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

I’ve just had a look and some of the pricing is crazy. £5 for second hand Primark shorts?!

It’s probably not worth selling the supermarket and cheaper brands on there. It’s the postage and buyer fee that adds up and can quickly make an item cost most then buying brand new.

I only look at brands like The White Company and Jo Jo Maman Bebe, occasionally John Lewis, Mamas and Papas or M&S, which are mid-range to begin with.

I saw a cute little cardigan from M&S but the seller wanted £8 for it and with the postage (£2.95) and the Vinted fee of around £1 it made the item just as expensive as buying it new in M&S. I think it sells for £12 in store. Offered the seller £5 but she declined and said she only does bundle discounts. Which was a measly 5% off when buying 3 of her items, all of which were basically priced just under full retail price but all were used. Really wasn’t worth it, so I bought new. I got the feeling she might be a business seller looking at the sheer volume of sales though.

If you’ve got big bundles you really want to sell, I would try a car boot sale or even FB marketplace where someone can just collect. If it’s all good condition and you don’t need to sell it, you could try donating to a baby bank?

Love Vinted for buying but not selling. I've recently got my daughter (11 months) 3 M&S sun safe protection swimsuits all brand new with tags on for our holiday for £4 each. Some beautiful summer dresses with tags on for £2/£3 each and myself some H&M sandals brand new for £5. I've tried to sell DD's old clothes (ones that were still immaculate) but ended up taking them to charity shop.

On Vinted people tend to look for branded items rather than supermarket names, it's hard to make money even on the bigger brands tbh, people don't want to pay very much.

I wouldn’t look online for things like that. I’d pick up baby items in the supermarket, when I see them. Or something good like a nice coat / jumper in a charity shop, when I pop in. Anyone you pass them on to? Most of my kid’s clothes are hand-me-downs.

Exactly this. Let's take your example of £1 for three items, but with your bundle discount. That takes it to £1.50 for three items. Then they have the Vinted fee of maybe 80p, plus £3 postage. £5.30 in total for three second hand items isn't usually worth it, especially supermarket brands.

I've only found it worth it for items from "posh" brands. Even then, you're still looking at under £5 an item. Jojo Maman Bebe is the one that sells best for me as it's a middle ground- people want the brand but it still sells cheap.

For supermarket or High Street stuff, I've always had to put it on as a bundle to get anyone to buy. So 3 or 4 t shirts or sleepsuits for a fiver or something.

You make very little. I sold big 10 item bundles on eBay for like £2.99 plus postage, and eBay took fees from that so it was about £2, not worth the trip to the post office! John Lewis etc stuff might go for £4-£5 for one item though.

What's your username x I buy all my babies clothes from there x

I managed to sell 5 brand new vests from next, for £4. Think they were about £15 originally

Personally I'm more likely to buy brands like JL, Jojo, frugi etc second hand has you feel like you are saving money. But second hand supermarket I'm always put off as what you buy it for second hand is closer the the retail price.

Also baby/child clothes just swamp these websites, it's hard to see the wood through the trees.

It could be something like that. Maybe someone on here knows how to promote the items?
Vinted can be a bit odd like that.

I've sold a lot of Boden, John Lewis, Next stuff on there. I wouldn't sell supermarket stuff unless in a bundle. I disagree though - I usually sell in four or fives so people can see what they are getting. I've made enough to make it worth while although not as much as friends who have sold ex designer stuff (Cezanne level).
I see it as free money and this year I've sold enough to buy all their clothes from there too without actually spending any money.

I tend to upload in one go then it goes and I just take in one go to the lockers.

I am not sure what you expect to get for them, but I would expect to pay £5 for 20-25 supermarket branded baby items on Facebook or £3 on Vinted because of postage and fees. Vinted is a place for brand names but it’s more about the buyer getting a bargain than the seller making lots of money.

As a seller, I price age 4 Next jeans in excellent condition at £1.50, but they are more likely to go as a bundle, say 3 pairs for £4.

As a buyer, I get BNWT G-Star jeans for £10 instead of paying £100 retail.

Hi I sell on vinted my ds clothes. I normally put them in a bundle for very cheap as the buyer has to pay postage and such so that 2 pound quickly becomes 6. They shift very fast. So for example I put 8 jumpers up for 3 pound etc. I've also donated to children charity shops but I sell a little on vinted and then use my balance to buy some more clothes for him. We've got some amazing bargains from there and it's all about helping eachother x

If I have lots of stuff that is supermarket brands I chuck a bundle on Facebook

We're doing it and have made over £200 (three kids both boy and girls) so it's been worth it for us.
Have you tried going on the vinted Facebook pages to promote your page?

It's not about feeling good or bad!
It's about trying to get rid of them, isn't it?
Someone else sold supermarket clothes, so maybe you've just been a bit unlucky.
People love a bargain, though.

Supermarket stuff is so cheap that if you can afford it on vinted - you can probably afford to buy it new and have the benefit of no postage and a refund if it doesn't fit etc.

I sell loads on vinted but it is always higher stuff - lowest level is probably zara.

When dd was little, buying and selling 2nd hand clothes wasn't a thing so I bought most of her stuff from charity shops.

If it had been around back then, I would have done the same while she was a baby or toddler as they grow out of things quickly and aren't interested in fashion.

I might have done it when she was older if she became interested in brands or wanted something special for a special occasion.

YABU. I’ve sold loads and mine is mostly supermarket stuff.

Don't upload loads at once; they’ll sit there for months. You need to upload little and often to keep yourself fresh.
