To think selling baby clothes on vinted isn't worth it?

I think the Vinted algorithm might come into play. But I think Vinted is just saturated really. If you sell something for £1 I find too often it isn't bundled up.with other things. It's a pita to post one £1 item. As pp say that £1 costs the buyer £5+

Because its supermarket stuff. I only sell designer stuff on vinted and donate supermarket brand.

That advice works from a buyer’s point of view, but not really for a seller.

For a seller they need to list little and often, so at least one a day, rather than a load at once and being done with it.

My advice would be to list as much as you can. Because of the postage, I only buy from sellers who have a few items I want, rather than just one item I like, so I can choose a bundle from them.

@Denou I meant 10% of the sold price 😂I have sold some Boden things more than the original price before though!

Did you mean 90%?? I buy my dd a lot of Zara on there as she’s a tween and into fashion but never pay more than £5 an item.

I find if you pay to boost one item, then you sell a few bits really quickly and it’s worth it 👍

I buy most of my baby clothes on Vinted, I'd say it's just packed with a lot of choice. I only tend to buy if I can get a bundle from the seller. A £1 jumper isn't great value when you add £3ish postage and fees, but if they're selling a few other things I like it's worth it.
This week I wanted a new dressing gown for baby, there were 350 listings in his size, in very good condition and under £3! Even the exact same dressing gown I liked I had 15 to choose from, so I picked the seller that had other things i wanted to buy

I meant to say that I also have the bundle discounts on, which makes it better value for people and I tend to list supermarket items in bundles of 3 or 4 for £1.50 or something.

I find Vinted very hit and miss. I've put stuff up before and it's sat there for weeks and weeks without selling.

Then last month I had a huge clear out of my Daughters age 3-4 stuff most of it was summer stuff. I put 140 items up on Friday night and 85% of it sold that night. I've never had that happen before, my phone was going mad with notifications.

Most of it was from Next but there were a few supermarket items in there. But everything was listed for £1 an item, a few bits with tags on still were slightly more, a next coat I sold for £5 and a Hatley coat (unworn) sold for £4. I've made nearly £100 last month which, like I said has never happened before. I've not done anything different that time to previous times.

I don’t bother selling supermarket stuff in general, TU stuff can sell alright if it’s bundled sometimes. The problem is even if you sell for £1, by the time you’ve added postage and fees it’s not worth it.

I make pretty good money selling newer Boden stuff, White Company, Jojo and Next. Usually stuff sells at about 90% of the new price and I can almost always sell on things I’ve bought for the same price once we’ve finished!

Where I live, people literally give children's clothes away by the bagful.

I don’t have a baby but sell a lot of kids clothes. Popular brands like fatface, Boden sell really fast but supermarket things do sell as well.

I found selling items separately sold them faster but listing the same age/ type/ season clothing at the same time helps as people make their own bundles. Recently made £35 from selling supermarket items at £1 each.

Also are the photos clear as I would only buy really good condition clothes. I noticed recently that people are selling items with stains for a couple of quid when they should’ve of been binned

I also only list in season clothing.

When my child was younger I sold on Facebook through baby selling pages and got a lot of interest on there.

I also list for a bit more then I want at first then reduce when I have a couple of likes. Sometimes the items go for more then I originally wanted as I listed 50- £1 more.

I sold the baby clothes on facebook marketplace. Each age bundle had everything in that size for £20. Majority supermarket, but also other brands. Meant we got £80 for the first year of clothes, then diminishing returns after that. Stopped being worth it once they started school, as had fewer non-uniform clothes and more damaged.

No. You’ll have been “dropped from the algorithm” because you aren’t posting anything new.

If you post loads of things and then nothing, you won’t have any new views because the NEW stuff is what Vinted promotes.

So if you want to sell, you have to do little and often.

Agree it's the postage. I often try to buy kids stuff off vinted. Then by the time the postage is added on, I may as well buy it new. I've given up trying now unless it's, for example, a NEXT coat for £3 and the postage shifts it up to £6. That's why the branded stuff sells better. But it's hardly worth the effort!

I tend to sell bundles on FB - but we're talking 60-100 items in one bundle including things like John Lewis, Boden etc as well as TU etc. usually sell for between £20-£40 depending on size/amount & usually go. Occasionally I'll split them into Summer/Winter bundles too.

And I don't think it's to do with being supermarket brands. I've sold Tesco sleepsuits on there before that went almost instantly! Whereas John Lewis stuff rarely sells. Weird.

I've had quite a bit of luck selling baby clothes. I do it in batches once my son outgrows them and tend to make a lump sum. Last time I made close to £100 and treated him to a few nice bits that I might not otherwise have bought.

Supermarket clothes usually need to be priced at £1 or in a bundle. Even then I find buyers will bundle them in with other things. Clothes from next, JoJo, M&S and joules sell much better and for slightly higher prices.

That being said, I have favourited then missed out on supermarket clothes BNWT so they do sell. I've only considered items BNWT priced about £2 because after fees, I'd rather just buy that stuff full price. There are so many people on Vinted that use a price point close to what you could buy the item in store, in which case I'd rather buy the item from a shop to get the benefit of a refund policy and no risk that the clothes come smelling bad or in a condition not clear from photos (I've had a couple of disappointments on that front).

If you're selling coats, perhaps consider taking them down and reposting later in the year. I tend to buy for the season ahead so wouldn't consider a coat now but come August/September might be thinking ahead about that.

I sell loads on there! Only put each item on for 1/2 pounds. It's not much but it all adds up. I made £20 last month and used it to buy a new coat for my little one.
Put lots of clear photos on and build up good reviews. I find sets of sleepsuits or vests sell really well.

Nobody is searching for a supermarket brand so your listing will get lost in the sea of 'babygrow' or 'red trousers 3-4mths'.

Take down your listing and put it back up again so Vinted will push up the new listings in people's feed.

I sell quite a lot on vinted, but take supermarket brands to the charity shop.

Yes this. It is only worth it for expensive or branded items.
As a buyer, I prefer to make my own bundles and I buy specific brands I can't find in the UK or expensive. If I get some supermarket stuff, it will usually be bundled with other items.

Habe you tried "nearly new" sales near you or marketplace ?
