Vinted Fee Calculator (UK) 2026

No — Vinted charges sellers zero commission on sales. This is unique among UK resale platforms (eBay, Depop and NOTHS all charge seller fees). Vinted's revenue model is based on buyer protection fees paid by buyers, and optional promoted listings purchased by sellers. Sellers receive 100% of their listed price, making Vinted especially attractive for lower-priced items where fees on other platforms would eat most of the margin.

Vinted buyers pay a buyer protection fee of 3-8% of the item price, with a minimum of £0.30. The percentage is tiered — lower-value items attract a higher percentage (e.g. a £5 item might carry a buyer protection fee of £0.70 at 8%+minimum), while higher-value items attract around 3%. The buyer protection fee covers Vinted's buyer guarantee: if an item is not as described or not received, Vinted will refund the buyer.

Selling personal second-hand items at a loss or for roughly what you paid is generally not taxable. However, if you regularly buy items with the intention of selling them for profit ('trading'), HMRC treats this as self-employment income — taxable via Self Assessment. From January 2024, Vinted (like all major platforms) reports seller data to HMRC under DAC7 rules for sellers who complete more than 30 transactions or earn over €2,000 (approximately £1,700) per year.
