I’ve made £180k on Vinted in a YEAR – here’s my five tips to guarantee sales & you can’t skip the messaging advice

A SAVVY woman has shared her top five tips for raking in the cash on Vinted.

Whether you are selling your old clothes or trying to make it a side hustle through reselling, this woman has shared how to do it.

The woman, who goes by Reseller Girl on social media, revealed she had made £180,000 in a year on the app.

She said: “My top five reselling tips as someone who has made over £180,000 on Vinted in a year.”

The Vinted pro added that her ensuite was now being used as a stockroom for her Vinted store.

She first shared an image of packages she had to send sprawling across her floor adding that consistent posting was key.

Posting new items every day and at different times of the day will make sure you stay on top of the algorithm.

Since Vinted orders its search results based on the newest items first, this will mean that your items always appear at the top of the site.

The reseller also recommended responding to messages as quickly as possible to get customers to buy.

“Most buyers message several people selling the same item, so replying fast can secure the sale for you,” she explained.

She also said that photo quality was essential and to make sure you have a clear background so people can see the item properly.

Another top tip was to invest in clean bags to post your items in, rather than using cereal boxes or other random packaging.

Last but not least, she recommended posting sold items on the same day of purchase to make sure you get good reviews.

The clip soon went viral on her TikTok account @resellgirl2222 with over 18,000 views and 300 likes.

People were quick to take to the comments and thank her for the tips.

One person wrote: “I get so overwhelmed with about five things to post haha. I don’t seal them until I’m at the locker because I’m scared.”

Do you need to pay tax on items sold on Vinted?

QUICK facts on tax from the team at Vinted...

• The only time that an item might be taxable is if it sells for more than £6,000 and there is profit (sells for more than you paid for it). Even then, you can use your capital gains tax-free allowance of £3,000 to offset it.
• Generally, only business sellers trading for profit (buying goods with the purpose of selling for more than they paid for them) might need to pay tax. Business sellers who trade for profit can use a tax-free allowance of £1,000, which has been in place since 2017.
