Step-by-step guide to learn how to sell clothes on Vinted
If you've never used the app, it may seem somewhat complicated at first, but with this step-by-step guide to learning how to sell clothes on Vinted we'll explain how it works ,how shipments are made, how to receive money, etc.
Important: The first thing you should know, because there are some scams out there, is that everything, absolutely everything, is do through the app. Do not give your data, or bank account, or go to WhatsApp with any user. Needless! You don't have to meet anyone either, everything is done online. Let's see it:
How to create a Vinted account
The first thing, obviously, is to know how to create an account on Vinted. As with any app, you have to download it, on the Plya Store or the Apple Store depending on whether you have Android or iPhone.
Once the Vinted application is downloaded, you enter and you have to go to your profile.To do this, locate the icon, as seen in the image below: it is the one with the "little doll" on the right. Entering there you will access your account, which you will have to complete with a username, photos, etc. Once created: you can start selling!
How to upload a garment to Vinted
Once you have your profile up to date, we'll explain how to upload a garment to Vinted: it's not a complicated process , but it is a bit labor intensive.
- The first icon you have to locate is the plus symbol. As we have marked in the image below. A screen will then open so you can start uploading your clothes.
- You will have to fill in all the fields: photos (they are very important), price, product status, etc. All your clothes will be in “Your closet”,which you can access (for example if you want to change a price), entering your profile.
Tip: The more detailed the description, the better, among other tricks to sell in the app. This way you will avoid unnecessary conversations with potential buyers. Which brings us to the next point:
How to talk to someone on Vinted
We're going to explain how to talk to someone on Vinted,because, no matter how detailed your product description is, they may a user writes to you, or that you need to contact a buyer or buyer: if the other person has a question about the size, for example; or if you are going to be late with the shipment and you must notify, among other examples.
Whatever the reason, the icon you have to use in this case is, as you may have imagined, the one with the envelope. Clicking there opens your messages section.Here you will find the conversations of other users about your products, as well as the notifications of the garments that have been marked as favourites.
To talk to someone, the way to do it is like any other messaging application. One of the advantages is that you can directly translate the texts, and write in your language without problem,regardless of where the person you are chatting with is.
How shipping works on Vinted
It is important to know how shipping works on Vinted, on the one hand, so that your sales are not canceled for not taking into account the times; and, on the other, because it is the point where there can be confusion (and deception).
We remind you: everything is done through the app. You don't have to meet, or give your details to the person you talk to.
The process is the following:
- When someone buys one of your clothes, you will receive a message through the Vinted app.
- In this message the button will appear “download label”. It is important that you download it within the next five days and that you send the package within the estimated term.
Don't know which one it is? Don't worry, the app itself will send you notifications, also by message. However, it is best that you do not take more than 5 days for the entire process, which is what the app recommends. Don't keep waiting or wait for money!
- Once you click "download label", go to your email, where you will have all the additional information you need, in addition to the PDF label.
- Then, print the label. You can receive only one, which will go on the outside of the package; or two, which you will have to cut, one for the outside and one for the inside. This will depend on the courier company.
Important: The courier company, as well as the expenses derived from shipping in Vinded are the responsibility of the buyer.
- Once the label has been printed, prepare the package and place them in the indicated place. It is important that the one on the outside of the package is clearly visible and that it does not cover the barcode.
- Once your package is ready, you have to go to the delivery point. The email you received will specify the company In addition, you will be provided with a link so that you can see which delivery point is closest to where you are. Just go there and deposit it.
When you get paid on Vinted
One of the points that you may be particularly interested in in this step-by-step guide to learning how to sell clothes on Vinted is: When do you charge on Vinted?Well, logically, it is charged when the sale has been completed.That is, when the buyer picks up the package. The money is then transferred (it may take a few hours or a day) to your balance.
To check your balance, you have to go to your profile and click on "my balance". There you will see how much balance you have accumulated from your sales, as well as the one you have pending (packages that you have sent, but have not yet reached their destination).
For this money to pass into your hands, you have to click on “Transfer to my bank account” and fill in the details of the same. As the app itself indicates, this can take up to 5 business days. With this step-by-step guide to learning how to sell clothes on Vinted, you can start uploading your clothes!
