How to sell more on Vinted

How to get more sales on Vinted, and which change to make.

To get more sales on Vinted you change one of four things: the price, the photographs and the words, the category and attributes the item is filed under, or how long it has sat there unchanged. Nothing makes a buyer buy, so the only question worth answering is which of the four is the problem on your wardrobe.

Cavri answers it from your own sales, and the first thing it does is refuse. A department or a price band with fewer than 10 timed sales gets no median at all, only a count of how far off it is, because a middle number built on three sales tells you which item happened to go first and nothing else. Past that threshold it reports how long your stock actually takes to sell, by department and by price band, over the last 365 days.

01 / Evidence

Your sales, not a benchmark

Every sold item carries the day it went up and the day it sold. Cavri takes the gap and reports the middle one by department and by price band. 365 days by default; 90 days or two years if you would rather.

02 / Refusal

Under ten sales, it says nothing

A department or band with fewer than 10 timed sales gets no median, only a count of how far off it is. The threshold is fixed in the code rather than offered as a setting, because a number you can talk yourself down to is not a guard.

03 / Caveat

A relist restarts the clock

Days to sell run from the listing date, and relisting an item replaces that date. So the report says how many sales in the sample had been relisted, and how many had no listing date to measure from at all.

Reading it on one wardrobe

Invented numbers, real arithmetic. A wardrobe with 68 sales in the last twelve months, 61 of them with a listing date to measure from, and an overall median of 26 days.

  1. All sales · 26 days, The middle sale took 26 days. Half were quicker, half took longer. This is the line everything else is read against, and it is a description of your wardrobe rather than a target to beat.
  2. Women > Dresses · 11 days, from 18 sales, Well past the sample threshold, and under half the overall median. Whatever is happening here works. The useful response is to buy more of it, not to change anything about the listings.
  3. Women > Outerwear · 74 days, from 22 sales, Also a real number, and nearly three times the overall. Before cutting prices, look at when those sales landed: coats are seasonal, and a slow median in July is the calendar rather than the listing.
  4. Men > Jumpers & sweaters · no median, 4 sales so far, Four is not enough to be told anything, so nothing is told. The row shows the count and waits.
  5. Under £10 · 9 days · £20 to £34.99 · 47 days, The gap between two price bands is the clearest pricing signal you will get out of your own history. It does not say the £30 items are priced wrong. It says they need five weeks, so pricing one to sell this week means moving it into a different band.
  6. The sample line underneath, 68 sales in the window, 7 with no listing date, 19 that had been relisted at some point. That last one matters: those 19 are timed from their most recent relist, so the real wait was longer.

None of that says a listing is wrong. It says where to look first, which is the part that otherwise costs you an evening and a guess.

The four things you can change

In the order most people should try them, which is not the order most people do try them.

What you changeWhy it moves anythingHow you would know it is this oneWhat Cavri does
PriceIt is the number every buyer compares, and the one change that needs no new photographs and no new words.Your slow price band sits far above your fast one, and the gap is bigger than the gap between your categories.Bulk price changes across a selection with a minimum underneath, or the curve on a timer: 10% every 21 days, never below 60% of the starting price, waiting for your yes unless you switch that off.
Photographs and the wordsThey decide whether somebody who has already found the item opens it, and the title decides which searches find it.One department is slow across every price band. That points at how you shoot and write it, not at what you charge.The AI drafts a title, description, price, condition and category from your photos, and every one of them is a draft until you press publish. Photos themselves are per item, by hand, because there is no sane bulk edit for a photograph.
Category and attributesThey decide which filters the item appears in at all. A buyer browsing size 12 dresses never sees an item filed somewhere else, whatever it costs.Items that sold quickly once you fixed the filing, and items a relist refuses to run on because a required field is empty.Category and condition can be set across a whole selection in one action. Brand, size and colour are per item, because Vinted refuses a listing that has them wrong. A relist that cannot run says which field stopped it.
How long it has sat thereA listing that has not moved in two months has been seen by the people who were going to see it at that price.The wardrobe list flags anything live past 14 days, and the median for its department is well behind it.The relist queue holds everything older than the age you set, 30 days by default, and works through it under a daily ceiling: 20 actions by default, one per queued job.

