I’ve never had Vinted sales so quick as after trying a TikTok viral hack – now I’m flogging 10 items a day
WE’RE all doing what we can to earn some extra cash – from turning to side hustles to selling our unwanted goods.
Vinted has become a popular way to flog our unworn clothes but it’s not always as easy as it looks.
Plenty of people have taken to the app to sell their clothes but unfortunately, a lot of the time our clothes stay listed with no one buying.
Nicole had the same issue where her clothes just weren’t selling at the rate she thought they would.
But the savvy woman decided to try out a viral hack to get buyers interested and was thrilled to see it work.
Taking to social media, she revealed she deleted the items from her profile and then relisted them.
“This is your sign to relist items on your Vinted that have been up for weeks,” Nicole said.
The young woman revealed that it wasn’t an easy task and can take a while to do but was well worth the pay off.
“It takes so long but so worth it!! Sold 10 items in a day,” she wrote in the comments.
She also revealed that the background of the photo helped and used a white bed sheet to show off her items.
“I’ve never seen sales so quick,” Nicole added.
Now Nicole’s items are being bought left, right and centre and people were quick to try her hack out for themselves.
The clip went viral on her TikTok account @nicolelouux with over 125k views and 2,000 likes.
People took to the comments thanking her for the tip and sharing their own.
One person wrote: “Yessss it’s all about the background to! I did this yesterday sold all four.”
Another commented: “It’s so boring to do but definitely works.”
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.
