Among other people and celebrities such as Sam Faiers flogging their vintage gear was also style-loving Megan – who raised an incredible £1,000 before her page was blocked.

Now, Megan – who has since turned to Depop to make money – has turned to TikTok to reveal exactly how she managed to make so much selling pre-loved products.

Megan’s Dos and Don’ts

Good track record

When flogging your old items, particularly clothing, Megan advised taking clear photos with a white background.

Another pro tip the experienced salesperson shared her video was going crazy in the description box – Megan insisted that using “lots of descriptive words” would “draw people to your page”.

The best keywords shoppers seem to use include “Y2K,” “retro,” and “holiday dress,” especially with summer just around the corner.

Meanwhile, when it comes to pricing, the genius at Vinted advised pricing a little higher – “since you’ll be getting offers most of the time.”

Avoid a warning

Is one of your items not selling? Some Vinted pros swear by deleting the listing to reupload the piece a second time.

But while this sometimes works, Megan revealed how a small mistake can cause problems on the platform.

In the clip, the Vinted guru recommends not reusing the same snap if you’ve already deleted a listing.

”This can signal and give a warning.”

Flogging the naive

Gave in to all the hype and bought that viral dupe everyone is raving about – but now you realize it’s a bit of a disappointment?

While it might be tempting to flog it on Vinted in the hopes that someone else will like it, Megan asked to avoid that.

“Do not post any copies or replicas – this got my account deleted,” she warned.

According to the popular site, first launched in 2008 by two Lithuanians, listing “counterfeit items on Vinted may lead to the suspension or permanent blocking of your account.”

To avoid this, sellers are advised to take and upload their own photos clearly showing the “authenticity of the item”.

Megan also recommended attaching photos of tags “as if Vinted thinks your item is not authentic.”

How to avoid negative reviews

Many Vinted fans rely on reviews to avoid unpleasant surprises, like a recent dark discovery made by a buyer – so it’s essential to keep your profile as customer-approved as possible.

To ensure no potential buyer is put off by any negative feedback, Megan emphasized the importance of sharing images of any stains and damage.
