It may seem like a hassle to take photos and list your items.
But one mum has explained why Vinted is 100% worth using, after revealing its incredible success on the sales app.

She took it to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook Group to post a snapshot that showed her in-app balance – which was £899.22.
“For anyone who doesn’t think that Vinted is worth it, I highly recommend it!” she wrote alongside.
“I sell all my kids and my old clothes for £1 or £2 to get rid of them and over time it adds up.”
She added that she never realized how much her sales had increased until Vinted updated and showed her.
People in the comments section were quick to praise the woman, while also revealing their own Vinted success stories.
“I love Vinted, I’m getting rid of so much stuff, just putting it in for £1 or £2,” wrote one.
“I do this too, I love it,” added another.
“I’ve been using Vinted since 2021, I can’t believe how much I’ve gained! (Family of 9, lots to clean!!),” said a third, sharing a screenshot showing that she has earned £3,963 since she started using Vinted.
“It helped a lot!”
“I agree, when mine showed up I was shocked!” someone said, showing their “earnings to date” currently stand at £7,627.
“Although it has been selling for a few years.
“One thing I know is that it leaves my account as quickly as it comes in!”
“Absolutely agree!” another wrote.
“I make a fortune there!”
“It seems like a lot, but honestly don’t reveal it,” warned another person.
“I price higher and do package deals, I literally joined 3 months ago and made £874.”
However, not everyone agreed with Vinted’s positive assessment.
“Vinted sucks – half the things I try to buy get canceled because the sellers can’t find it or something!” one wrote.
To which another said: “That’s because they are also selling on eBay.
“I saw the same thing on both sites – that’s why this happens sometimes.”
Why I hate Vinted, a real-life view
Fabulous associate editor Sarah Barns explains why she hates Vinted:
He’s the king of second-hand fashion, but I hate Vinted.
Then I spoke. Yes, it prevents items from going to landfills. Yes, it helps create additional income for many.
And yes, you can get things at bargain prices. But it’s just not my (shopping) bag.
From my own experience, I have bought ‘cheap’ packages of children’s clothes only for them to arrive dirty and deformed.
Plus, with postage and buyer protection, they didn’t seem like a big deal. I prefer to go to the local charity shop or supermarket to buy children’s things.
I also bought more premium high street items – a dress from Arket and a skirt from Cos – only to find they didn’t fit properly and the colors were faded.
I tried selling things but gave up after my £110 Veja trainers got lost in the post and I spent two hours on the phone with Royal Mail.
One big complaint is that it still encourages you to spend, spend, spend. I’m not sure if I needed the items I bought, I just didn’t want to lose them.
Also, reselling fast fashion items – a £5 Shein top on Vinted for £17.50 – makes me a little queasy.
Buying clothes has become a daily hobby for many people, when in reality it should be something done once or twice a year out of necessity.
But the 18 million users of the Vinted app clearly disagree with me.
“I didn’t know they did that, they put it on two websites, but they are stupid sellers,” replied a third.
“eBay takes a huge chunk of fees after they sell your items, so they lose money right away!
“It’s best for them to sell on Vinted because there are no fees and it’s an instant sale – so don’t wait for an offer to end or for payment.
“That’s why I left eBay… when I found out how much per item I was actually getting, it wasn’t worth it.”
