Account vetting
First things first, Chloe stressed why checking accounts is so important, as she advised: “The first thing that you shouldn't be doing on is not checking accounts.
“I call this ‘account vetting’ and if I'm buying or selling to somebody, I will go to their account and check their reviews, check their bio, check everything that there is to do with their account.
“If something feels a little bit dodgy, then I just either don't buy from them or I don't sell to them.
“This is so important because so many accounts are made to scam people now, so if they don't have any reviews, if their username looks really weird, if they have nothing in their bio or no picture, stay clear from these sorts of accounts.
“Please please please before you buy anything or before you sell to somebody, you need to make sure that it is a genuine account and that it is an actual person rather than a scam account.”;
Recycle packaging
As well as this, Chloe warned against buying from shop.
She stressed: “Please, please, please do not buy the TikTok shop bags to ship your items in – please recycle.
“Ask your , ask your friends, ask your partner, ask your – collect because this is so much better for the environment and it really, really saves a lot of waste.”;
Collecting items
As well as this, Chloe revealed why collecting parcels quickly is key, as she added: “The third thing that you shouldn't be doing is leaving your parcels when you should be collecting them.
“Please, please, please, if you are a buyer, collect your parcel.
“I buy and sell on Vinted and if something is delivered to the parcel shop, I try and pick it up straight away, because I know how frustrating it is when you are a seller and you're waiting for somebody to pick up their parcel and they just don't.”
Chloe suggested that if you are going on or you've got other commitments and aren't able to collect a parcel, make sure to get it delivered to your instead.
Ditch the perfume
Not only this, but Chloe acknowledged why you must never spray items with before posting them.
She warned: “The fourth thing that you shouldn't be doing – this one is for sellers – is spraying your items with perfume.
If you think your item smells, warn the buyer. I would much rather somebody say that to me than absolutely drown it in perfume

“I'm such a strong believer that you should just leave the item, don't do anything with it like that because people have allergies, people have sensory issues, some people might not like the smell of your perfume.
“It's also a waste of your own perfume as well, don't waste your nice perfume on your Vinted items, just leave it, honestly.
“And if you think your item smells, warn the buyer. I would much rather somebody say that to me than absolutely drown it in perfume.”;
Complete your bio
Finally, the highlighted the importance of ensuring your bio is complete, as she concluded: “The fifth and final thing that you should not be doing is leaving your bio blank.
“Fill in your bio, put a nice picture, put in a little bit of information about you.”
Chloe voiced that doing so makes sales “a little bit more personal” and enables users to identify whether you are a real person or a scam account.
She claimed: “Loads of scam accounts just leave their bio blank, they don't put in a picture, but if you look like a genuine person and you want to buy and , put something in your bio, it's there for a reason.
“If you're a seller, put what days you ship, what sort of items you have, whether you're open to offers.
“It doesn't even have to be a picture of you, it can be of your dog, of a plant, of a nice view, just make it so that it actually looks like a real account.”;
