Selling On Vinted UK

What Is Vinted?

Vinted UK (inc £15 bonus) is one of the UK's biggest second-hand marketplaces, allowing users to buy and sell pre-loved clothing, shoes, accessories and other items. Unlike traditional marketplaces, Vinted is designed to make selling simple. You can upload items quickly, connect with millions of potential buyers and turn things you no longer need into extra cash. Many people use Vinted casually to clear out their wardrobe, while others use it as a reselling side hustle by sourcing items cheaply and selling them for a profit.

Vinted Sign Up Bonus (£15 Voucher)

New Vinted users can get up to £15 in Vinted vouchers when they sign up using a referral link and complete the required steps.

The bonus is split into two parts:

Step 1: List 3 items within 7 days

After creating your Vinted account, you need to list 3 items for sale within your first 7 days.

Once completed, you’ll receive a £5 Vinted voucher to spend on the platform.

Step 2: Sell an item within 30 days

To unlock the remaining bonus, you need to successfully sell an item to another Vinted user within your first 30 days using the Buy now button.

Once completed, you’ll receive a further £10 in Vinted vouchers, provided as:

• 2 × £5 Vinted vouchers

By completing both steps, you’ll receive £15 total in Vinted vouchers.

How Do Vinted Vouchers Work?

The vouchers can be used to buy items on Vinted, but they are not cash and cannot be withdrawn to your bank account.

The voucher rules:

• You can only use one voucher per order

• Your order must be £15 or more (excluding shipping costs and Buyer Protection fees)

• Vouchers are automatically applied at checkout

• Vouchers expire after 90 days

• Vouchers cannot be transferred to another user or exchanged for cash

For example, if you receive the full £15 bonus, you’ll have three separate £5 vouchers. You could use one £5 voucher on a £20 item, reducing the item cost to £15. To use all three vouchers, you would need to place three separate qualifying orders.

If you’re planning to start selling on Vinted, the bonus is a useful way to get some extra credit towards buying items on the platform.

How Does Selling On Vinted Work?

The process is simple:

1. Find Items To Sell

The easiest way to start is by selling things you already own:

✅ Clothes you no longer wear
✅ Shoes and trainers
✅ Bags and accessories
✅ Children's clothes
✅ Unwanted gifts
✅ Vintage items

Once you understand what sells, some sellers move into sourcing items specifically to resell. Popular places to find stock include: Charity shops, Car boot sales, Clearance sections, Facebook Marketplace & Outlet stores.

2. Create Your Listing

A good listing can make a big difference. Include:

✅ Clear photos
✅ Multiple angles
✅ Accurate condition details
✅ Brand name
✅ Size information
✅ Any flaws or wear

Good photos are especially important on Vinted as buyers usually scroll quickly through hundreds of listings.

3. Sell Your Item

When someone buys your item, Vinted provides postage options and handles the transaction. Once the buyer receives the item and the sale is completed, your money becomes available in your Vinted balance. You can either use this money to buy other items on Vinted or withdraw it.

Yes, but how much you make depends on what you sell and how much effort you put in.
