If you’ve already listed outfits on the app, now might be a good time to check your photos — especially when you see X-rated items in the background.
At first glance, you might have a hard time figuring out what’s going on with this Vinted listing.
Even the most attentive viewers might not be able to spot the adult toys hidden behind the Balenciaga style. mini handbag.
However, in the top left corner are some cute, shiny handcuffs.
There’s even a large glass sex toy that matches the floral bedding, as well as a smaller metal toy that shines against the lighting.
While most of us will never upload to the app again, luckily the Vinted salesman managed to see the funny side.
Instead of just removing the bag and putting it back on the list, they later shared the embarrassing moment in a hilarious viral video.
Posted on TikTok, the user confessed in the caption: “This went on for a long time before I realized.”
Needless to say, the racy video went viral on social media and was viewed by over 86,000 people.
In the comments, one user even revealed that they saw the listing on Vinted and said: “Oh my God, I swear I saw this in my recommendations! And I never noticed.
To which the seller admitted: “Almost 24 hours passed without me noticing.”
Others also joked about the NSFW items taking a backseat, with another adding: “I love the handcuffs on the back.”
A third then joked: “She was going to sell these later.”
While the Vinted seller managed to see the funny side, it’s a reminder to clean up your background before taking photos for listings.
One experienced seller even claims to have made over £1,200 on the resale site just by being specific about the photos he uploads.

Although it may seem too good to be true, Rebecca Hilliard insists that her clothes sell quickly when the main image is her wearing them.
Sharing the hack on TikTok, she explained that she made over 121 Vinted sales in January and February using this method.
“I have found that my items gain much more traction and sell faster when the cover photo is an image of me actually wearing the item,” she told her followers.
Notably, the savvy seller ensures that the background is organized in their listings – so that nothing distracts from the product.
If only everyone remembered to free up space before taking photos.

Do you need to pay taxes on items sold on Vinted?
QUICK tax facts from the Vinted team…
- The only time an item may be taxable is if it sells for more than £6,000 and makes a profit (sold for more than you paid for it). You can still use your £3,000 capital gains tax-free allowance to offset it.
- Generally, only commercial sellers who trade for profit (buy goods with the aim of selling them for more than they paid for them) may have to pay taxes. Business sellers trading for profit can use a £1,000 tax break, which has been in place since 2017.
