How to properly sell clothes on Vinted?

More current than fast-fashion , more lucrative than the vide-dressing room between girlfriends, cleaner than Le Bon Coin , a parallel economy of the fashionista is being set up via a small turquoise application .

Vinted , Lithuanian platform for the sale and purchase between individuals, stands out as a response to over-consumption, empties overflowing cupboards and replenishes small purses. Or how to receive a return on investment thanks to our obsession for pretty clothes… Operation 13th month! To clear your mind and earn sprinkles, follow the guide.

It's the Marie Kondo minute . In front of his dressing room , we first ask ourselves several questions. Did I wear this garment this year? Does it give me pleasure? And if I don't want it anymore, is it in good enough condition that I can resell it, or should I give it away instead? How much could I get out of it? We take a long day to determine all that and see more clearly.

If the goal is above all to create a vacuum, we do not hesitate to donate or recycle old fashioned pieces that we could not sell for more than 5 €, which risk cluttering up the wardrobe for a long time and falling. the level of his Vinted dressing room .

At home, we put in a specific suitcase (or a square of the cupboard) all the parts for sale, without exception, so as not to look for them everywhere for hours after a sale has passed. And if these are old things left with your parents, too bad, we repatriate to avoid back and forth (and therefore the wait for the buyer).

You can also provide a suitcase for the pieces being considered, which still need to be photographed and uploaded . In addition, you will see more clearly on the place that you will gain once all this mess is cleared!

To illustrate your advertisement, it is forbidden to use the visuals of a photographer other than you. Suddenly, we split up with a small daytime photo shoot (for a better color rendering) and we are inspired by the e-shops that make us want: general photo on a hanger in front / behind, close-ups of the pretty details (or defects) and photo worn . No need to play it Mario Testino for hours, you can only put five! 3 minutes maximum per article is more than enough.

To avoid the parade of questions (size, measure, condition, colors, provenance, original price, etc.), we give as much information as possible on the item for sale. We specify the size, material, history, and we can even go so far as to give advice on how to wear it! You are the queen of service and friendliness .

OK for the money race, not OK for the lie . If your parts have defects , it is necessary to specify it and post pictures of them. Remember that if you had been deceived about the merchandise, you would not have been delighted. Beware of the bad mark to lower your average: opinions are very important for confidence. And karma will thank you!

Yes, sometimes the buyers are annoying, not always nice and negotiate as carpet merchants. No need to get upset though! We keep our cool and we remain friendly. At worst, we stop responding. At best, we laugh about it by browsing the Insta account @lescassecouillesdevinted , which lists the pearls of the genre. Hilarious.

At work, we take the opportunity to keep in a corner everything that looks like a sending object: boxes of all sizes, bubble envelopes for small objects, tissue paper lying around ... And we keep in mind that a suitable box will be more practical upon receipt than a huge package for a tiny t-shirt.

A little word of love , it's always nice! You will have to cut the packing slip in half (one part on the box, another inside). You will have room left next to the insert to slip inside the package to note a kindness to the person who trusted you. Beyond the free act, this will also help to retain your buyers.

Whatever your shipping preference as a seller, be sure to include it in your description. You can also (un) check them in “ My Settings ” - “ Sending ”, to prevent the buyer from rushing without consulting you on the one that seems less practical to you.

Option N ° 1: hand delivery . It is not silly to state that you are OK for a “ PMR ” in the neighborhood where you live or work. If the person comes to you to save shipping costs, it is also very beneficial for you since you avoid packaging and travel to the Post Office / relay point. However, we do not recommend going too far to arrange the other, because it is common for buyers to put down bunnies at the last minute, with no purchase commitment. Do not forget to remove the piece sold from your Vinted wardrobe afterwards.

Option N ° 2: sending by Mondial Relay , to be preferred! Especially if you live in Paris, where relay points are dispatched everywhere. We collect a box, we print the slip issued by Vinted , we stick it in a clearly visible way and zou, direction the relay point. Allow between 2 and 5 days for delivery , depending on the time and day of deposit. Also, prefer morning / noon at the start of the week to avoid the evening queue and the extra weekend delays.

Option N ° 3: the Post . Some buyers prefer this shipping method because it seems safer , but for the seller it is rather a hassle. The buyer pays more fees, which will be refunded to you with the payment, but it is you who must advance them to the post office , and beware of the bad surprise! As long as your package is a few grams more than expected, you will have to pay more and the difference will never be refunded to you. To avoid.

Now that you have all the keys in hand, it's your turn to play the merchant. Your banker will thank you.
