling online, she says a few canny tricks are the key to both financial and personal success. ‘It‘s something I can do from my bed on difficult days,’ she says, ‘and has given me both a new lease of life‘ as well as a healthy supplementary income.
Want to do the same? Here are Tanya’s top tips for making Vinted your job – and helping the planet out at the same time.
Start with what you already own
Like many sellers, Tanya began by listing clothes she no longer wore.
Having always loved second-hand fashion and sustainability, she already had plenty of items tucked away in wardrobes to shift online.
Tanya, 60, began selling her unwanted clothes on Vinted for a bit of extra cash after leaving her job, but was surprised to make £1,000 in just one month
According to Tanya, she was shocked by how quickly her first listings sold. And she suggests anyone else starting out should do the same.
Instead of immediately investing hundreds of pounds, Tanya recommends learning the platform first by selling unwanted clothes, accessories and household items already sitting at home.
Presentation matters more than the label
One of the biggest mistakes new sellers make, according to Tanya, is assuming that expensive brands automatically sell themselves. The reality is the listing itself is every bit as important as the item.
‘A good picture does way more than a fabulous garment,’ she explains. Over time, she's developed a routine for every listing. Clothes are steamed, photographed in good light and shown from multiple angles. She also includes close-up shots of details such as buttons, labels and any imperfections.
The goal, she says, is helping buyers picture themselves wearing the item. To help them do this, she sometimes uses photo editing software like Photoroom, to provide a 3D model of how each garment actually fits. She also gets her photographer wife to help get images that are high quality and correctly cropped, so no sleeves or details are accidentally chopped off.
As Tanya says, if you have a pristine garment with bad pictures and the same item, but slightly more worn, with great ones, the latter will sell quicker nine times out of ten.
Know your labels
You might assume the secret to making money on Vinted is stumbling across designer bargains and flogging them for a profit. But according to Tanya, her best-selling items are usually by high street labels.
Designer labels don't automatically sell on Vinted. According to Tanya, the photo quality is much more important than luxury, and high street brands do particularly well
One brand that consistently flies off the virtual shelves is Helly Hansen. Tanya says that whenever she lists an item from the outdoor clothing brand, it tends to sell almost immediately. Vintage sportswear also performs very well, with Nike and Adidas hoodies and sweatshirts proving popular among buyers looking for quality, retro streetwear.
She has also had success with dependable high-street favourites including Next, Marks & Spencer and Wallis, because buyers are familiar with the quality, sizing and fit.
The key takeaway is to focus on brands you yourself understand. 'Buy what you know' is the rule she swears by. Rather than spending hundreds on luxury labels you know nothing about and desperately trying to figure out how much to sell them for, she's built her business around spotting good-quality, mid-range clothing you can wear day to day, and people can actually afford.
Work with the algorithm
However much we hate (or, let's be honest, don't entirely understand) the phrase, working with the algorithm is a surprisingly important part of selling successfully on Vinted.
According to Tanya, one of the biggest things she's learned is that the more active you are on the app, the more visible your items are. Rather than uploading a batch of items and then forgetting about them for weeks, she regularly tweaks listings, updates descriptions and adjusts prices to keep her account active.
She explains that even if you're not adding new stock, making small changes can help push your listings back up the rankings and in front of more buyers. 'With Vinted's algorithms, even if you're not uploading, if you just change key words or hashtags, you keep up to the top of the algorithm, so people see your things better,' she says.
Another top tip for getting noticed on Vinted is using your account regularly, as the more active you are the more visible your items will be
Timing can also make a difference. Tanya has found that evenings tend to be when most people buy, particularly between 8pm and 11pm when people have finished work, put the kids to bed, settled down on the sofa and inevitably start scrolling. Weekends are also a great bet, while October and November are some of the best months for sales as shoppers start hunting for Christmas bargains.
On the flip side, she says January is often quieter for sellers but it’s a great time to buy stock, as fewer people are spending money and bargains are easier to find. As with most things on Vinted, it’s often a case of playing the long game rather than expecting every item to sell overnight.
Reinvest what you make
Once Tanya realised Vinted could generate a decent income, she began putting her profits back into the business. After receiving a medical retirement payment, she started buying wholesale vintage clothing to resell, building up stock bit by bit rather than spending huge amounts in one go.
But she warns against getting carried away. Plenty of new sellers make the mistake of spending hundreds of pounds on stock before they've even worked out what people actually want to buy. Tanya's approach was much slower and steadier: sell a few items, see what people like best, reinvest some of the profits, then repeat.
Today, she has two sheds full of stock waiting to be photographed and listed, with everything from vintage sportswear to high-street finds ready to go online. Rather than trawling charity shops every weekend, because of her reduced mobility, much of her stock now comes from online auctions and wholesale vintage suppliers, where she can source items without having to spend hours on her feet.
She also has great luck with overstock sales, when companies clear their inventories. One of her best finds was a batch of brand-new wool coats that were being sold off at a fraction of their original retail price, which Tanya resold individually on Vinted for a profit.
Remember why you're doing it
For Tanya, Vinted was never just about making money. A lifelong fan of second-hand fashion, she's passionate about keeping clothes out of landfill, and also was eager to find new purpose after her health deteriorated.
That passion has resulted in real rewards. The income she's earned has helped fund a new electric wheelchair, giving her more independence and mobility. Going forward, she hopes she might be able to get another wheelchair for outdoor trips, fund a holiday to Scotland when her health improves, and continue to treat her newborn grandson.
And Tanya isn’t alone. In 2025, Vinted sellers made a whopping £9.3billion, highlighting that when used properly, resale can be a really lucrative income stream. It’s about knowing how to best make use of the opportunity – and Tanya’s tips can help you do exactly that.

