Does Vinted charge sellers anything?

No. There is no seller commission, no listing fee and no payment processing fee. The buyer pays a Buyer Protection Fee of 5% plus $0.70 instead.

How much does a buyer pay on top?

Five percent of the item price plus a flat $0.70, before shipping. On a $50 item that is $3.20, making the buyer total $53.20 plus postage.

How does Vinted make money if selling is free?

From the Buyer Protection Fee and from shipping. Sellers are not the revenue source.

Is Vinted cheaper than eBay and Poshmark?

For sellers, unambiguously. A $50 sale returns $50 on Vinted against roughly $43 on eBay and $40 on Poshmark. The counterweight is reach: Vinted's buyer base is smaller.

Can US sellers on Vinted sell to Europe?

Not currently. The US marketplace is domestic-only, so American sellers can only reach American buyers.

Who pays for shipping on Vinted?

The buyer. Shipping is priced by parcel size tier and added at checkout.

Is the fee different in other Vinted markets?

The zero-seller-fee model is consistent, but shipping tiers and Buyer Protection amounts are set per market. Check Vinted's own help pages for your country.

Short answer

Vinted charges sellers no commission, no listing fee and no payment processing fee. Whatever price you list at is what lands in your Vinted balance. The cost is shifted to the buyer, who pays a Buyer Protection Fee of 5% of the item price plus a flat $0.70, on top of the price and shipping. On a $50 item the seller receives $50; the buyer pays $53.20 plus postage.

Where the cost went instead

Vinted does not take a percentage from the seller. Nothing is deducted at settlement — no commission, no processing, no listing charge. The buyer pays a Buyer Protection fee of 5% plus a flat $0.70 on top of the item price.

The practical consequence is that your asking price is more directly comparable across platforms than usual. A $50 listing returns $50 here, against roughly $43 on eBay and $40 on Poshmark.

The catch is reach and weight

Vinted's seller economics are the best in resale; its reach is the narrowest of the platforms compared here. The US operation launched in earnest in January 2026 and is currently domestic-only, so American sellers cannot reach the European buyer base that made Vinted Europe's largest resale marketplace.

Selling is also front-loaded with effort: photography, listing speed and price competitiveness carry more weight here than on platforms where buyers search by brand and model number.

What the Buyer Protection fee does to conversion

Because the fee is added at checkout, the buyer sees a total above your asking price. That is the same trade-off eBay UK private sellers face. It can soften conversion on price-sensitive listings, which is worth watching if your sell-through rate matters more than your margin per sale.

Formula

seller fees = 0      buyer pays = item price × 1.05 + $0.70 + shipping

What each term means

0: everything Vinted charges the seller: commission, listing fee and processing
5% + $0.70: the Buyer Protection Fee, charged to the buyer on the item price
shipping: set by the parcel size you choose and paid by the buyer at checkout

Assumptions

US Vinted, USD, domestic sales — the US marketplace is currently domestic-only.
No seller-side deduction is modelled, matching Vinted's published fee structure.
Shipping is treated as fully buyer-paid. Custom shipping arrangements and oversize items can break that assumption.

The zero-fee model matters most on cheap items, where Poshmark would take $2.95 and eBay about $2.00 on the same sale.

Common mistakes

Budgeting Poshmark-style fees out of habit

There are none on the seller side. Deducting a notional commission from a Vinted sale understates your real margin.

Ignoring the effect of the buyer-side fee on conversion

The Buyer Protection Fee is added at checkout, so the buyer's total exceeds your asking price. That can reduce sell-through even though it costs you nothing.

Assuming you can reach international buyers

The US marketplace is domestic-only at present. International reach is not available to American sellers the way it is within Europe.

Listing without checking parcel size

Shipping is priced by the size tier you select at listing. Choosing too small a tier causes problems at the label stage; choosing too large a tier prices you out of the comparison.

Treating it as a substitute for eBay

Zero fees are worth less than zero sales. Vinted's buyer base is narrower, so it is usually a complement to eBay rather than a replacement.
