Vinted fees explained for sellers (2026)
Vinted’s fee model confuses a lot of new sellers because it works differently from eBay or Depop. Here’s the clear version — and how to make sure you actually profit.
Who pays the fee on Vinted
The headline that surprises people: on Vinted, sellers generally list for free. The buyer pays a “Buyer Protection” fee (plus postage) on top of the item price. So the amount a buyer sees is higher than your listing price, and what you receive is closer to your listing price.
That’s great for sellers — but it changes how you should think about pricing.
Fee structures change and vary by market. Always check Vinted’s current fee page for the exact numbers before you rely on them.
What “free to sell” doesn’t cover
Selling fee-free doesn’t mean profit-free. You still need to account for:
- What you paid for the item (if you bought it to resell)
- Postage, if you cover any of it
- Your time sourcing, listing and shipping
- Tax, if you’re trading over the £1,000 allowance
A £15 sale on an item that cost you £8 isn’t £15 profit — it’s £7 minus your time and any postage.
Price so you still win
Because the buyer pays the protection fee, you can price your item at the true value you want to receive. But always check it against your cost: if you can’t clear a margin you’re happy with after everything, it’s not worth listing.
Know your real take-home automatically
Doing this maths per item, across Vinted, eBay and Depop, is exactly where resellers lose track.