Love to know her Vinted name to actually look. She may well have made that one month,I highly doubt every month. I have seen Tiktoks of full time resellers with following that did a breakdown of each site,Vinted,eBay, Whatnot. Whatnot was by far the most amount,I think Vinted was about £400,eBay was about £30 lol. Autumn winter is easiest as people will pay more for the clothing,in comparison to summer stuff,that's obvious. God the comments sectionThis lady's got it all figured out!

Nobody actually read it saying "nobody has that many clothes in their wardrobe" 
she clearly said she buys them.
Oooh I didn't know there were categories by decade. How could I find them please ?
I haven't got them either lol
Yes but isn't that just typing in 2000 to the brand bit ?
Yes, that's what I meant.
Ah okay lol I thought there was a secret section I had missed
Does anyone know if you can post Vinted parcels into the Royal Mail lockers?
I went to use one yesterday and it said that any parcels without labels would be sent back. There’s no option to print a label so I’m confused as to whether they are not usable for Vinted parcels

I sent a Vinted parcel using a Royal Mail locker last week, the locker had a label printer, but I don't think they all do.Does anyone know if you can post Vinted parcels into the Royal Mail lockers?

Hi I'm quite new to vinted, I've sold a couple of things, I put 'small' package on postage for one of the dresses I sold, it's been sent by royal mail. Probs a stupid question but what happens if it should've been a medium size package? I sent it via the lockers.
Also I've listed a few more things but only 1 or 2 views? Not sure what I'm doing wrong. They're dresses and they're beautiful so not sure why they're not getting the views.
Also I've listed a few more things but only 1 or 2 views? Not sure what I'm doing wrong. They're dresses and they're beautiful so not sure why they're not getting the views.
I wouldn't worry about size. I've sent a bunch of things that would have been over but they don't seem to care now when it's "marketplace seller" tagged on the label.
With your other listings, it could be anything. It's not certain (as in Vinted have never said officially, but it's pretty much accepted) that when you post something it's pushed out to a smaller group of people and then if they interact with it (click onto the listing / favourite it) it gets pushed out to more and more people. So if nobody in that first group happens to be interested, it tends to flop. It really is luck of the draw and you're best off deleting and resisting. I've listed an identical thing (as in I had two of the same photo frame), I sold one and then uploaded the other after it had sold. First one went haywire and sold within two hours. Next one, exact same listing, near identical photos, the following day, crickets.
Also all the other things that you might already know, decent bright cover photo / uploading at a time when most people are online / title with keywords (size, brand, colour, distinguishing features)
Every time. Every bloody time. I stated this book is very rare. There is only one on Ebay for £37.
40% off is imbedded in the psyche of Vinted buyers now - it never used to be like this, and I have been on there for at lease three years. We now know this is thanks to influencers like the aforementioned Jess Warner, who has encouraged it. When that article on the DM about Toff encouraging her followers to lowball sellers, the majority of comments were as angry as we were. We all know this is out of order.
Anyway - this fucker joins my block list.
That's interesting, thank you!
Not eBay or Vinted but thought you’d all appreciate this. Sold some concert tickets this week on twickets and had offers turned on for them as they said they could only offer 30% less than the price. Well they lied and I kept getting offers like this for £75 
. I was about to relist them with offers turned off and then I got a sensible offer and sold them. (£250 was already a £50 loss)
. I was about to relist them with offers turned off and then I got a sensible offer and sold them. (£250 was already a £50 loss) Just like Amazon’s culture of ‘buy now, have it within 10 seconds - instant gratification’ spreading to other platforms, we now have the 40% off infecting other platforms. Yuk!!Not eBay or Vinted but thought you’d all appreciate this.

Don’t judge me for using Temu, but I’ve just received my order placed on 5th June that’s come from overseas. I bought something from eBay on 4th June who is a seller that is allegedly based in “London” and I’ve still not received it.
