A WOMAN has revealed that she rakes in cash and has over 300 followers on Vinted.
As a result, Becca, 27, a size 8 bargain hunter from the UK, has revealed her quick hacks that really makes sales fly.
According to this mother, there’s five simple things that you can do “to make consistent sales on Vinted”.
Becca claimed that there’s a ‘tedious’ task that you must do to make cash quick, and shared why you should stop offering people discounts.
Posting on social media, Becca, who has 360 followers on the marketplace app, firstly stressed the importance of ensuring your shipping options are effective for you.
She recommended: “Turn your shipping options only onto ones that you can successfully fulfil and send out reasonably quickly.”
Becca then confirmed that she doesn’t ship with Royal Mail, or those that require a printer, as she only uses digital labels, to make her life easier.
She revealed that she often uses Evri, InPost and Yodel, because they are local to where she lives.
Not only does she then not have to pay for petrol to get to the shipping locations, but it also enables her to ship out her parcels within 48 hours, which is how Becca has got so many five star reviews.
As well as this, Becca revealed the importance of photos – and the somewhat ‘excessive’ task that makes all the difference.
She continued: “Take photos of your clothing from every single angle – I mean literally every angle, include the tags, include the back, include the sleeves, etcetera.”
Becca claimed that whilst this task may seem “a bit tedious” and “a bit excessive”, she revealed that doing so will please buyers and could lead to potential sales.
In addition to this, Becca advised: “Make sure you are including any photos of any imperfections or stains or marks in your photos.”
The savvy mum advised sellers to “include everything”, because people “appreciate the honesty”.

In addition to this, Becca explained why she will never message people with offers.
She confessed: “I personally don’t send any spammy messages – I know some people make a lot of sales from following up messages when people favourite their items. I personally don’t do this.”
Becca claimed that she doesn’t do this, because as a buyer, she finds it “a bit pressurising”.
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.
Finally, Becca stressed that sellers must take advantage of the bundle discounts feature.
She concluded: “Make sure you’ve got your bundle discount on – people love to buy bundles on Vinted.”
QUICK facts on tax from the team at Vinted...
The Vinted whizz shared that people love a good deal and want to get more for their money, so if you offer bundle discounts, you are more likely to make bigger sales.
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @becca.f.lifestyle, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as Vinted sellers were quick to take to the comments to thank Becca for her advice.
One person said: “Great tips.”
Another added: “Sending offers never works for me! So won’t be doing it anymore.”
