The short answer
Clean and check each item, photograph it in daylight on a plain background, and fill in every listing field: brand, size, condition, colour and material. Price from what similar items have actually sold for, accept reasonable offers and bundle discounts, and post quickly with the shipping option the buyer chose. Fees, shipping options and rules differ by country and change over time, so check Vinted's help centre for your country before you start.
Step 1: choose what to sell
Clothes, shoes, bags and accessories are the core of Vinted, and many markets also have categories for home items, books, toys and electronics. Items from known brands, good basics, children's clothes and vintage pieces tend to find buyers. Heavily worn, stained or very cheap fast fashion often sells slowly, so consider bundling it. Our guide to selling clothes online helps you sort what is worth listing.
Step 2: prepare each item
- Wash or air it, remove lint and pet hair, and steam out creases.
- Check for stains, holes, pilling, broken zips and missing buttons, and note them.
- Find the brand, size and fabric labels. Measure the item flat, because sizes vary between brands.

Step 3: take good photos
- A clear front photo first, the whole item in soft daylight.
- The back, close-ups of fabric and details, and the brand and size labels.
- Every flaw, up close.
- Optionally, the item worn or on a hanger to show the fit.

Step 4: write the listing
Use a clear title with the brand, item type and key detail, such as colour or style. Fill in every field, because buyers filter by brand, size, condition, colour and price. In the description, give measurements, material, fit and an honest note on any wear. Choose the condition level carefully, as buyers can open a claim if an item is not as described.
Step 5: price it
Search Vinted for the same brand and item type in a similar condition and see which listings have sold, then compare with sold prices elsewhere. Price a little above your lowest acceptable price if you are happy to take offers. Lowering the price on an older listing can bring it back to the attention of buyers who favourited it. Read how to price used items for a general method.
Step 6: offers, messages and bundles
- Reply politely and quickly. Answer questions about measurements and condition precisely.
- Accept, decline or counter offers inside the app.
- Consider turning on bundle discounts, so buyers who take several items get a set discount. Bundles save on postage and clear stock faster. See how to bundle items to sell.
- Keep the whole conversation and payment on Vinted. Requests to pay or talk elsewhere are a common scam sign. Our guide to avoiding scams when selling online lists more warning signs.
Step 7: pack and ship
When an item sells, the buyer usually chooses the shipping option and Vinted gives you a label or code for it. Pack the item neatly and securely, keep it dry, and send it within the time Vinted gives you. Keep your proof of postage. Payment is normally released to your balance once the buyer confirms everything is fine or after a set period without a problem being reported.
Step 8: after the sale
Leave feedback for the buyer and ask them to do the same. Good reviews help future sales. If a buyer reports a problem, respond through the app and follow Vinted's process. Keep your photos of the item until the sale is complete.
Where WorthAI fits
Before you list, scan the item with WorthAI to identify the likely brand and style and see an estimated worth with a range, a suggested asking price and a reading of buyer demand, along with the marketplace listings behind the estimate. Check that those listings match your item's size, version and condition, and tap Refine Result if the match is wrong. Use the estimate as research, then set your own price for Vinted.
