I’ve made nearly £2k on Vinted & it’s easy money with 3 simple tricks… it means you’ll always be top of buyers’ searches
A WOMAN who has made almost £2,000 on Vinted has shared her 'basic 3' hack to guarantee sales.
Chlo regularly rakes in the cash through her side hustle, and has earned literally thousands since she started on the app.
She's now posting videos detailing her top tips to help others find similar success, with her latest telling sellers how to "push your listings to the top of the algorithm and secure those sales".
The first thing she says to do is to list daily, even if it's just one or two items a day.
"Vinted loves consistency, and active accounts get seen more,"
You should always use three keywords in the title - something like "brand, colour and size".

Doing this "boosts your SEO" and makes it easier for buyers to find you.
And lastly, Chlo recommends switching up the cover photo on your items.
"Rotating the first image can bring in fresh eyes, especially if it’s been sitting for a while," she explained.
In the caption for her TikTok post, Chlo wrote: "I’ve been using Vinted as a side hustle for the last two months, and honestly?

"There’s easy money sitting in your wardrobe.
"If I can do it, so can you!"
While the majority of people used the comments section on the TikTok post to share their Vinted accounts, others asked Chlo for advice.
"How do you guarantee things sell?" one sighed.
"Even with relisting, being active, and offers people aren't buying with my stuff being low priced!"
"Send offers, list items each day," Chlo replied.
"So for example if you have 10 things to list 2 a day for 5 days.
"More active, more eyes on items it seems.
New Vinted rules to be aware of
IF you fancy clearing out your wardrobe and getting rid of your old stuff on Vinted, you’ll need to consider the new rules that recently came into play.
If people are selling personal items for less than they paid new (which is generally the case for second-hand sales), there is no impact on tax.
However, since January 1, digital platforms, including eBay, Airbnb, Etsy, Amazon and Vinted, must share seller information with HMRC as part of a crackdown.
You're unlikely to be affected if you only sell a handful of second-hand items online each year - generally, only business sellers trading for profit might need to pay tax.
A tax-free allowance of £1,000 has been in place since 2017 for business sellers trading for profit - the only time that an individual personal item might be taxable is if it sells for more than £6,000 and there is a profit from the sale.
However, firms now have to pass on your data to HMRC if you sell 30 or more items a year or earn over £1,700.
It is part of a wider tax crackdown to help ensure that those who boost their income via side hustles pay up what they owe.
While your data won't be shared with HMRC if you earn between £1,000 and £1,700, you'll still need to pay tax as normal.
"If not selling relist them."
"I am losing the will with Vinted," another admitted.
"Going to give up I think.
"I sent a perfect dress with tags on out today and the buyer has damaged it to get money off, so I am just having it back."

"Oh I am sorry to hear this!" Chlo responded.
"It’s such a small minority - please don’t let these people put you off!"
