How to sell on Vinted: the first listing, the first sale, and what to skip.

The first listing, in the order you meet each step

Seven steps, with what Vinted publishes for each. Where the help centre is silent the step says so rather than borrowing a rule from a blog.

1. 1 · Check it can be listed, Vinted has Catalogue Rules, and a listing that breaks them can be removed. Read the rules for the category your item sits in before you photograph it, not after it has been taken down.
2. 2 · Photograph it, Cover the whole item, the label, and each flaw in its own photo. Vinted does not publish a minimum or a maximum photo count on the pages read for this guide, so none is given here.
3. 3 · Choose the condition, Use the table above. If it sits between two, take the lower.
4. 4 · Title and describe, Say what it is, the brand, the size, the colour and what is wrong with it, because that is what a buyer searches and asks. The description page has before and after examples.
5. 5 · Price it, A price from £1 to £30,000 is accepted. The pricing page works the condition bands into actual pounds.
6. 6 · Upload, The listing goes live. Vinted's Bump help page describes a new listing going into review straight after upload, which it says typically takes about 30 minutes and can take up to two days.
7. 7 · When it sells, Box it, use the prepaid label Vinted issues, and drop it off. Vinted's How it works page gives five days. A different label cancels the order automatically, and the postage page covers that.

Vinted's own help pages for the listing form itself did not load when this page was researched, so the form's required fields are not listed here. The first step of the form is the right place to find them.

The six conditions, and the price band Vinted pairs with each

Vinted's condition page defines six states and its pricing page gives a band for three groups of them. The definitions here are paraphrased, not quoted, so read Vinted's own wording on the condition page before you rely on a borderline call.

Vinted prints the bands against three headings (New or Like new, Very good, and Good or Satisfactory), which is why two of the rows share a band. The pricing page works through one.

What this page leaves out

• How long a first sale takes. Vinted publishes no figure, and any number on that question comes from somebody's own wardrobe.
• What to sell. That is a different question and has its own page, because it has a different answer.
• Tax. Selling your own unwanted things is treated differently from selling to make a profit, and the tax page says where the line is and who to ask.
• Vinted Pro. A professional account has its own guide and its own obligations, and this page describes a private seller.
