How to Price Clothes on Vinted So They Actually Sell
Here's how to price clothes on Vinted: search for the same item, see what similar ones actually sold for (not what people are asking), then set your price a little above that so you have room for offers. Adjust for brand and condition, turn on bundle discounts, and drop the price by about 10 to 20 percent if it hasn't moved in two weeks.

How to price clothes on Vinted: check what similar items sold for
Asking prices are wishes. Sold prices are facts. This is the most important of all the how to sell on Vinted tips.
How to find sold items on Vinted
- Search the brand and item type, e.g. "Levi's 501 jeans" or "Nike tech fleece hoodie."
- Filter by size and condition so you're comparing like with like.
- Look for listings marked as sold. They still show in the feed and on sellers' profiles.
- Note five or six sold prices and ignore the highest and lowest.
- Your target is roughly the middle of what's left.
If you can't find sold versions, check other resale apps (Depop, eBay sold listings) for the same item. Prices across apps aren't identical, but they give you a range.
Note: Vinted is biggest in the UK and Europe, and where it operates has changed over time in North America. If it's not live where you are, this exact pricing method works on Depop, Poshmark and eBay too.
Pricing by brand and condition
Once you have a sold-price range, adjust for your specific item.
| Your item | Price vs the sold average |
|---|---|
| New with tags | At or slightly above |
| New without tags, never worn | About the same |
| Very good, lightly worn | Slightly below |
| Good, visible wear | Noticeably below |
| Flaws (marks, pilling, holes) | Well below, and say why |
Brand tiers (roughly)
- Fast fashion (Shein, Primark, basic high-street): often sells for very little. List in bundles.
- High street and mid-range (Zara, Mango, Abercrombie, Aritzia in Canada): steady sellers; price by condition.
- Sportswear and streetwear (Nike, Adidas, Carhartt, The North Face): strong demand, especially popular styles.
- Vintage and designer: research carefully, check authenticity rules, and don't underprice rare stuff.

How much to sell clothes for on Vinted: a quick example
Say you have a grey Nike hoodie in very good condition. Sold listings show £15, £18, £20, £22, £25 and £35. Drop the £15 and £35, and the middle is around £20. List at £23, which leaves room for an offer and still lands near £20.
Bundles and offers
Bundles are how you sell the cheap stuff without spending your whole weekend wrapping £3 tops.
How to set a Vinted bundle discount
In your settings, you can turn on bundle discounts, which give buyers a percentage off when they buy several items from you. Tiered discounts (bigger savings for more items) encourage people to add one more thing to the bag.
Good bundle ideas:
- Three basic tees in the same size
- A "going out" set: top, skirt and bag
- Kids' or school clothes by age
- Gym sets
Bundles also save you on packaging time, since one parcel covers several sales.
When and how to drop your price
Nothing selling after a week or two? Time for a change.
How to change price on Vinted
Open the listing, tap edit, change the price, and save. That's it. You can lower the price on Vinted as often as you like, but big, random swings make buyers wait for the next drop.
A simple price-drop schedule
- Day 1 to 14: list at your target price.
- Day 14: drop about 10 to 15 percent.
- Day 28: drop again, or bundle it with something that sells.
- Day 45+: consider donating, swapping, or relisting with better photos.
Before you drop, check your photos. Often the price isn't the problem; the cover photo is. Our guide to how to take pictures of clothes to sell covers the six shots every listing needs.
Handling lowball offers
A lowball is an offer that's way under your price, like £5 on a £25 jacket. It's annoying but normal. Don't take it personally, and don't get into a fight in the DMs.
How to reply to lowballers (copy and paste)
- "Thanks for the offer! The lowest I can do is £20."
- "Sorry, that's a bit low for this one, but I'm happy to do a bundle discount if you'd like anything else."
- Or simply decline the offer and move on.
Set your floor price before you list, so you never have to decide on the spot. If you're under 18, stay on the app's messaging, never move to Snapchat or WhatsApp, and never share your address outside the shipping label process.
The hardest part of pricing isn't the numbers, it's deciding what you're actually ready to let go of. You say "I'll wear it again" and then don't, for months. WORN is being designed to track that for you: one photo of your outfit a day, and after a month it would list the twelve things you never touch, which is your Vinted list, sorted.

Pricing mistakes that stop sales
Why is nothing selling on Vinted? Usually one of these:
- Pricing at what you paid. Buyers don't care what it cost new. Resale is resale.
- Pricing by emotion. "But I loved this dress" isn't a price.
- Too cheap, too fast. Underpricing can make people think something is wrong with the item.
- No sizes or measurements. Buyers skip listings they can't picture on themselves.
- Dark, blurry photos.
- Wrong season. Coats in July sit. Linen in November sits.
- Vague titles. "Nice top" vs "Zara black satin cami, size S, worn once."
Also remember that on Vinted, sellers generally don't pay a selling fee, and buyers pay a Buyer Protection fee on top of your price. So a buyer sees a slightly higher total than your listed price, which is another reason not to overprice.

It's not built yet, so you'll just get one email when it opens.
FAQ
How do you price items on Vinted as a beginner?
Search for the same item, look at sold listings, and price near the middle of those sold prices. Add a little on top for offers, and adjust down for wear or flaws.
How do I lower my price on Vinted?
Open your listing, tap edit, and change the price. Many sellers drop by 10 to 15 percent after two weeks without a sale, rather than making lots of tiny changes.
Do you pay fees to sell on Vinted in the UK?
Generally, sellers don't pay a selling fee on Vinted. Buyers pay a Buyer Protection fee plus postage on top of your item price. Fees and rules can change, so check Vinted's help pages for the current terms.
How much should I sell used clothes for?
For most used high-street clothes, expect a fraction of the original price, often somewhere between a quarter and a half depending on brand, condition and demand. Sold listings on the app are the best guide for your exact item.
Should I accept offers on Vinted?
Accept offers that are at or above your floor price, and counter the rest. Setting your floor before you list makes this easy and stops you from agreeing to lowballs when you're tired.
