Thread #79000 about Vinted but I need to know: is it an effective way to declutter when you are time-starved, menopausal and knackered?

[ToriTheStoryteller]

I have lots of stuff. In my house and my parent's house. I've tried selling on Facebook and Ebay but end up giving up after selling a few things and taking a car load to charity shops.

I do really need to try and actually sell a lot of things that are left - good quality things, plus I need to generate some extra cash for some work that needs doing.

Realistically, what's the time/effort to success/cash ratio I should expect? If the consensus is an hour to list and post 10 items that netted £50 then that's great, but if you end up relisting and there are hoops to jump through re packing/posting, then it might not work.

For context, I'm pretty intelligent and use various systems/online platforms for work, but for some reason working out how to change a password/bring my PayPal account back to life freaks me out and makes me feel like a complete dunce, so it needs to be easy to actually do!

What’s the advantage of seeking on Vinted to seeking on EBay? I have so much I need to get rid of it’s embarrassing.

Selling

Depends where your nearest drop-off points are and whether you're willing to drive there just for this. I had to stop using vinted as they binned the only viable option for me, which was Royal Mail collection from my home. Not worth it for me as I would have to drive 10 miles and pay for parking, just to drop off a parcel. Back to ebay.

What’s the reduced online mailing, if you don’t mind me asking?

@tryingtorecover, Royal Mail prices are slightly cheaper online than in the post office. You can either print the label at home, or they can email you a QR code and will print the label for you when you take your parcel to the PO (not all POs can do that) and show the QR code.
