Hi; I'm looking on vinted and saw some things I would like.
One is a jumper. It's £1. When I get to postage costs its saying from £0.00 for click and collect (I prefer to c&c as I work full time so pop in on my way home). Does this seem right or do I need to add postage on somewhere. With buyer protection at 38p and £1 for item, it's seems too cheap for £1.38.
Any advice please?

If its a typical 'high street' jumper it doesn't have much of a second hand value, so if the seller is getting a pound for it, they probably just want rid of it while getting something for it that they wouldn't get if they donated it to charity. They could have lots of items to get rid of, so if they sell dozens of them for a pound, it all adds up.

With Vinted, they get to keep the whole pound, whereas if they sold it on ebay, it might cost a fiver to you with P&P, but out of that they'll have to pay ebay fees of nearly a pound, plus about £3 to post, so will still only get a pound and have to pack the item and take it to the Post Office or parcel collection point.
