Vinted Fees Explained (2026)
Vinted is the rare marketplace that doesn't take a cut from sellers. If you're used to losing 10–20% on every sale elsewhere, here's the refreshing reality of selling on Vinted.
Sellers pay $0
No listing fee, no selling commission, no payment processing fee. You set a price, it sells, and you receive the full amount. There's simply no platform cut on the seller side.
Buyers pay the Buyer Protection fee
Vinted's revenue comes from a fee added on top of the item price at the buyer's checkout — usually a small percentage (~3–8%) plus a fixed fee (often ~$0.70). It's the buyer's cost, not yours, so it never reduces your payout.
Exact percentages vary by region and change over time — confirm current rates at checkout.
What you keep vs. other platforms
On a $40 sale, here's your seller payout:
- Vinted: $40.00 (you keep 100%)
- Poshmark (20%): $32.00
- eBay (~13%): ~$34.80
- Depop (~13% all-in): ~$34.80
That's $5–8 more per sale, every time — it adds up fast at volume.
FAQ
Does Vinted charge sellers a fee?
No. Vinted charges sellers nothing — no listing fee, no selling commission, no payment processing fee. When you sell an item, you keep 100% of the price you set. This is the big difference from eBay, Poshmark, Mercari, and Depop, which all take a cut from the seller.
So how does Vinted make money?
From buyers. Vinted adds a 'Buyer Protection' fee on top of the item price at checkout — typically a small percentage (around 3–8%) plus a fixed fee (often around $0.70). The buyer pays it; it doesn't come out of your sale. Vinted also earns from optional listing boosts and shipping.
What about shipping on Vinted?
The buyer pays shipping and Vinted provides the prepaid label, so shipping doesn't reduce your payout either. You just drop the package off. The main thing affecting your take-home is the price you set — not platform fees.
If sellers pay nothing, what does the calculator do?
It confirms your exact payout (your price, minus nothing on the standard sale) and lets you compare against fee-charging platforms — so you can see how much more you keep selling the same item on Vinted vs. eBay or Poshmark. Optional boosts and edge cases are easy to factor in.
