I had the impression that it was primarily a secondhand clothing site, but last week a friend suggested that I sell on Vinted, based on her experience selling her own original paintings there for good prices. And I’ve been seeing their ads everywhere!
Does anyone here have any firsthand selling experience? Thoughts? Tips? Warnings?
Hearing some Ebay sellers sing the praises of Vinted, I did a little investigating. I too have seen the ads and suspected that their target demographic was not one which interested me.
The merchandise being offered there seemed targeted at Gen Z.
The fee structure also seemed targeted toward Gen Z, no seller fees, buyer fees identified as Buyer Protection. And some have claimed the shipping is free, but I do not see evidence of that.
If I had the products to sell to Gen Z, I would sell there, for as long as they last. I do not see enough monetization of the site to allow it to grow and thrive, and I suspect they will be unable to maintain their users when they revamp their fee structure.
A major thread on Vinted on the Ebay forum got heated and was nuked. I do not think it was because Ebay was concerned about discussion of Vinted.
