How to make money on Vinted

The short answer

1. Start by selling what you own. On Vinted’s euro sites selling is free: the seller receives the full item price and the buyer pays the Buyer Protection fee (Vinted fees).
2. Price each item against the same model and condition with the price checker.
3. To resell, pick one category you can judge and set a maximum buying price before you search (profit calculator).
4. Watch that search for new listings under your limit: the cheapest ones are the ones other buyers want too.
5. Record every purchase and sale, and follow Vinted’s rules: regular professional selling belongs on a Pro account.

We publish no income figures: what you make depends on what you buy, at what price, and what sells.

Way 1: sell what you already own

This is the low-risk start, because you buy no stock. On Vinted’s euro sites the buyer pays a Buyer Protection fee of €0.70 plus 5% of the item price on top of the price, and the seller receives the full item price. The Vinted fee calculator shows the fee for any price and how we checked it.

• Price against the same model, size and condition, not against the brand in general.
• Photograph labels, measurements and any flaws: every question your listing answers is one a buyer does not have to ask.
• Name the exact model and size as written on the label.

Way 2: resell. Your margin is set when you buy

Reselling means buying below what similar items usually ask and selling near the typical price. Our own data shows how wide that gap can be. For each model below, “cheapest quarter asked” is the price a quarter of listings were at or below; “typical ask” is the median.

Asking prices on vinted.be, observed 2026-10-18 to 2026-11-01, all conditions together, so part of each gap is condition. Asking prices are not completed sales, and a listing in the cheapest quarter is not always a bargain: check its condition. Prices by condition for 34 models are in the Vinted price guide.

Do the maths before you buy

Two examples from the table, before the shipping you pay to receive the item, packaging and your time:

• Nike Dunk Low: buy at €17 and pay €1.55 Buyer Protection. If it then sells at the typical €26, you receive the full €26: €7.45 left.
• The North Face Nuptse: buy at €65 and pay €3.95 Buyer Protection. If it then sells at the typical €100, €31.05 left.

Small tickets leave little room once shipping is counted; a lower sale price, or no sale, changes everything. Enter your own costs in the profit calculator to get a maximum buying price, then use it as the price filter of your Vinted search.

Finding the cheap listings first

Listings in the cheapest quarter are visible to every buyer on Vinted. Vinted’s saved searches show a counter of new items when you open them, not a notification for each match (Vinted Help). That is the gap an alert tool fills.

SNYPD watches your search, with your price limit and filters, and sends a push alert when a new listing matches. Measured in our own logs (6-7 November 2026, 68,388 checks across 110 searches): the median gap between two checks of the same search was 60 seconds, and 88% of checks came within 2 minutes. It never logs in to your Vinted account and never buys: you open the listing and decide. For the other jobs (pricing, crosslisting, bookkeeping), see the best Vinted reselling tools.

Rules, records and tax

Vinted’s commercial-selling guidance says professional selling belongs on an eligible Pro account and excludes new commercial stock bought for resale, even for Pro sellers (Vinted Help). Whether your reselling counts as a business, and what tax you owe, depends on your country: check your tax authority’s own guidance.

Keep a record of each item: purchase price and date, costs, sale proceeds and what is still unsold. That record is what tells you whether reselling actually makes you money. The step-by-step method is in how to resell on Vinted.

Questions

How much money can you make on Vinted?

There is no reliable average: it depends on what you sell, what you paid for it and how many items you list. In our data the gap between the cheapest quarter of listings and the typical ask was €9 for Nike Dunk Low and €35 for The North Face Nuptse, but a gap is not profit until the item sells. We make no income promises.

Is reselling on Vinted worth it?

It can be when you know the category and buy below a limit you calculated in advance. Count every cost: the Buyer Protection fee and shipping when you buy, packaging, unsold stock and your time.

What sells best on Vinted?

Vinted does not publish sales rankings. Our brand and model guide lists models with enough listings to compare prices: a starting point for research, not a sales ranking.

Do you pay tax on Vinted sales?

It depends on your country and on whether you sell as a business. Selling your own used belongings is often treated differently from regular reselling for profit; check your tax authority’s guidance. This page is not tax advice.
