A savvy seller has revealed how she made over £6,000 on Vinted by following eight simple rules. Chloe Chandler shared her top tips for boosting sales and maximising earnings on the popular second-hand platform.
Chloe advises sellers to check clothing labels for desirable materials like silk, which can command a higher price. She recommends uploading items between 7pm and 10pm on weekdays, when people are scrolling after work, and on Sunday at 11am or payday weekends. Avoid uploading at 2pm on a Monday, as it won't get pushed by the algorithm.
High-quality photos are crucial, says Chloe. The first image should be clear and recognisable, with a plain background. She finds laying items flat on a bed works better than hanging them. Take photos of labels, front, back, and any special features. For pricing, ignore Vinted's suggested price (often £1-£4) and search for similar items to set a realistic price.
Descriptions should be detailed and include keywords that buyers might search for. Be transparent about any faults. Chloe uses AI tools like Snapchat's My AI or ChatGPT to write descriptions. She also stresses the importance of good customer service: send measurements, extra photos, proof of postage, and reply quickly to offers to avoid losing sales.
