I’ve made £10.4k on Vinted & swear by 7 tips to make cash quick – including the magic number of pictures you must upload
A SAVVY woman has shared the secrets to her impressive Vinted fortune.
So if you’ve got a loft full of old stuff you never use, or a wardrobe that’s bursting at the seams with clothes you never wear, you’ve come to the right place and will need to take notes.
Isabella, a young woman “on a hustle mission”, has made £10,470.65 on Vinted this year alone.
Not only this, but she still has the capacity to earn £3,199 extra thanks to the 873 items she currently has listed on the marketplace app.
Posting on social media, the mother uploaded a snap showing off a huge pile of her Vinted parcels, as she penned: “Top tips for selling on Vinted from someone who’s made over £10k this year.”
First things first, according to Isabella, you shouldn’t upload more than seven items a day on the app.
She advised: “Post four to seven items daily. Don’t post them all on the same day as they will then become lost.”
Secondly, she revealed her top tip for taking the best pictures, as she added: “Post your items on a plain background, e.g. white bedding or clean carpet.”
Additionally, Isabella revealed the exact number of days you should wait before re-listing items.
“If you still haven’t sold your item after seven days, delete the item and re-post,” she stressed.
Not only this, but Isabella warned against using supermarket bags to send out parcels, as she continued: “Use actual mailing bags rather than bin bags/Tesco bags.
“This will make you look more professional and your buyer will be more likely to return.”
But that’s not all, as Isabella also advised Vinted enthusiasts to offer bundle discounts, even if it’s only 5%, as she acknowledged: “This will make the buyer want to buy more.”
Not only should users take pictures of their items on a white background, but Isabella also stressed the magic number of pictures you must upload to every listing if you want to sell fast.
Do you need to pay tax on items sold on Vinted?
QUICK facts on tax from the team at Vinted...
- The only time that an item might be taxable is if it sells for more than £6,000 and there is profit (sells for more than you paid for it). Even then, you can use your capital gains tax-free allowance of £3,000 to offset it.
- Generally, only business sellers trading for profit (buying goods with the purpose of selling for more than they paid for them) might need to pay tax. Business sellers who trade for profit can use a tax-free allowance of £1,000, which has been in place since 2017.

Finally, Isabella noted the importance of raking up five star reviews on the handy app, as she concluded: “Having good reviews is essential when selling on Vinted.
“[It] shows that you are reliable and the items are likely to be as described.”
