I made £300 on Vinted in a few days – my 6 simple steps including a pricing hack that helps items sell quickly
VINTED can seem like an absolute minefield if you don’t know the secret tips and tricks behind how it works.
But if you’re after a bit of extra cash and have got piles of boxes of old clothes still waiting to be re-homed, then you may just want to listen up!
That’s because one Vinted seller who has made an impressive £300 on the site in just a few days has revealed her six simple steps to selling success.
In a clip shared to TikTok (@k.a.y_robertson), the pro MUA named Kay begins: “How I made £300 on Vinted.”
First up, she explains that taking “quality images” is key to portraying the condition of the garment.
And while many of us have been lead to believe it’s best to keep prices low to draw the attention of bargain hunters, Kay has some rather different advice.
If an item has a flaw, then state and take images always…then post as good or satisfactory condition

Instead, the second-hand seller advises pricing items a few pounds higher to “allow for offers.”
The Vinted whizz also highlights the importance of including descriptive details for each listing because it’ll draw in a much wider audience.
Sharing an example of an item she’s previously uploaded, she reads the caption she wrote aloud: “Size 12 Primark boyfriend jeans.
“Would fit size 10 new without tags, never worn pets and smoke free home.”
Not stopping there, Kay also urges Vinted sellers to “be honest” and says that “if an item has a flaw, then state and take images always.”
She adds: “Then post as good or satisfactory condition.”
And last but not least, the social media user says that “packaging is important” and that it’s worth trying to “sell in bundles.”
And Kay isn’t the only Vinted whizz to share her top tips and advice when it comes to the popular online marketplace.
Fabulous previously told how a savvy seller named Bibi-Jane swears by four strict description rules to help her make a fortune on Vinted.
Taking to TikTok, she explained how you should always include the height of the person modelling the clothes (i.e you) and what size you normally wear.
Not stopping there, she also recommended including the line “message me if you have any questions,” along with a note saying “my bundle discount is on.”
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.
