About Vinted
Vinted is a peer-to-peer marketplace for second-hand goods, started in Lithuania in 2008 and best known for clothing, though it now also covers kids' items, home goods, electronics, books and designer pieces. Sellers photograph an item, set a price and list it for free; when it sells, they print a prepaid shipping label and drop the parcel off. Private sellers pay no selling fee. Instead, buyers pay a service fee on each purchase, which funds Vinted's buyer protection: a refund if an item doesn't arrive, is damaged or is significantly not as described, provided you report it shortly after delivery. Payments go through Vinted, and sellers are paid once the buyer confirms the order. It operates in many European countries and in the US, through apps for iPhone and Android and the website. The trade-off: buyers pay the extra fee on every order, the problem-reporting window is short, and listings are often low-priced, so selling many cheap items takes time.
Best for: People in Europe or the US clearing out clothes, or shopping second-hand fashion cheaply.
