To ask would you be bothered to sell things for £1 or £2 on Vinted

I do. It's like a hobby for me, and the walk to drop it off gets me out the house as I WFH most of the time. And the balance builds with lots of cheap items, so when DDs want something new I tell them to find it on vinted and I always have enough balance to get whatever it is they want.

Yes, I walk past the lockers and post office plus I have lots of recycled packaging so it costs me nothing. I tend to put a few items on together so there’s usually more than 1 parcel when I drop off.

Just out of interest, does anyone successfully sell toiletries for more than their original cost? I like a particular shampoo, it’s quite cheap, around £4-5 max in Aldi, when they stock it. There is some on Vinted but at more than double the price, I’m not tempted. I made an offer as it’s been on three months, but it was declined.

I do. Like others who do the same I walk past my post office every day so no extra time needed and I use digital labels. It all adds up.

I do, but only if they do not require significant packaging (like fragile stuff) and I only set the delivery options to the ones in walking distance.

It’s less about the money for me, and more about knowing that the item is going to someone who actively wanted it, as opposed to chancing a charity shop and knowing it might be tossed.

I try to list about 5 items every week so those ones are near the top, then people see my older items for a bundle.

Dont do it. Every item you sell ( even £1 ones) counts towards your HMRC reporting limit ( 30 items per year is a threshold). Once reported, it may potentially gives you a massive hustle of dealing with HMRC.

It’s worth it if you can put loads on in one hit for my experience. I made over £1000 last year on Vinted but my strategy was just to put everything on in one hit. I think that somehow moves you up the listings for visibility and I would sell 20 to 30 items in a weekend. Some of those were £1 or £2 but some were more. So it all added up and one trip to the lockers could be 60 or £70 worth.

I pass an evri shop and the in post lockers regularly so it's no hassle to drop things in there on my way somewhere else.

But it depends on whether it's something I have space to store or whether it just needs to go, if it won't sell quickly. I only really do it for decluttering as I don't buy much I don't need anymore and we're reducing what's in the house.

Prefer to pass on rather than bin, so either sell or donate where possible.

I wouldn’t, not unless I’m desperate. I’d prefer to donate them.

Yes, but I have selected my postage to just the lockers which are a 5min walk away. I’m only selling my old stuff so it’s all second hand, all in good condition, but still not worth what I originally paid for them

I think it can be worth it.

Vinted offer buyers the option to make a bundle from different items the seller is offering.

I often do that because it's not worthwhile to pay £3 postage for a £1-2 item, but if there are 6 or 7 things that I can get for £10, I would choose to buy from that seller over another.

As a recent example, I got a bundle of children's clothes including a few pairs of tights, tops and dungarees.

As PP have said, choose the digital label option. When you start, go to settings and postage and de select any postage options that aren’t near you and require a label to be printed (it tells you which these are).
I sell a lot on Vinted and it’s very easy - make sure you take clear photos, show the sizing label (care label is also helpful). Good luck!

As others have said, I don’t sell anything under £10 and donate any items that I don’t list, or haven’t sold after a few weeks to charity.

It takes me about a minute to upload an item, vinted is so quick. Posting is on the way home from work (garage so can drive up, be in and out in less than a minute and pick up any shopping aswell). If it was more effort than that, I probably wouldn’t but it does all add up if a regular seller. Will only post from that one location.

It’s actually quicker for me to do that than go to the charity shop all the time with clothes the kids have grown out of.

I used to but it was so time consuming now I create my own bundles of afew items of the same size and sell them “as a bundle “
i tend to do 8-10 items for £12 and then expecting someone to offer £8-10.

Last year I made about £500 from stuff that would otherwise have been given away for free so I think it’s worth it if you can be bothered with it but I found bundling the same size makes more sense and is less packages and less trips to the parcel shop!

The most I've ever got on Vinted was £5. The vast majority goes for £1 or £2, and they're excellent condition items too.

You can get a digital label- choose that option when you're at the "download label" stage of selling, and then when you get to the locker just scan the code they'll send to your phone.
Parcel goes into the locker, doesn't need a physical label. Very easy!

I offer everything to my teens - if they can be bothered to list then they can have the money if it sells.

I am strict on not leaving listings for too long though. Every half term and holidays we have a big clear out and take to charity what hasn't sold.

I buy plenty for £1 though, especially books, so am glad people do list at that price.

I don’t sell but I do buy. I always flick through the cheaper pieces to add to my basket for a bundle, as a buyer, I like it.

I wouldn’t, but my husband said he would sell all the bits I was going to donate or bin and he made over £500 in 18 months so I do think it’s worth it if you can be bothered

I put some stuff up in a bout of productiveness a few months ago, and in the last week I’ve had 2 sales…. And made £5.50.

Very disappointed they needed dropping off. Very.

I find things of this value sell in bundles - people don't want to pay £3 postage for a £1 item. So it's worth having them listed to bump up the value of parcels.

Lol. I don't iron stuff unless it's selling for over £10. Only reuse packaging from stiff we've ordered, literally haven't bought packaging ever. You can even use cereal boxes taped up. Nobody needs a thank you card with a piece of second hand clothing.
I sell stuff even for a few quid it adds up.

Yes because, for me, it's about the sustainability angle not the money. I've lost a lot of weight over the last 19 months and I've had to reinvent my wardrobe a number of times. I've bought a lot on Vinted as a result and much of it has only been worn for a few months before I have dropped out of that size. I'd rather my lightly worn clothes go on to have another life with someone else. Charity shops are known to dump stuff in landfill or overseas so Vinted feels more sustainable to me.

I do, because I often find it easier to drop off a parcel than get to the charity shop within their hours. I also find it more convenient than waiting for people from our free group to come around.
