The short answer
Vinted charges sellers nothing: no listing fee, no commission, no processing deduction. Sell something for €20 and €20 lands in your Vinted Wallet. The platform earns its money from buyers instead, through the Vinted fee (formerly the Buyer Protection fee) added at checkout: usually 5% plus €0.70 in the EU and US, and 3–8% plus £0.30–£0.80 in the UK. Sellers can also pay for optional promotions: Bump (3 or 7 days) and Showcase (7 days), both priced at checkout.
It sounds too good to be real, which is exactly why so many sellers search for the catch. After Poshmark’s 20% and eBay US’s 13.6%, a zero-fee platform reads like a trick. There is no trick, but there is a structure: someone pays for every order, and it’s just not you. Here’s where the money actually goes, and how to use the zero-fee model to your advantage.
Where a €25.19 payment goes when you sell for €20
The buyer pays more than your price. You keep exactly your price. Here is how the payment splits.
- You keep
- €20.00
- the full sale price
- Vinted takes
- €1.70
- Vinted fee (usual EU rate), from the buyer
- Carrier gets
- €3.49
- shipping label, from the buyer
The buyer pays €25.19. You receive €20.00. Vinted earns €1.70 without touching your payout.

Seven rows cover every cost that exists. Three are zeros, two are optional, and the other two never touch you. Rates differ between the UK and the EU, so both are shown.
| Fee | Who pays | How much |
|---|---|---|
| Listing fee | Seller | Free |
| Commission / final value fee | Seller | 0% |
| Payment processing | Seller | $0 |
| Vinted fee (formerly Buyer Protection) | Buyer | EU/US: usually 5% + €0.70 / $0.70 · UK: 3–8% + £0.30–£0.80 |
| Shipping label | Buyer (usually) | Varies by carrier and size |
| Bump (optional) | Seller | Shown at checkout; depends on item price and 3 or 7 days |
| Showcase (optional) | Seller | Shown at checkout; 7 days, depends on wardrobe size and value |

Illustrative. Seller fees only, from published rates (July 2026; eBay checked October 2026): Vinted 0%, Depop ≈3.3% + $0.45, Mercari 10%, eBay US 13.6% + $0.40 per order ($0.30 at $10 or less), Poshmark 20% over $15. Shipping and optional promotions excluded.
Bumps and Showcase: spend only when it pays
You can sell on Vinted for years without spending a cent. If you do buy visibility, here’s how to make it pay for itself.
Bump: 3 or 7 days, price shown at checkout
Pushes one listing higher in search results and newsfeeds for 3 or 7 days, within your country (some markets add an international option). Vinted publishes no fixed price: the fee depends on your item’s price and the duration, and you see it before you pay. As a reported example, Life Unexpected showed £1.00 for 3 days and £1.55 for 7 days on a £10 item (March 2026). More in what a Vinted Bump costs.
- Best for a well-priced item with strong photos that just needs eyeballs
- Skip it for stale listings: a bump amplifies, it doesn’t fix
- Re-list first, bump second. Freshness plus paid reach converts best
Showcase (formerly Wardrobe Spotlight): 7 days
Promotes your entire wardrobe for a week. You need at least 5 listings, and the price, shown at checkout, depends on how many listings you have and their value. The flat £6.95 still quoted online is the old Wardrobe Spotlight price.
- Makes sense at 15+ listings, when there’s a wardrobe to show
- Weak photos waste the week: Showcase shows your covers to buyers, so make them worth clicking
- Good before seasonal peaks (January clearouts, September refreshes)
From sale to wallet: nothing deducted, ever.
The number you list is the number you receive. The only variable is time: funds release after the buyer confirms the item arrived as described, which is why fast shipping and honest photos pay off twice.
The order completes when the buyer confirms, or automatically 2 days after delivery, and the money reaches your Vinted Balance (Vinted Wallet in the US) within 2 days. Withdraw it to your bank account whenever you like: the minimum is £0.10, €0.10 or $0.10, a transfer can take up to 5 business days, and Vinted lists no withdrawal fee.

