A WOMAN who has made over £90,000 selling on Vinted has shared her top tips for a quick sale.
Irem has created a successful side hustle on the app, where people sell on their second hand items.
And she’s now doing her bit to pass on her selling knowledge to others, as she explained in a video on TikTok.
“I promise you, if you do these three things I’m about to tell you, you can sell anything on Vinted,” she said in the clip.
“I myself made £90,000 selling on the platform, so trust me, these tips work.”
Firstly, Irem said that the background in the pictures of your items must be clear.
“If you take nice, aesthetic photos that are nice to look at, you style the items, or you just use a plain white backdrop, your item will sell,” she said.
“Obviously, that’s only if you price your items reasonably, so do your research before listing, so you know if you’re listing it too low or too high.
“If you list it too high, it’s just not going to sell.”
Her second tip is to “upload consistently” – as doing so means “your items will sell a lot quicker”.
“If you have a big pile of clothes to get through, do a couple items a day, list a couple items a day,” she added.
“That way, you will stay on top of the algorithm, and your items will be pushed.”
And Irem’s third tip – one that’s overlooked by a lot of Vinted sellers – is to make full use of hashtags on the listings.
“When you write your description and your title, at the end, just use any relevant keywords,” she said.
“If you’re listing a pair of jeans, do jeans, bootcut, flare, Y2K, vintage, and just keep listing.
“Basically, when you do hashtags, every time someone searches up anything to do with the word you’ve put in your description, your item will show.”
She concluded her video by writing: “Try these three tips, and I promise you, your items will sell!”
Irem once again proved her credentials in another TikTok video, in which she showed off all the things she’d sold in just 12 hours on Vinted – making herself a tidy profit of £620.
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.
Among the items were some sexy lace nightdresses, a Guess vest top and some embellished jeans.
“That’s amazing! Need to make that amount of sales too!” one person commented on the video.
“Yesss I’ve had good sales this weekend-Tuesday !! Well done!” another added.
As a third said: “Love ittt!”
