Can You Actually Make Money on Vinted, and What's the Referral Link?

I listed five things on Vinted and sold two within one week. That’s a 40% sell-through rate, and I barely tried.

Here’s what happened. I downloaded the app, snapped some photos, listed five items — nothing fancy, just stuff I already had sitting around.

Within the first week, a pair of my brand-new Nike shoes sold.

Then I listed Labubu slippers (if you know, you know) and it sold within 24 hours. Twenty-four hours!

I listed them, went to bed, woke up, and somebody bought them.

I’m not going to sit here and tell you Vinted is going to make you rich.

But two sales out of five listings in three weeks, with basically zero effort?

That got my attention — turns out you can make money on Vinted without a lot of hustle.

No Seller Fees — You Keep the Whole Thing

Here’s the part that actually got me. When you sell something on Vinted, you keep the full sale price.

No commission, no listing fee, no final value fee. The price it sells for is the money you get.

If you’ve sold on eBay, you know the feeling. You sell something for $30 and by the time eBay takes their cut — the final value fee, the payment processing, whatever else they’ve layered on — you’re looking at $24, maybe $25.

Vinted doesn’t do that to you. You sell it for $15, you get $15. The whole thing.

Shipping Is Basically Free Right Now

Vinted’s running a shipping promo right now (updated late August 2026) that makes shipping either free or $0.99 per order.

New buyers get free shipping on their first purchase, and after that it’s $0.99. New sellers get free shipping on their first sales too.

Here’s why that matters if you’re the one selling: buyers are way more likely to actually hit “buy” when shipping isn’t eating up the deal.

Nobody wants to pay $8 shipping on a $12 item. But $0.99? People just do it.

I think that’s part of why shoes my moved so fast — the total price for the buyer was low enough that it was a no-brainer.

(This is US shipping only, and it runs while the offer lasts, so don’t sleep on it.)

Here's My $50 Referral Link — and How the Bonus Works

If you want to try Vinted, here’s my $50 Vinted referral link to copy paste in your browser:

Click here to sign up for $50 Vinted bonus with my referral link.

Here's how the bonus breaks down:

1.) List 3 items within 7 days of signing up. Once you do, you get $20 to spend on Vinted — that comes as four $5 vouchers.

2.) Sell 1 item within 30 days of signing up (to another member, using the Buy now button — not to me). Once you do, you get another $30 — that comes as six $5 coupons.

So you can get up to $50 in Vinted credit just for signing up, listing a few things, and making one sale.

That’s the Vinted sign up bonus — not bad for clearing out your closet.

The Honest Fine Print

Each $5 voucher and coupon expires after 90 days.

You can only use one coupon per order.

Coupons apply to orders of $10 or more, placed using the Buy now button.

Coupons cover the item price only — not shipping or buyer protection fees.

After you make sales, you can get your own referral code to share and earn up to $1,000 per year in referral coupons.

The shipping promo is US-only and runs while the offer lasts.

So Should You Try Vinted?

If you’ve got stuff sitting around that you’ve been meaning to sell — shoes, clothes, whatever — and you’re tired of eBay eating your profits, yeah. Try it.

I listed five things, barely thought about it, and sold two.

The Labubu slippers sold in under a day. I kept every dollar. And right now shipping is cheap enough that buyers are actually clicking buy.

Use my link, list three things, and see what happens. Worst case, you’re out five minutes of photo-taking.

Best case, you’ve got some extra cash and $50 in Vinted credit.
