Brand new DMs not selling on Vinted

No. Weather is still awful.

Too risky to pay that much on Vinted.
EBay would be better for that amount.

People are rightly cautious OP,

Like wondering if you are posting here hoping someone will want to buy them, transfer the money to you and the shoes may not even exist or are fake (sorry). We could all be anyone on the Internet.

If you want someone to take a punt on you being genuine on a site where you don't have a good seller rating you will at least need to offer a bargain.

If you’ve listed them for £85, then with fees and postage it’s cheaper to buy a new pair from DM and then you’re not at risk of being scammed

People aren't looking to just save a fiver on vinted. You'd need to halve the price

£40 I would think
You can't expect to recoup the price you paid!

Maybe people are wary of fakes?
I think they now an authenticity guarantee if you think that might help
Otherwise drop the price and invite sensible offers
Better than taking up space in your place and you spent the money anyway

Why didn't you just return them then as soon as you got them and realised they were too small

It's not about wanting everything for nothing it's about being able to buy with an easy returns policy on the account DM site.

Second hand clothes don't attract VAT so there's no way I'd pay full price for these. You should take off the VAT mark up and then take off another 20% to realistically get a sale.

As others have said, the buyer is taking a risk that they don't fit etc. plus paying postage and 'buyers protection' which doesn't protect them at all.

I've bought DMs on Vinted but I was prepared to risk the money. There's no way I'd pay full price.

Even if it was a flat £85, people would be much more likely to pay the extra £5 for the security of buying from a reputable site where they can’t get scammed. It’s not even £85 though as after the buyer fee and postage, they’ll actually be paying more than £90.

Most people go on Vinted for second-hand bargains rather than looking for brand-new shoes. It’s not to say they won’t sell, but it’s harder because it’s not what Vinted’s main purpose is. You’re best off trying eBay and setting the featured image to a stock photo of the boots so it’s immediately obvious they’re new, or I assume there are dedicated Facebook groups for buying/selling DMs?

Realistically you’re going to have to knock the price down to at least £80 all-in, and be open to offers around £60-£70. I know it’s annoying but this is why you send them back immediately!

Have you put a 'bump' on them on Vinted? You pay a little bit of money and it puts your item higher up on the list, and therefore it gets more views.

I put a bump on all of my items, and they always sell really quickly. Even expensive stuff. I sold DM's for around £90.

Size 8 is very large for a women’s shoe (no offence; I’m size 7, 8 when pregnant!) so that’s narrowing your market significantly.

At £85 when you factor in the buyer protection and delivery costs you would end up paying more than £90. Unless they were a really rare, hard to find pair that went viral and people were desperate to get their hands on them you won't be able to sell them for more than you bought them new.

Had the same issue with brand new Docs. I think vinted is the wrong place for them, people want everything for nothing on there.

Have sold some others on ebay and they did go although lower than I would have liked. FB market place might be worth a try.

So I could buy these for £90 new from the shop, try them on, return them if needed without any issue.

Avoiding paying buyer protection, p&p and wondering if they're either knock offs or just uncomfortable.

Sorry but there's just no way I'd pay this. I'm on Vinted for bargains so if they're rubbish I'll donate to a charity shop and suck up the loss.

Relist them every night if you have to! And keep the price but then send offers for 30ish% off

In which case the £80 is way too high as the person buying second hand has no consumer rights.

You'd be lucky to get £50.

£85 plus fees and postage is over what you paid for them, try £55 you might get some interest

FB marketplace might work better doubt you’ll get £85 tho

Too expensive. I just bought rare 1B60s for £60 off Vinted, I always keep an eye out Feb to May as they're in least demand & at their cheapest. Take your chance on an eBay auction or wait until Autumn when people are shopping for boots.

@Gingerbreadcottage people will not pay the same amount as from a retailer because they will not be able to return. It has to be a bargain.

I would try £50 maximum and be prepared to drop as this style is not going to be as popular as the classic DMs.

Given the buyers protection premium and postage, you are selling for more than they are new?

If you're new to vinted then that may be an issue - there's no history built up. No one trusts you to pay a high price and if you pitch them too low, people will think you're a scam

Have you a local clothes agency you can try them at?
