What it does
Vinted is a second-hand marketplace covering clothing and other consumer categories. Its US explanation separates fee-free selling from purchases made through Buy now, which include a Vinted transaction fee.
Vinted's fee language needs to be read from the buyer's side of the transaction. The US how-it-works page advertises no selling fees, while stating that a Vinted fee is added to purchases through Buy now. Its selling flow begins with photos, a description and a price, followed by a prepaid-label route funded by the buyer's shipping payment. Begin with a specific item or category, then understand the total shown for that purchase rather than applying the seller's fee headline to the buyer. Clothing is central, but the catalogue also has home, books, electronics and hobby routes.
