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 fee on top of your price — Vinted calls it the Vinted fee (a few of its help pages still say Buyer Protection fee). 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 for one item) or Showcase (paid promotion of your whole wardrobe, formerly Wardrobe Spotlight). Postage isn't one of them: the buyer pays it at checkout, and Vinted sends you a pre-paid label.
The current fee structure
| Fee | Who pays | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Listing fee | — | £0 |
| Selling commission | — | £0 |
| Payment processing | — | £0 |
| Vinted fee (some Vinted pages still say Buyer Protection fee) | Buyer | Usually 3–8% of the item price + £0.30–£0.80, depending on the item, the order value and whether it's a bundle (paid on top of your listed price) |
| Bump / Showcase (paid visibility) | Seller (optional) | Bump depends on the item price and a 3- or 7-day duration; Showcase on how many listings you promote and their value. Both shown before you pay |
| Postage (Vinted's pre-paid label) | Buyer | Chosen and paid for by the buyer at checkout |
You receive 100% of your listed price into your Vinted balance. A sale completes when the buyer presses Everything is OK, or two days after the parcel is marked as delivered if they report nothing; the payment then moves to your available balance within two days. From there you can withdraw to your bank account, and Vinted's own terms describe payouts as free of transfer fees. A withdrawal can take up to five business days to arrive.
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) + the Vinted fee (usually about £1.65–£4.40 on a £45 item) + postage = around £50–£55 depending on the fee and the shipping option they chose.
- What you spent: £0.
That £45 moves to your available balance within 2 days of the order completing. You can then withdraw it to your bank; Vinted's help centre lists no fee for doing so.

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 2024) | 2.9% + £0.30 payment processing per transaction |
| eBay UK (private) | 0% on most items | £0.35 per listing above the 300 free monthly allowance; buyer pays a separate Buyer Protection fee, included in the price they see |
| Vestiaire Collective | 12% on items £83 and over; £10 fixed under £83 | 3% payment processing (minimum £3) |
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.
- Buyer cover on Vinted is funded by the buyer's fee (Vinted's refund policy) 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 Vinted fee while browsing and 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.

Fees on this page were checked against Vinted's own help centre on 19 October 2026: the "Vinted fee" article, "Is using Vinted free?", and the Vinted Balance, withdrawal, Bump and Showcase articles. The payout wording also follows Vinted's Pro terms, read 16 October 2026. Vinted publishes the buyer fee as a range rather than a single rate, so treat the amount shown at your own checkout as authoritative. Vinted's fee structure can change — if you spot a discrepancy, please flag it to hello@worthmore.uk and we'll fix it within 48 hours.
