The Ultimate Beginners guide to Vinted

The Ultimate Beginners guide to Vinted. Start with taking the pictures. Here's a checklist for you guys: natural lighting, white background, a nice hanger, for example a wooden one, and an optional extra touch like a little plant in the background. This gives things a very professional feel and I think it's just more likely to get your item sold because it builds a bit more trust. Number two is what to send your item in. Personally, I do use the pink packaging bags. I literally buy them on TikTok shop because they're under five pounds and they're free shipping, so it works out at such a minimal amount each bag because I think they come in a pack of 60 with a bunch of different sizes. Reason I use these is mostly for speed. Because I'm selling a lot of stuff on Vinted, it's very quick for me to literally just rip off the sticky bit, put it in the bag and send it. And it also gives me something to look forward to because I feel like a girl boss small business sending off these pink packages. I also think it increases the chances that you're going to get a good review just because it comes in again more of a professional packaging. However, you do not need these at all. I think the only thing for packaging is make sure that it's clean. You can use a new bin bag, like there's nothing wrong with that or like a Tesco bag. Make sure it's secure, make sure it's waterproof and you're good. Okay, the last tip is on pricing. I personally price things two pounds higher than the very minimum I'd be willing to take for it. I personally prioritize quantity over quality when it comes to the amount of money that I'm getting in. So I'd be more likely to sell 10 things for one pound each than one thing for 10 pounds, basically. Fully ranges, there have been a number of times where I've sold like a leather jacket and I've sold it for 50 pounds. You do just have to do a bit of market research. Click on Vinted, look at what other people are selling things for. Another tip I'll give you is that if you have an item up and it's getting loads of likes but no one is buying it and no one is sending you offers, it's probably priced too high. People are liking it because they like the item and they want to save it and they want to find something like that, but they're not willing to buy your one because you've priced it too high. Comes to pricing overall, just try and remember that if you're selling something on Vinted and it's something you don't want anymore, the only other option would be throwing it in the bin or giving it to a charity shop, for which you'd get nothing. So selling it for even one pound or two pounds is still worth it, especially when you know that someone has hand-selected that item and it's going to a new home where it's hopefully going to be loved. If you'd like a part three, I'd be more than happy to share some more tips and tricks. Vinted has literally kept me afloat as a uni student, I've been doing it for the last three years and it's amazing. I love Vinted.
