Open calculatorThe short version
Selling on Vinted in the UK is genuinely free. There are no listing fees, no commission on what sells, and no payment-processing fee taken from your payout. The buyer pays a small protection fee on top of your price — that's how Vinted makes its money, and it doesn't come out of your pocket.
The only ways you spend money on Vinted as a seller are if you choose to: optional features like Bump (paid visibility) or Wardrobe Spotlight (paid pinning), and Vinted's pre-paid shipping labels if you use them rather than your own courier.
The current fee structure
| Fee | Who pays | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Listing fee | — | £0 |
| Selling commission | — | £0 |
| Payment processing | — | £0 |
| Buyer protection fee | Buyer | ~£0.70 fixed + ~5% of the item price (paid on top of your listed price) |
| Bump / paid visibility | Seller (optional) | Varies by item price; shown before you confirm |
| Vinted-integrated shipping label | Seller (optional) | Cost of the courier you choose |
You receive 100% of your listed price into your Vinted balance when the sale completes. From there you can withdraw to your bank account, no processing fee.
Worked example
You list a North Face jacket at £45. A buyer purchases it.
- You receive: £45.00 into your Vinted balance.
- What the buyer paid Vinted: £45.00 (your price) + ~£2.95 (buyer protection ≈ £0.70 + 5%) + the courier label = around £53 depending on the shipping option they chose.
- What you spent: £0.
That £45 lands in your balance immediately on completion. You can withdraw it to your bank for free.
How this compares to other UK platforms
| Platform | Seller commission | Other fees on the seller |
|---|---|---|
| Vinted | 0% | None on standard sales |
| Depop UK | 0% (since July 2024) | 2.9% + £0.30 payment processing per transaction |
| eBay UK (private) | 0% on most items | 40p per order over £10; £0.35 per listing above the 300 free monthly allowance |
| Vestiaire Collective | Tiered (often 5% on items £100+; promotional 0% on many GBP brands; £5 fixed on items under £100) | 3% payment processing (or £3 fixed on items under £100) |
For a single £45 sale, Vinted is the lowest-cost platform on this list. The trade-off is audience and item-type: Vinted is built for everyday clothing and accessories under ~£100, where its UK buyer base is huge.
Things worth knowing
- Bump is optional. Vinted will sometimes prompt you to "boost" a listing for a small fee. It can help on a stale listing, but it isn't necessary — fresh listings get a visibility boost anyway.
- Price at £1.50 or above to unlock Vinted's offer-to-likers feature. Below that, you can't send private offers, which is one of the main tools for closing slow listings.
- Buyer protection on Vinted is funded by the buyer's fee and includes a payment-hold-until-receipt system plus a dispute window. If a buyer raises a problem within the protection window, the buyer's payment is held until it's resolved.
- The buyer sees the protection fee at checkout — so your listed price isn't quite what they pay. That's worth knowing when you're pricing: a £20 item costs the buyer roughly £21–22 plus shipping. They're doing that arithmetic already.
