My free Vinted hack makes you loads more money at the click of a button – it boosts your whole wardrobe to invite sales
IF you’re looking to have a wardrobe clear-out and make a bit of extra money on the side, then Vinted is a good place to start.
But while some sellers can make a small fortune, others don’t have much success. So, if you fall into the latter category, you may just want to listen up!
That’s because a money-saving whizz named Lisa has taken to TikTok (@lisaturn1poundaround) to share her top Vinted hack to sell more.
In the clip, which has since gone viral, she begins by urging: “Now, do not overuse this hack. Don’t overuse it because it works really, really well.
“And we don’t want Vinted to get wind of the fact that we have realised what it does.”
According to Lisa, the key to flogging more is super simple and involves the click of a little-known button…
“If you put yourself onto holiday mode, when you take yourself off holiday mode, it boosts your whole wardrobe,” she says.
“It pushes you back out and you’re shown again to people.
“It’s like a free…you can pay for things within Vinted can’t you – you can pay for showcasing.
“Don’t ever pay for Vinted showcasing or whatever the other thing is – boosting, because you don’t have to.
“You can use functions that are already built into Vinted that work the same and you don’t have to pay for them, so put yourself onto holiday mode.”
However, Lisa goes on to say that you shouldn’t just put yourself onto holiday mode for a few minutes or a few hours.
Instead, she explains: “Put yourself onto holiday mode for a few days, otherwise this trick, this hack doesn’t work.
“Put yourself on holiday mode for a few days and when you take yourself off holiday mode, it boosts your whole wardrobe and you will see that you make sales.”
It wasn’t long before the post went viral, garnering an impressive 707k views and several comments from very grateful Vinted sellers.
“You’re a genius, not all heroes wear capes!” wrote one.
Lisa replied: “I noticed it did it, then a friends daughter said she’d noticed it too been using it ever since but sparingly!”
A second commented: “And use hashtags or key words!!”
A third penned: “Just done it!”
Meanwhile, a fourth noted: “This explains why my sales boosted a LOT after i came off holiday mode.”
Another praised: “Thank you for the tip! Will try this out.”
And a further added: “Trying this, fingers crossed as loads to sell.”
It comes after Fabulous previously told about another top seller who made £250 in 24 hours on Vinted.
In a clip shared to TikTok, she revealed the two smart phrases you need to add to the title if you want items to sell fast.
Southerly Bower urged: “Add keywords into the name – what people will be searching for when they go onto Vinted, is your item oversized? Is it knitted?”
And when it comes to the description, she continued: “In the description, I like to put my size for reference and maybe a place where you could wear this item – is it for a wedding or a hen do?
“Remember if it’s new with tags, always try and take a photo of the tag.”
Top charity shop tips for bagging a bargain
Ross Dutton has been a manager for Crisis's charity shops for four years and currently runs the charity's Finsbury Park shop in London.
Choose your area – As a rule of thumb, the posher the area, the better quality the clothes that are donated.
Don’t hang around – If you see something you like, buy it, as it’ll likely be gone when you come back
Look out for cut-off labels – Some of your favourite high street stores will have deals with local charity shops to donate stock that isn’t sold during their own sales. Often part of the deal is that they need to cut the labels off the clothes.
Stay at home – While some charities have their own site, like Oxfam and Crisis. many also sell from dedicated eBay stores, such as British Heart Foundation and Scope. You won’t get the range of bargains that you would get in a physical store, but if you’re looking for something specific it may be worth checking online too.
