How much percentage of my Vinted money should I give my daughter?

It’s such a cliche to say this but all of my problems now I see as next year problems
But as the time comes around in the new year I always end out deciding it’s a new year new slate so all of the problems become pushed
I have been meaning to organise all of my Vinted reselling but really can’t be bothered
Is it a good idea to ask my daughter to do it for me and I will give her part of the money
What would be a good percentage of the money to give her?
She would get it added on to her monthly pocket money

Reselling?

You mean you buy stuff and then sell it on vinted?

SalmonOnFinnCrisp · 31/12/2025 00:02

50% of proceeds

WallaceinAnderland · 31/12/2025 00:06

Well if you won't do it yourself, give her 100% as she's doing all the work.

I would say this is a good opportunity for your daughter to learn to negotiate 😉

My son has his own account so what ever he sells that I give him, he keeps 100%. I'd say 50% is fair

I'd say 50pc myself. Or tell her what you want for the items eg "here's a bunch of stuff. I'd like to make 20 quid. Anything over that is yours"

I sold a load of my dad's stuff on ebay when I was in my 20s I was allowed to keep 100% of the money.

Its a chunk of work to take the photos, write descriptions, upload images, communicate with any queries, package up and post.

I got the money, he got the clear closet space.

Ah - fine then. I was asking because resellers are trading and have to think about whether any tax is due on their income.

noidea69 · 31/12/2025 10:06

What would you be contributing? Just the clothes themselves?

How old is she?

rookiemere · 31/12/2025 13:14

If you can afford it let her keep 100%. I don’t know if you have been on Vinted but the stuff - unless new or designer- sells at rock bottom prices. It’s also a reasonable amount of work to keep on top of it and post the items quickly etc. If you were planning to bin or charity shop then you haven’t lost anything.

WittyShaker · 31/12/2025 13:17

It sounds like she will have to put in all the real effort so she should get to keep the proceeds. Otherwise it looks like you are just using your daughter to do something you cant be bothered to do.

notacooldad · 31/12/2025 13:21

If its your old stuff you dont want, id give her all of it. Why not?
You dont want the clothes and cant be arsed doing it yourself.

I would say this is a good opportunity for your daughter to learn to negotiate
Everything doesn't have to be a learning experience.

redskydelight · 31/12/2025 13:27

My daughter does this for friends and asks for (and usually gets) 60%.

@notacooldad weird comment. Where did I say that it did?

Ohpleeeease · 03/01/2026 23:35

The easy way would be to take it all to a charity shop and then neither of you would get anything but a charity might benefit.

If you want your daughter to get something out of it let her keep all the proceeds but set a deadline or you’ll find she loses heart just as you have.