There is a fifth thing, which is what you buy in the first place. Nothing on this page changes that after the fact. Days to sell by department is the closest any of it gets: it is a record of which kinds of stock moved for you and which sat, which is the part you can act on next time you are buying.

What none of this can do

It cannot make an item sell. A lower price and a fresher listing date put it in front of more people; whether anybody buys is theirs to decide, and no tool has ever had a say in it. Anyone selling you a number for that is guessing with your money.

Not one of these figures comes from views, likes or search position. Every number here is built from sales: what an item sold for, and how many days it took. That is a much smaller dataset than Vinted's own, and it is the only one that is definitely about your wardrobe.

It is not market pricing either. Cavri has no view of what other sellers charge for the same coat, no list of what is selling well this month, and no opinion about what you should buy next. It knows what happened to your stock, and stops there.

And relisting is not free. A relist is a fresh listing and a deletion of the old one, so the likes and watchers go with it. That is true of every tool in this category, and it is the reason the queue holds items until they are genuinely stale rather than running every week.

What this page is not

  • It is not a promise. Cavri cannot make anything sell and does not claim it can.
  • It is not market data. The medians are yours alone, so a new account has none and says so rather than borrowing somebody else's.
  • It does not report on views, likes or where you rank in a search. What it measures is what sold, and when.
  • It cannot tell a good photograph from a bad one. It can tell you that everything in one department takes three times as long as the rest of your wardrobe.
  • Anything that writes to Vinted runs through the Chrome extension, on a laptop or desktop. Your phone can read the numbers and check offers; it cannot carry out the change.

Questions about selling more

How do I get more sales on Vinted?

By changing one of four things, and knowing which one before you change it: the price, the photographs and the words, the category and attributes the item is filed under, or how long it has been sitting there. Which one it is shows up in your own sales rather than in general advice, because a wardrobe that is slow in every price band has a different problem from one that is slow in a single department. Nothing can make a buyer buy, so the work is narrowing it to one thing and then changing that.

How long should something take to sell on Vinted?

There is no general answer worth having, because it depends entirely on what you sell and what you charge for it. There is a specific one: your own median. Cavri times every sale from the day it was listed to the day it sold and reports the middle number, split by department and by price band, and it refuses to report one at all on fewer than 10 sales.

Why is nothing selling on my Vinted wardrobe?

Usually one of four things, and the useful move is to find out which before changing all of them at once: the price, the photographs and the description, the category and attributes the item is filed under, or simply how long it has sat there. Your own days-to-sell figures point at which, because a problem that shows up in one department is a different problem from one that shows up in one price band.

Does relisting on Vinted make things sell?

It gives the item a new listing date, which is what puts it back near the top of a category feed. That is the free route to the top; Vinted's own Bump is the paid one, and Cavri does not buy it. Relisting costs you the likes and watchers on the old listing, because a relist is a new listing and a deletion. Whether the extra views turn into a sale is not something any tool can tell you in advance.

Should I drop the price or relist it?

Whichever you have not already tried on that item. An item relisted three times at the same price has had its second chances; the price is the thing left. Cavri does both, the relist queue and the price curve draw from the same daily ceiling, and the curve holds a floor at 60% of the starting price so a long run of drops cannot take an item to nothing.

How many sales do I need before the numbers mean anything?

Ten in a given department or price band. Below that Cavri prints the count it has so far and no median, so on a young account most rows read as still learning. That is the honest state of a wardrobe with nine sales, and it is better than a number that would move if one more coat sold.

Does Cavri tell me what to price an item at?

Not from the market, no: it has no view of what other sellers charge. What it does is take your own starting price down on a schedule you set, printing the arithmetic behind each suggestion, and hold a floor it will not go below. The decision about where to start stays yours.

All of this assumes the wardrobe is already in Cavri. There is a page showing what the import and the first bulk edit actually look like.
