How to Start Reselling on Vinted (The 2025 Playbook)

Why Reselling Is Booming in 2025

The resale market is exploding, and platforms like Vinted are making it easier than ever to turn vintage clothing into profit. Whether you're looking for a side hustle or building a full-time business, Vinted offers low fees, a huge audience, and zero listing costs — making it the perfect place to start.

But here's the catch: most beginners waste weeks sourcing stock from thrift stores, only to find items that don't sell. The secret to scaling fast? Consistent, quality inventory from day one.

Step 1: Find Consistent Stock (Without the Thrifting Grind)

Let's be honest — thrifting sounds romantic until you've spent 6 hours digging through racks for 2 sellable items.

The problem with thrifting:

  • Time-consuming and unpredictable
  • Hit-or-miss quality
  • Hard to scale beyond a hobby
  • You're competing with other resellers for the same stock

The smarter way: Source from a vintage wholesale supplier who hand-picks quality pieces for resale. You get curated stock that's ready to list, photograph, and sell — no digging required.

What to look for in wholesale vintage:

  • Authentic branded pieces (Nike, Adidas, Ralph Lauren, Levi's)
  • Good condition with minimal flaws
  • Trendy styles (Y2K, 90s sportswear, vintage denim)
  • Variety in sizes and categories

If you want to skip the sourcing grind, try our 5-piece Starter Box — curated for beginners who want stock that sells fast. No minimum order, no risk, just quality vintage ready to flip.

Step 2: Build Listings That Convert

Your photos and descriptions are everything on Vinted. Here's how to stand out:

📸 Photography tips:

  • Use natural light or a simple lightbox
  • Shoot on a clean, neutral background
  • Show front, back, label, and any flaws
  • Style the item on a hanger or flat lay
  • Keep it consistent across your shop

✍️ Writing descriptions that sell:

  • Start with the brand and item type (e.g., "Vintage Nike Hoodie")
  • Include size, measurements, and condition
  • Use keywords buyers search for ("Y2K", "oversized", "retro")
  • Be honest about flaws — it builds trust
  • Add styling suggestions or era context

💰 Pricing strategy:

  • Research similar items on Vinted to stay competitive
  • Price slightly higher to leave room for offers
  • Aim for 100-300% markup depending on brand and condition
  • Offer bundle discounts to increase order value

Step 3: Reinvest Profits & Scale Up

Once you make your first sales, reinvest immediately. The faster you turn inventory, the faster you grow.

Scaling checklist:

  • Reinvest 50-70% of profits into new stock
  • Track what sells fastest and buy more of it
  • Automate with tools like bulk listing apps
  • Build a recognizable brand style
  • Engage with your audience on Instagram or TikTok

Common Mistakes Beginners Make

Avoid these pitfalls to save time and money:

  • Buying random items without research — Know what sells before you source
  • Overpricing or underpricing — Do your market research
  • Poor photos — Blurry or dark images kill sales
  • Ignoring trends — Y2K, 90s, and sportswear are hot right now
  • Not reinvesting — Treat it like a business, not a one-time flip
