Vinted

Is Vinted worth it for clothing sellers?

Vinted is a secondhand fashion marketplace with a U.S. site, and it charges sellers no selling fee. What you keep depends on the shipping route you pick and how soon you need the money.

Vinted seller fees

Vinted's help pages put the costs on the buyer: the total at checkout includes the Vinted fee and shipping. Vinted renamed its Buyer Protection fee to the Vinted fee and says the change is not a new or additional fee. Shipping only comes out of your side if you choose custom shipping.

How and when Vinted pays you

A buyer's payment sits in your pending balance until the order is completed, then moves to your available balance. From there you can withdraw to a U.S. bank account or let it pay for your next Vinted purchase. Vinted doesn't publish a withdrawal fee. It also doesn't publish a way to get money faster than a standard bank withdrawal.

How to start selling on Vinted

You sign up on Vinted's U.S. site or app, then activate a Vinted Wallet before your first sale ships. Vinted says its payment provider, Adyen, collects the identity details and that Vinted doesn't store the documents you send. Each sale comes with a prepaid label or a QR code, depending on the carrier. Vinted says to ship with the provider the buyer chose, because tracking won't update otherwise.

How much Vinted sellers make

Vinted doesn't publish typical, average or median seller earnings for the U.S. Its launch announcement says sellers "keep every dollar they make" because there are no selling fees, which describes the fee and not what a seller earns. Vinted also publishes no time-per-sale figure, so your hourly return is yours to work out (see how to calculate your real hourly rate).

Can Vinted suspend your seller account?

Vinted's ban page separates temporary bans from permanent ones, and lists the reasons for each. Selling outside Vinted's payment system and selling for commercial purposes are both listed as reasons for a temporary ban. Vinted's terms add that it can block an account or take other corrective action for security or fraud concerns raised by its payment provider. If Adyen can't verify an ID document, Vinted says your wallet may be suspended. For general steps after a lockout, see how to appeal a gig app deactivation.

Is Vinted legit?

Scams that use the Vinted name

Taxes on Vinted income

Vinted's terms say it isn't responsible for tax liabilities or reporting obligations that apply to you. Vinted collects and remits sales tax in the states its help page lists, and says that tax doesn't change a seller's earnings. In a state where Vinted doesn't collect, a seller who passes that state's nexus threshold may have to collect and remit it themselves. Vinted doesn't publish how it issues Form 1099-K to U.S. sellers.

The IRS says an online marketplace must send a Form 1099-K when payments total over $20,000 in more than 200 transactions, though it may send one for lower amounts. The IRS also says you must report gig economy income even when no form is issued. See taxes on side income for how the rules work.
