Price your items appropriately
You need to price your item correctly in order to make more sales on vinted. Here’s why this is particularly important:
On vinted the buyer takes on the fees and there are no fees passed to the seller. Many resellers list their items for less than they sell on other platforms because they do not have to factor in the amount taken by fees.
Buyers taking on the fee means you are likely to find more buyers looking for a deal, some resellers on vinted are aware of this and will list their lower value items on the platform in order to sell the listing faster.
You can figure out what an appropriate price for your item is by searching for similar items. You can either price in line with those items but if you are looking to sell your item faster you can price your listing slightly lower than the average.
