Someone took it to Reddit to share photos from the Vinted page, with the seller using a cardboard cutout of Taylor Swift to model his clothes.
On a cutout photo of Taylor wearing a cream jacket, the seller wrote “favorite Taylor Swift.”
“Just scrolling and I came across this seller’s page,” the Reddit thread poster titled.
And people in the comments section were quick to praise the woman for her ingenuity in trying to sell her clothes.
“I have respect for the hustle and bustle…however possible!” one wrote.
“What a great idea!” another praised.
As a third said: “If it works, it works!”
“The dedication!” someone wrote.
“Sometimes I come across a saleswoman who always photoshops a big Venetian mask on her head, it’s incredible!”
“This is hilarious haha,” commented another.
“Game is game,” said someone else.
As another commented: “Lmao these 3rd and 4th dresses fit perfectly!”
While others said they were now thinking about using their own cardboard cutout to sell their clothes.
“I found a cutout of Dobby on Amazon for £20,” wrote one.
“Imagine doing that to sell socks!
“I have never sold anything on Vinted, despite having my account since the beginning of its existence.
New Vinted rules for you to know
IF you want to clean out your closet and get rid of your old stuff on Vinted, you’ll need to consider the new rules that recently came into effect.
If people sell personal items for less than they paid new (which is often the case with second-hand sales), there is no tax impact.
However, since January 1, digital platforms including eBay, Airbnb, Etsy, Amazon and Vinted must share seller information with HMRC as part of a crackdown.
You’re unlikely to be affected if you only sell a few second-hand items online each year – generally only commercial sellers who trade for profit may need to pay tax.
A £1,000 tax exemption has been in place since 2017 for commercial sellers trading for profit – the only time an individual personal item may be taxable is if it sells for more than £6,000 and there is a profit from the sale.
However, businesses now have to pass your details to HMRC if you sell 30 or more items a year or earn more than £1,700.
It is part of a broader tax crackdown to help ensure that those who increase their income through side hustles pay what they owe.
Although your details will not be shared with HMRC if you earn between £1,000 and £1,700, you will still need to pay tax as normal.
“I can finally pull the plug and move on!”
“I have a cutting of David Attenborough that I’m going to do this with,” said another.
“I saw a The Rock cut out on the Facebook market,” commented a third.
“I would have done it!”
“I have a cutout of Severus Snape… but with my clothes he would end up looking like Neville’s boggart!” someone laughed.
“A while ago I saw a seller modeling a dress on a giant Percy Pig plush,” said another.
