One delivery, followed to the bank
An ordinary account, a buyer who never presses anything, and both windows running their full length.
- Monday, delivered, The buyer has the parcel. What they paid has been in Pending balance since checkout and stays there until the order completes.
- Wednesday, the order completes, Two days after delivery, with nothing confirmed and no issue reported, it completes by itself. A buyer who pressed “Everything is OK” on the Monday would have completed it that day, and everything below moves two days earlier.
- By Friday, the money is available, Vinted says you will receive the payment within two days of completion, moving it from Pending to Available. That is the second window, not the first one counted twice.
- Then, when you ask, An available balance can be spent on Vinted or withdrawn, and the withdrawal is a step you start. Sellers who believe they are owed money have sometimes never pressed it.
The fast end of the same sale is a buyer who confirms on the Monday and an available balance by Tuesday. Both ends sit inside Vinted's published figures, which is why a flat two days is not an answer.
The sequence, and what starts each step
Third column: Vinted's published figure for a UK account, read on 3 September 2026. Fourth: what catches people out.
| Step | What starts it | How long | The catch |
| The order completes | The buyer receiving it. | Immediately when they press “Everything is OK”, or two days after delivery if they neither confirm nor report an issue. Fourteen days on a Pro sale. | Delivery does not complete an order. The buyer confirming, or the clock running out, is what does. |
| Pending to Available | The order completing. | “You will receive your payment within 2 days.” | A second published window behind the first, not the same one counted twice. |
| Available to your bank | You starting a withdrawal. | Not published. Vinted names the step and gives it no length, so neither does this page. | It does not happen on its own. The money stays on Vinted until you ask for it. |
None of these is a date Cavri can see. The wording quoted here comes from the two help pages linked below.
Which date Cavri holds, and which one it does not
Cavri is inventory software. It never touches money on Vinted, cannot see your Pending or Available balance, and has no payout column anywhere. What it records is the sold date: Vinted's own order date where the order list supplies one, and the moment Cavri first saw the sale where it does not. That is the day the buyer bought, and every wait on this page starts after it.
A second date, kept separately, holds when Cavri first noticed the sale. The two differ whenever a sale is recovered from order history weeks later, and anything acting on a sale's age reads the second. A sold date is never moved backwards afterwards, because several jobs treat it as a clock rather than a label, and one of them re-encodes photographs in a way that cannot be undone.
Refunds run the other way. When Vinted's order list reports an order failed, Cavri returns the items to your wardrobe, strips the sale price and the sale date, and records the reversal so the next scan cannot quietly mark them sold again. Money that never arrived leaves your figures with it.
One more thing, because it costs sellers real worry. Vinted's order list uses the same word for a parcel travelling to the buyer and one coming back to you undelivered, and only a separate shipment field tells them apart. An order that looks like it is still on its way may be on its way home, with no payment window running on it.
What this page will not tell you
- When your money will actually arrive. These are published windows and most sales beat them. Vinted's payment history is the only account of what happened to yours.
- Anything about one specific held payment. A withdrawal can sit there held, and neither this page nor Cavri can see that a hold exists, let alone lift it.
- Figures outside the UK. Every one here is from Vinted's UK help centre. The other nine markets Cavri serves publish their own, and this page does not assume they match.
- Anything Cavri could do to make it faster. There is nothing. No tool moves a Vinted payout, and any that claims to is describing something else.
Vinted's own pages, where these figures are kept
Every length above is Vinted's rather than Cavri's. The figures move and this page would not, so it stamps the date it was read and sends you to the copy that is maintained.
- Getting paid for a completed sale, what completes an order, the two-day and fourteen-day automatic completion, and the payment reaching your Available balance
- Pending balance, the balance a payment sits in between the buyer paying and the order completing
