More than 300 issues were reported on Down Detector earlier.

Vinted has now confirmed the issues have been resolved.

One X user shared a screenshot of their Vinted app with an error message saying "something went wrong".

"Anyone know how to get past this problem on Vinted?" they asked.

Another user replied: "I think Vinted is down."

Meanwhile, a third social media user said: "Is the vinted app down or smt [something] because why was i able to upload pictures a second ago and now suddenly it won’t upload anything because it keeps giving me an error that my pics aren’t loading or whatever."

Someone else wrote: "Why is vinted down and not letting me upload when it’s one of the easy tasks I can do?"

Most of the problems reported so far are with the app, although a small number of issues have also been recorded with the website.

The reports peaked at about 12.30pm.

In a statement to The Sun, Vinted said: "A very small group of members may have experienced temporary issues while attempting to upload images.

"This was resolved as soon as the team became aware. The platform remained fully operational throughout and has not been down.

"Members experiencing issues can reach out to Vinted's support team directly in the app."

Has Vinted gone down before?

It is not the first time the popular online marketplace has had issues with its app.

Vinted users reported similar problems back in September, when thousands of users said the app was down.

At the time, users said they were unable to buy and sell items.

The problem peaked with over 3,000 reports of issues.

Another issue was reported last May, when The Sun revealed that sellers were being warned they may face long delays to get cash due to a payment glitch.

How does Vinted work?

VINTED is an app where you can buy and sell second-hand clothes and accessories.

Sellers can list items on the app for free and there are no fees for selling items either.

Instead, buyers pay a buyer protection fee on every transaction, worth between 3% and 8% of the sale price before postage, plus 30p to 80p depending on the item's value.

This fee contributes towards protecting buyers if they have a problem with their order.

Any money you earn as a seller goes into your Vinted Wallet, which you can then withdraw out to your bank account as cash.

The reselling platform previously confirmed its payment provider had been suffering from a tech issue and it was working to rectify it.

The problem related to tech issues with Vinted's third party payment service provider, Mangopay.

What can I do if my money isn't paid out?

If you're struggling to get your cash from Vinted, first get in touch with the app and let it know you haven't received your money.

Provide evidence to show you haven't received the money, such as your latest bank statements.

There is also information on Vinted's help page for users who haven't seen their money hit their bank account.

How to make money on Vinted

Selling on Vinted can be a great way to make extra cash - especially if you're doing a wardrobe clear-out.

Last month, we revealed how one seller made £400 in four weeks on the platform and her tricks for getting sales.

Meanwhile, another savvy seller earned £2,100 by selling old clothes on the platform.

The easiest way to use Vinted is on the app, although there is a website too.

You'll first need to create a profile.

Once you're set up, you'll be able to upload items you want to sell to your profile.

You'll need pictures of each item and you can add up to 20 photos.

Make sure they're clear and show different angles of the item.

You should take pictures of any imperfections, such as stains or pulled stitching.

It can also help to take a picture of the label, particularly if the item comes from an expensive brand.

The listing should also contain a description of the item, ideally with as many details as possible.

For example, you might want to say if the sizing is slightly off or true to size, and if the item has only been worn a few times.

You will also need to select a category for the item and set a price.

The app will usually show you listings of similar items to give you an idea of how to price it.

Some Vinted users will try to haggle you down on the price, so it's worth bearing this in mind.

Of course, if you're looking to sell quickly then you might want to set the price low to undercut other sellers.
