Has anyone gone back to ebay as its now free to list?
Can you sell anything on Vinted or just clothes?
Has Vinted overtaken Ebay now?

I'm still on Vinted. I find it an easier site to navigate. EBay's site just feels cluttered and less user friendly.

I have returned to buying clothes on eBay. It seems to have adopted some ideas from Vinted but in a more user friendly system. Vinted just seems chaotic with so much rubbish which can be hard to avoid.

I'm still with eBay but haven't sold anything on there in about four years - but going to have a clear out before Christmas now that the free listings have begun. I'm having to pay for a new clutch so that's going to eradicate a big chunk of money that I'd like to replace before the end of the year. Also have a 100% rating on eBay so might as well utilise it.

I never left eBay. Haven't heard good things about Vinted.

Is it only clothes you can sell on Vinted?

No, you can sell all sorts of things on there

Never left it, Vinted is an overpriced cesspit.

I guess ebay have had to it make it free to compete with vinted and marketplace.
The person who started ebay is a billionaire so hasn't done too badly out of it.

I only use Vinted now.

Vinted moving into electronics etc, is asking for trouble. They can't resolve issues around cheap clothes so not sure I would ever buy expensive electronics on there. You would have no protection if things go wrong.

eBay is much better for buyers. You have protection if there are issues. Vinted is a bit of a cowboy outfit - I've still had loads of bargains on there but if things go wrong Vinted are no help!

eBay is still far far bigger than Vinted and great if you want to sell internationally.

I never left ebay and I've never used vinted
