Make money on Vinted: how much and how in 2026

Quick answer: how much can you earn on Vinted? There is no guaranteed income: it all depends on the number of listings online, their quality, the regularity of your posts and the stock you have. On fees, it is the buyers who pay Vinted fees at the time of payment (usually 5% + 0.70 EUR, according to the Vinted help centre), and they are added to the final price of the order. Income depends mostly on the time you put in, your sourcing and your consistency, with no guaranteed amount.

You are already selling a few items and want to know how to go further? Here is what really varies a Vinted income, how platform remuneration works, and how to get out of your own wardrobe limit.

How much do you really earn on Vinted?

There is no official average income, and the figures that circulate are rarely verifiable. What we can say is that income depends on four factors:

• The number of active listings: the more items online, the more sales opportunities
• The quality of listings: photos, precise title, complete description, consistent price
• Regularity: a profile with up-to-date listings has more chance of being seen than a profile left aside
• Available stock: it is what limits most sellers, once their wardrobe is empty

To estimate your own potential, measure your data: how many listings you publish per week, how many sales they generate, and at what average price. It is more reliable than any web average.

What should you sell on Vinted to make money?

What resells well is nothing mysterious: it is pieces that buyers are already looking for, in good condition, that you can describe precisely. Here are the guidelines we keep, with no promise of earnings. To go further, our guide on what to sell on Vinted details the categories.

What resells well

• Well-known brands in good condition: a recognisable brand and a clean piece with no major flaw reassure the buyer.
• Seasonal pieces: highlight what people need right now, coats in autumn, dresses in spring.
• Shoes, bags and coats: many people have too many, often in excellent condition, and no longer wear them.
• Children's clothes: parents renew the wardrobe every season and every time the size changes.
• Coherent bundles: several pieces in the same size and style, which the buyer saves on by taking together.

What is better to avoid

Items with holes, stains or out of season waste your time: photos, listing, messages, for a piece that does not sell. Very cheap fast fashion takes the same effort for a tiny gain. As for counterfeits, they are forbidden by the platform: never take the risk.

How to choose your niche

Start from what you can recognise: a size, a style, a type of piece whose quality you spot quickly. Specialising helps you choose faster, describe better and know what price to aim for. Before buying or accepting a piece, ask yourself three questions: who would the buyer be, at what time of year, and could you photograph it cleanly? Then look at your own sales and keep what sells quickly. Our article on how to find your niche helps you with this sorting. And if you want a complete framework for sourcing and listing, the Dresskool Vinted training walks you through it step by step.

How Vinted makes money

Vinted finances its operations through mandatory platform fees, paid by the buyer at the time of payment. According to its help centre, these fees depend on the item, the order value and the type of order (single item or batch); they generally include a percentage of the price, as well as fixed fees, usually 5% + 0.70 EUR. They are used in particular to apply the refund policy when the item, purchased from a non-professional seller, is lost, damaged or does not match its description. Details are on the Vinted buyer protection page.

For you, the seller, the result is simple: you set the price of the item, and Vinted fees are added to the total the buyer pays. Think about it when you compare your price to other listings.

The 3 levers to increase your Vinted income

1. Publish regularly

Putting a few items online each week is better than a big batch once a quarter: your listings stay recent and your profile stays alive. Re-listing at reasonable intervals your listings that do not sell is part of the method, within the platform rules.

2. Look after each listing

A bright photo on a neutral background, several angles, a pressed item, a title with the brand, size and colour, a description with the condition and measurements: every detail reduces buyer questions. Our guide on Vinted listing descriptions details this point.

3. Increase the volume of items online

The more listings you have, the more chances you have to sell each week. Volume poses a practical problem: where to find so many pieces to sell? That is what the following model solves.

Consignment: getting out of your wardrobe limit

The main brake for Vinted sellers is stock. Consignment means selling other people's clothes on Vinted in exchange for an agreed commission with each one. You handle the listing, the sale and the shipping; you do not buy the stock.

This model changes three things: you do not tie up money in stock, you are no longer limited by your own wardrobe, and you can combine it with regular resale. In return, it requires organisation: an inventory of each piece received, a record of what is sold, and clear accounts with each consigner. Our article on paying money to consigners explains this last point.

To publish a large volume without spending your evenings on it, Dresskool training relies on the DressKare extension: bulk publication, stock management and consigner tracking.
