Selling on vinted. Worth it?

Just wondering if its worth it, is it ever a hassle.
Dcs have loads of clothes practically new but outgrown. Mainly Next or F&F.

Would i sell as bundles of age.
So 5x age 6 girls t shirts etc

Is it easy to calculate postage?

I would say so. I have got rid of a couple of hundred quids worth of my old clothes. Mostly M&S/next/JL type stuff. I haven't sold anything over £25 and mostly under £15.

Postage is easy and they tell you how to calculate.

I have only had lovely buyers and when I've bought it's been the same

Yes, it's very easy. I've just started using it for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. I would just say ask for more than you actually want as people like to bargain and will offer you less. I was selling a dress for £5 and was offered £4. I now ask for a couple of pounds more than I want.

Definitely. I’ve sold no end of stuff on there, my things and DC, and made a good chunk of money. I tend to leave it ‘in’ the app rather than withdrawing it and use it to fund the next age up in clothes for the kid!
postage is very straightforward and paid for by the buyer.

Yes, do it! But first, spend a few days looking around the Vinted forums, or even Mumsnet posts about it, and learn about stuff. The same problems tend to come up again and again, and most of them can be avoided with prior knowledge and knowing how to do things the right way.

Definitely worth it and very easy too. We've been selling clothes and the kids toys. Made around £500 this year! I listed nicer things individually (party dresses, higher end brands etc) and then cheaper bundles.

Take lots of photos, be very honest in your description. List for a bit more than you want as people love to bargain. And I have bundle discounts set up as an incentive for people to buy more of my items.

Postage it pretty much guides you on what to select but it's more to do with weight. So small is under 500g medium is under 1kg and large is under 2kg. Gives a rough guide on there with examples of what each item might fit into. Just make sure you only select postage options you are happy to use I your settings, I unselected inpost as my nearest is a bus ride away and there's never a spare locker so I only use yodel or evri as they are walking distance for me.

Love vinted! The app takes you through it step by step, I average about 10 sales a week 🙂
