Cheapskates on Vinted

List 30 percent higher. I have had prom dresses which are pretty costly and in very Very good condition from a very popular brand listed for 11. Got unreasonable offers but ultimately sold for ten. List higher offer two three pounds off. Don't accept unreasonable lowballs as when they buy it they can try to get refund too sometimes because they either bought it out of budget or try to see if they can get money back. ALWAYS take pictures of packing esp clothes. Many people destroy or do stuff on clothes to get back money. I have encountered a lot of cps 😂

You'd also have to drive to a charity shop. I wouldn't encourage anyone with brand new items maybe worn once to accept at very low prices. That's not reasonable. And op is just asking a tenner so max 15 overall .. that's what you'll still pay at Goodwill if it's in good condition. Not to mention time and drive or pay bus cab to get there. 15 quid for brand new condition items is not unreasonable.

On eBay I have seen people understanding the real retail prices and buying. Not getting shocked at 11 pounds for a new river island party dress with tags and offering 6 pounds. I would rather sell on eBay or give yo charity. I generally sell very old two pound items on vinted but even then people get annoyed asking why it's old. Ummm for two pounds you don't expect the new with tags next dress of season do you. It's just a car boot site where people don't understand prices of brand new items. Better list higher or don't sell

I saw people buy oh Polly dresses for 40 pounds from influencer sellers. Ten quid isn't unreasonable 🙄

It's not a huge bargain - remember that people will be paying £5+ more than what you list when fees and postage are added. And without the possibility of returning it if it doesn't fit.

I only buy stuff on Vinted that is a brand I'm really familiar with so I can be confident of the sizing, something spectacular I've fallen in love with, or is significantly less than I could find in the sales.

I have sold quite a lot on Vinted and it's quite interesting what's sold and what hasn't.

I absolutely love Vinted! I have been selling off a load of old designer stuff that no longer fits since I've gone down a size. The trick is to ask for a bit more than you really expect (as others have said up-thread), and be prepared to say "no" to some of the silly offers.

Sorry, or use a platform that isnt geared up around accepting offers

I don't mind getting offers, at the end of the day it's 2nd hand gear, I am selling stuff I don't want anyone. I would have to drive, park etc to drop it off at a charity shop. It's easier for me to accept a few quid less and know someone is re using my stuff and enjoying it.

I think of offers annoy you, as it's the nature of the beast, maybe use eBay instead as a "buy it now" or find a platform that is geared up around encouraging offers or state in the description "no offers will be accepted"

If I'm selling things online I Witt something among the lines of:

"sorry no offers. This is the lowest price I am prepared to sell for"

I had someone make an offer this week. So I accepted it then they tried to offer even less because postage. Like nope. Tbh I don’t make offers on there and have my stuff set to bundle prices for discounts if you buy more than one thing. Only ever had two offers everyone else has paid the asking price.

I don't get this. Just list it and decline offers that are too low. That's what I do and it's fine. The people who know it's a bargain buy it. It's just adding the offer culture you say annoys you!

Well the seller could be as stupid as me 😳 I’ve sold on Vinted for well over a year, didn’t know I can send an offer in response to a buyers offer 😳 I’ve seen the ‘make an offer’ button and thought, “eh, why on earth would I make an offer to myself for my own item?! 😳😳😳 mortifyingly stupid! 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ My dd recently told me what this actually means 😳😳😆😆 I’m a very sensible, knowledgeable person! In my defence (I mean, there’s really not a defence for this level of stupidity!) .. why don’t they call it ‘make a counteroffer’ button??!

Just decline. I sell for £20-£30 an item on there. I list them for more and accept the inevitable offer of a fiver less every time. I've made £200 in two months.

I agree it's daft sometimes. I put some stuff on fo £2 and was getting £1.20 offers. I think you should be able to turn the offer function off. I always list everything for about 30% more than I want for it now. If it's not sold after a week then I reduce it to what I actually want. Seems a bit of a waste of everyone's time though, I'd rather just list if for the sale price in the first place.

It's not just about the original value, it's about the time and effort you invest in listing the thing, answering enquiries, packing and posting it. Pick a figure below which it's simply not worth your while to go, and stick to it.

Following your example, If I don’t want to accept a low offer, I say I’ve got someone else interested but could do £9 if that works for you?

I think sometimes people like to just get something off!

Protection and postage should be kept in mind when you are both buyer and seller. I see so many Primark tops and etc that are priced so much, inc p&p, that its same for me to go to the actual store and buy new.
Vinted is great though, and you neednt be offended with offers, just refuse and wait for someone else to buy.

You have to remember there are sales all the time so you can easily pick up items at half price at the shops BNWT and retain the right to return if it does not fit or you change your mind...so by ordering on vinted the buyer is taking a risk...I always post and happy to accept a lot less if it's something I won't use and will be just gathering dust...I used to give to charities but I am not too keen now that I know most of the profits go to pay CEO's and the likes instead of actually helping people in need.

I never get offers but I also price competitively to start with and offer bundle discounts. I’ve sold about £100 of baby clothes in the last two weeks. Nearly all of it was second hand to start with so in some cases I’ve made a little bit of money on top of what I’ve sold.

As others said list higher then you want that way when you get an offer, it's sometimes higher then you wanted.

Or see it from the perspective of, you aren't wearing it, so your quids in anyway.

Also, if you only just listed the item, hold on. Lots of likes and then one person jumping in is quite common. I wouldn't take the first or second offer yet. If you want £10, wait it out and next time list it for a bit higher.

you don't make heaps of money on Vinted with things like shoes/higher end items, because people are looking for a bargain and also if they are anything like me, they don't want to pay £15 (£10 item, plus insurance, plus postage) for something that may not fit. I don't mind taking a chance on a cheaper item but don't want to do that with shoes/coats even if branded. Things apparently sell higher price on eBay but I'm not sure they shift as quickly.

If you don't ask you don't get! Better to ask and try your luck! 🤷🏻‍♀️

@anythingbutlillies No definitely not gold shoes, it was a dress. Despatched same day she paid but I never got the money as the item came back to me. Had auto messages saying it was waiting for buyer to collect then it came back to me. I didn't get paid but I got the dress back.

I'm pleased you have posted OP as I feel
Exactly the same ! Everytime I put something up people immediately offer a lower price. Like you I am not asking ridiculous prices and now as someone else suggested I am posting with inflated prices.

I like Vinted for the speed of it compared to EBay but if something is posted for £5 eg a Zara top then that's a realistic price and you will end up paying more in postage
