Brand new DMs not selling on Vinted

Size 8 is huge. I'm a 7 and sometimes get man's sizes but rarely met a size 8 female and the style is pretty niche, so you're looking at a very specific buyer who might take time to emerge, if they exist.

I agree. Why would anyone pay you full price? You are not a shop. You are looking at £40 realistically.

£90 new and you’re selling for £85?! That’s madness- it will cost the buyer more than £90 with the buyer fee and postage. The risk of buying on Vinted from a random person means there needs to be a reward. The reward is getting something for a much lower price, otherwise it’s not worth taking the risk. You need to be prepared to only get 50% of what you paid, or less.

I recently sold a pair of new netball trainers on there - they were 105 when I bought them (in the wrong colour for DD), but by the time I listed they were 85 in sports direct. I sold them at 75.

£10 max

I bought my dd a pair of traditional dm's on vinted that look almost new for £20. Selling in the shops for £80 just to put things into perspective...

Hmm I sell a lot on Vinted and it’s very depend on the brand. With brands like DMs and Lucy and Yak for example, if it’s brand new and sold out, you’d be closer to getting over half/3 quarters of what you paid. But agree with you on the whole.

EBay is a better bet but you’re still looking at £50-£60 max with free postage included.

The whole point of resale sites is to get a bargain, not to make sellers their investment back.

The only thing I’ve managed to make anything near purchase price back on on Vinted is Lucy and yak stuff but even that’s a struggle now as so much is being listed. DMs in a niche size and colour are going to need to be priced low to sell.

Hard to believe that so many people on MN actually seem to believe average women's show size in UK is 8, just because some numpty has said so. Use your common sense people!
The data referred to is US data, and show sizes in the US are different.

Also I tried searching them on Vinted and didn’t come up, have you got all the right search terms etc? I only saw a pair for £50

Also are there any DM buying / selling groups on Facebook?

Agree - either you have to lower the price or try eBay. EBay have recently removed selling fees for Clothing to try and compete with Vinted so worth a try.

£25

By the time I’ve paid postage as well, I would be paying more than full price. If they don’t fit or I don’t like them I can’t return them. I then have the faff of reposting them, and even then I know I won’t make my money back. The buyer protection is rubbish and I have had an item get lost before and Vinted wouldn’t refund me. We are going in to spring so people will be buying spring/summer bits so they won’t re sell quickly.

It just doesn’t make sense, unless I am desperate for these and can’t get them anywhere else.

But those are American sizes. The UK equivalent of US 8.5 is 6.5. However, in UK stats that I have seen, size 6 is UK average. Not that long ago it was size 5 so we're definitely getting bigger, foot wise.

The thing is about shoes is that you try them on straight away , so if they don’t fit you can send them back immediately . So saying you “left it too late to return them” is an odd thing to say, and if I think that then so will others and wonder what the possible real back story is.

Also as other people have pointed out, for the price you are asking someone who wanted a similar pair could buy them brand new without all the possible drama of them being a rip off.

Do you have anything else listed for people to make a bundle

I only really buy things on vinted if they are a really good bargain or if I can buy them as part of a bundle so it seems more worth it

Sorry op but I think you need to lower your price a lot further

The things you find easy and take for granted aren't always easy for everyone.

For example, at size 22, none of the shops in my town except the supermarkets stock my size, therefore I have to buy most of my clothes online. However because of my size, it's hard to find things that suits.

I have ADHD so I am shit at sending them back. So, I fairly often end up with clothes I don't want past the returns date.

I dare say there are several reasons people can't easily get to the shops (e.g. remote location / disability) and various barriers to sending things back.

Haha yes it wasn't a known brand or that would be the answer!

Yes that’s also true. Especially if they’re selling a lot from the same brand etc or multiple sizes.

They will be sometimes I’m sure.

Probably once or twice in my whole life. If I buy something it’s because I really like it. So I wouldn’t not wear it!

Put them at £65 -£70it’s because they are brand new on site for £85 and people can return them from there , I’ve sold loads and bought loads for decent prices so not everyone expects everything to be a couple of pounds but it needs to be cheaper then the shops . I sell and buy all the time .

@scotstars you were crazy to sell it for £15! What you need to do is wait six months until it’s sold out completely,add “vintage” to your listing and you’ll get £150!

Even though they are new and unworn people don't pay retail or near retail prices on Vinted. They can't return if don't fit or don't like and are trusting they are listed as described so they don't expect to pay full price I had an unworn dress with tags on that cost £100 it sold for £15

I did exactly the same! Bought DMs, didn't return in time coz ADHD. Listed on Vinted, they didn't sell.

I sold them in Facebook Marketplace for £60, I got loads of interest. It was just before Christmas though.

I'd try listing on FB marketplace too if I were you.
