The short answer

Poshmark suits North American sellers of brand-name fashion who don't mind a social, daily-sharing style of selling. Vinted suits people in Europe or the US clearing out clothes or buying second-hand cheaply. The biggest difference is who pays: Poshmark takes a commission from sellers on each sale, while Vinted charges private sellers nothing and adds a service fee for buyers instead.

Poshmark or Vinted: our take

Both are second-hand marketplaces with apps for iPhone and Android and a website, and both give sellers a prepaid shipping label when an item sells. The fee structure is where they split. Poshmark takes a commission from each sale, which is higher on most items than on rivals, and buyers pay no extra fee. Vinted charges 0% for private sellers; buyers pay a service fee on every purchase, which funds buyer protection with a refund if an item doesn't arrive, is damaged or is significantly not as described, as long as the problem is reported shortly after delivery.

The selling style differs too. Poshmark is social: sellers have followers, share each other's listings and can sell through live shopping shows, which helps listings get seen but rewards people who spend time in the app every day. Buyers can make offers and bundle items from one seller. Vinted is simpler: photograph, price, list, and ship when it sells. Vinted also covers more than fashion, with kids' items, home goods, electronics, books and designer pieces, while Poshmark focuses on fashion, accessories, beauty and home.

Geography often decides it. Poshmark serves only the US and Canada and has a community of 80+ million users. Vinted, founded in Lithuania in 2008, operates in many European countries and in the US.

Choose Poshmark if you sell mid- to higher-priced brand-name clothing in North America and enjoy the social side. Choose Vinted if you are in Europe, want to keep the full sale price as a seller, or are buying cheap second-hand items and value buyer protection. US sellers with lots of low-priced items may find Vinted's no-fee model keeps more money in their pocket.

What is Poshmark?

Poshmark is a resale marketplace focused on fashion, accessories, beauty and home goods, with a social twist: sellers have followers, share each other's listings and can sell through live shopping shows. Listing works from the app or web: snap photos, set a price and post. When something sells, Poshmark supplies a prepaid, pre-addressed shipping label, and sellers are paid once the order completes. Buyers can make offers and bundle items from one seller. Instead of charging buyers a fee, Poshmark takes a commission from each sale, which is higher on most items than on rivals. It serves the US and Canada and runs on iPhone, Android and the web. The trade-off: the commission eats into margins on mid-priced items, the sharing-based model rewards sellers who spend time in the app every day, and the audience is mostly North American.

What is 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.