The four steps to your money
- 1
Sale
The buyer pays item price + shipping + Vinted fee. Your price is locked in.
- 2
Ship
Print the prepaid label and drop the parcel off within 5 working days. Faster is better.
- 3
Confirm
The buyer confirms everything is OK. If they don’t, and don’t report a problem, Vinted completes the order automatically 2 days after delivery.
- 4
Paid
Funds reach your Vinted Balance within 2 days of the order completing. Withdraw to your bank account whenever you like (up to 5 business days to arrive). Nothing deducted.
“What’s the catch?” Three, and none are fees
Zero commission is real. But it changes how buyers see your prices and when your money moves. Know these going in.
01
Buyers pay more than your price
At checkout, the buyer sees your price plus the Vinted fee plus shipping. A €20 item costs them about €25. Price with the total in mind, because that’s the number they judge.
02
Your money waits for the buyer
Funds release only after the buyer confirms (or 2 days after delivery if they don’t). Ship fast, upload tracking, and a polite "everything OK?" message nudges confirmations along.
03
Promotions are tempting, not mandatory
Bumps and Showcase work, but plenty of sellers never buy either. Good photos, fair prices and regular relisting do the same job for free.
On Vinted, every extra euro your photos earn is yours.
Better listing photos can lead to more clicks, stronger offers and faster sales. On a platform that takes 20%, a higher price gets taxed. On Vinted, you keep all of it. Vintefy turns one phone photo into a studio-quality on-model shot in about 30 seconds.

Vinted fees: answered
Does Vinted charge sellers any fees?
No. Vinted charges sellers 0%: no listing fee, no commission, no final value fee and no payment processing deduction. When your item sells, the full listed price goes to your Vinted Wallet. The only optional seller costs are paid promotions: Bump and Showcase (formerly Wardrobe Spotlight).
What is the Vinted fee (formerly the Buyer Protection fee)?
A mandatory platform fee the buyer pays at checkout, not the seller. Vinted has renamed the Buyer Protection fee to “Vinted fee” and says the calculation hasn’t changed. Vinted’s EU and US price lists put it at usually 5% of the item price plus €0.70 (or $0.70), varying with the item, order value and bundles, so on a €20 item the buyer typically pays €1.70. The UK price list gives 3–8% plus £0.30–£0.80, depending on order value.
How much does a Vinted Bump cost?
Vinted doesn’t publish a fixed Bump price. The fee depends on your item’s price and the duration you choose (3 or 7 days), and in some countries on local or international reach; you see it at checkout before you pay. As a reported example, a UK blog showed £1.00 for 3 days and £1.55 for 7 days on a £10 item (March 2026). A Bump pushes that listing higher in search results and newsfeeds.
Is Vinted Showcase (formerly Wardrobe Spotlight) worth it?
Showcase promotes your whole wardrobe for 7 days and needs at least 5 listings. The price is shown at checkout and depends on how many listings you have and their value; the flat £6.95 still quoted online is the old Wardrobe Spotlight price. Worth considering once you have 15 or more well-priced, well-photographed listings. For a small or stale wardrobe, fix the listings first. Showcase amplifies what’s already there, good or bad.
When do I get paid on Vinted?
The order completes when the buyer confirms everything is OK, or automatically 2 days after delivery if they don’t report a problem. The money reaches your Vinted Balance within 2 days of that. Withdraw it to your bank account whenever you want (minimum £0.10, €0.10 or $0.10); a transfer can take up to 5 business days and Vinted lists no withdrawal fee.
Are there any hidden fees on Vinted?
No hidden seller fees. Sellers pay nothing unless they choose optional promotions. Buyers pay the Vinted fee and the shipping label at checkout, so those costs are visible before anyone commits.
How do Vinted fees compare to Depop and Poshmark?
On a $50 sale: Vinted pays you $50.00, Depop $47.90 (processing only), Mercari $45.00 (10%), eBay US about $42.80 (13.6% plus $0.40 per order) and Poshmark $40.00 (20%). Across 100 sales at that price, selling on Vinted instead of Poshmark keeps an extra $1,000 in your pocket.
Do buyers pay fees on Vinted?
Yes. Buyers pay the Vinted fee (usually 5% plus €0.70 in the EU, 3–8% plus £0.30–£0.80 in the UK) and the shipping cost at checkout. That’s how Vinted makes money while charging sellers nothing.
