Vinted fees for sellers: what you really pay
Short version: you pay nothing to sell. The buyer pays a fee on top of your price. Here is how it works, with the numbers from Vinted's own help pages.
You pay nothing to list an item and nothing when it sells. The money that reaches your Vinted balance is the price you set. The only fee, called Buyer Protection, is paid by the buyer, on top of your price.
What you pay as a seller: nothing
Vinted says it plainly in its help centre: there are no fees for listing items or for selling them. When a sale goes through, you receive the amount you set for the item. Source: Is selling on Vinted free?
There is no percentage taken from you and no fixed cost per sale. If you sell a jacket for 20 EUR, 20 EUR goes into your balance.
What the buyer pays: 5% plus 0.70 EUR
Every order on Vinted carries a Buyer Protection fee. Vinted's price list puts it at 5% of the item price plus 0.70 EUR, VAT included. It is added at checkout and the buyer pays it. Source: Vinted price list
| Your price | Buyer fee | The buyer pays |
|---|---|---|
| 5.00 EUR | 0.95 EUR | 5.95 EUR |
| 10.00 EUR | 1.20 EUR | 11.20 EUR |
| 20.00 EUR | 1.70 EUR | 21.70 EUR |
| 50.00 EUR | 3.20 EUR | 53.20 EUR |
| 100.00 EUR | 5.70 EUR | 105.70 EUR |
Vinted says the exact amount can change with the type of order, for example a bundle. The table is the normal case for one item.
The fee gives the buyer a refund if the item never arrives or is not as described. It is their money, not yours. If a sale falls through, you are not charged anything.
The buyer compares totals, not your price. On a 5 EUR item, the 0.70 EUR alone is 14% on top. On a 50 EUR item it is barely 1%. That is why very cheap items sell worse than the price alone would suggest.
Shipping: the buyer pays that too
Postage is added to the buyer's total, at the rate of the carrier they choose. Nothing comes out of your balance.
The one discount that comes out of your money
A bundle discount is set by you, in your settings. It is a percentage off for buyers who take two, three or more of your items, and you choose the percentage and where it stops. Source: Set up a discount for your closet
This one does come off your side. The same 15% is easy on an item you bought for 2 EUR and wipes out the profit on one you bought for 18 EUR. Check your low-margin items before you switch it on.
What you can choose to pay
Vinted has two paid options for sellers, and both are optional. Bumps push one item back up the results for 3 or 7 days, and the price depends on the item price and the days you pick. Showcase puts your whole wardrobe in front of more people. You see the price before you pay, and nothing is charged unless you press the button.
Buyers can also pay for item verification (10 EUR) or electronics verification (5 EUR). Those are paid by the buyer, not by you.
Pro accounts are different
All of this is for private sellers. Vinted Pro accounts, for businesses, have their own fees. If you sell as a company, read Vinted's Pro terms instead. Source: Buyer Protection Pro fee
Being reported to the tax office is not a fee
If you make at least 30 sales or earn more than 2,000 EUR in a calendar year, Vinted sends your details to the tax authority the following year. This is a European rule called DAC7. Source: Vinted on DAC7
Vinted itself says that meeting the threshold does not mean your sales are taxable. Selling your own used clothes for less than you paid is not income. We explain it in Vinted tax and DAC7.
The fees are the easy part. The hard part is what each item cost you, what the bundle discount took, and what is left after postage. Flogit works that out per item and per month, from your own Vinted account, on your own computer.
