How Vinted fees work
- Vinted charges sellers ZERO commission and no payment processing fees. Sellers receive 100% of the item price they set.
- The Buyer Protection fee (typically 3-8%) is paid by the buyer at checkout — it does not reduce your payout.
- Shipping is integrated via Vinted's carrier partners; the buyer pays for shipping at checkout. Sellers print a pre-paid label.
- Vinted's zero-fee model is the distinguishing feature versus other resale marketplaces — buyer pool is smaller in the US (Vinted launched there in 2022) compared to eBay or Mercari.
- Sellers can pay for optional Bump listings or 'Wardrobe Spotlight' promotion. Not factored into base calculations.
Frequently asked about Vinted fees
Why is Vinted free for sellers?
Vinted moved its monetization to the buyer side — buyers pay a 'Buyer Protection' fee at checkout (typically 3-8% of the item price plus a small fixed amount). Sellers receive 100% of their asking price. This zero-fee model is Vinted's biggest differentiator versus other resale marketplaces, especially in markets where they're newer like the US.
What is the Vinted Buyer Protection fee?
The Buyer Protection fee is charged to the buyer (not the seller) at checkout. It covers Vinted's purchase protection program, which refunds the buyer if the item doesn't arrive or doesn't match the listing. The rate is typically 3-8% plus a flat amount, varying by region and item value. It does not affect seller payouts.
How does Vinted compare to Depop?
Vinted is cheaper for sellers (0% vs Depop's 3.3% + $0.45 payment processing) but has a smaller US buyer pool — Vinted launched in the US in 2022 and is still growing brand awareness compared to Depop's established presence. For higher-value items where the fee difference matters, Vinted wins on math; for trend-driven streetwear and Y2K fashion, Depop's buyer base may convert better.
