Vinted Fees Explained: What Buyers and Sellers Actually Pay (2025)

Vinted's fee structure is one of its biggest selling points — but it's slightly confusing because the fees fall on different parties. Here's exactly what everyone pays.

Seller Fees: Zero

Sellers pay nothing to Vinted. There are no listing fees, no selling commissions, and no subscription costs for standard selling. If you list a jacket for €50 and it sells, you receive €50 (minus shipping if that's buyer-pays).

This is what makes Vinted exceptional compared to competitors. On eBay, selling the same jacket at €50 with a 13.5% final value fee nets you €43.25. On Depop at 10%, you'd receive €45. On Vinted: full €50.

Buyer Fees: Protection Fee

Buyers pay a buyer protection fee on every purchase. This is structured as:

• 5% of the item price
• Plus a fixed fee of €0.70
• Minimum fee: €0.70
• Maximum fee: €8 (for items over €146)

Example: buying a €40 jacket costs €40 + (€40 × 5% = €2) + €0.70 = €42.70 total.

This fee funds Vinted's buyer protection system — the escrow that holds payment until you confirm receipt, and the dispute resolution process if something goes wrong.

Shipping Costs

Shipping is separate from both the item price and the buyer protection fee. How it works:

• The seller sets whether shipping is included in the price or paid separately by the buyer.
• Vinted provides prepaid shipping labels at negotiated carrier rates — typically cheaper than booking directly.
• Shipping costs vary by country, carrier, and parcel weight. In the Netherlands, DPD labels start around €3.20 for small parcels. In France, Colissimo starts at €4.50.
• Sellers can alternatively use their own shipping method, in which case they set a custom shipping price.

Currency and Withdrawals

When a sale completes, money goes into your Vinted wallet. Withdrawing to a bank account is free and typically takes 1–5 business days depending on your bank. There are no withdrawal fees from Vinted itself.

Vinted Pro (For Business Sellers)

Individual sellers using Vinted under personal accounts pay zero fees. Vinted Pro — for registered business sellers — does involve fees and VAT obligations depending on your country's tax rules. Most casual resellers and flippers operate under personal accounts without issue, but high-volume commercial sellers should check their local tax regulations.

What Affects Your Take-Home Price

As a seller, only one thing affects your net income: the price you set. Since there are no seller fees, pricing is simpler than on other platforms. The main variable is shipping — if you absorb it, your effective margin is item price minus shipping cost. If the buyer pays, you keep the full listed price.

Conclusion

Vinted's zero-fee model for sellers is genuinely unusual in the marketplace world. The tradeoff is that buyers pay a protection fee — but most buyers understand this as the cost of purchase security. For resellers comparing platforms, the math consistently favours Vinted for European markets.
