Vinted charges sellers nothing. No commission, no listing fee, no payment processing fee. Whatever you list an item for is what you keep. The cost instead falls on the buyer, through a fee that's worth understanding even though it doesn't touch your payout. Here's how it actually works:
Nothing. If you list an item for $40 and it sells, $40 lands in your account, minus nothing. This is genuinely different from every other major resale platform, which all take some combination of commission and processing fees off the top.
That naturally raises the question of how Vinted makes money at all. The answer is the Buyer Protection Fee, charged to the buyer at checkout, not deducted from your sale.
This is the single biggest reason resellers add Vinted alongside platforms that do charge commission, like Mercari or Poshmark. The same item, sold at the same price, nets a meaningfully different payout depending on where it sells.
Vinted's Buyer Protection Fee is 5% of the item price plus a flat $0.70, charged on top of whatever you listed the item for. This fee is calculated on the item price only, not shipping, and it doesn't reduce your payout. It's added at checkout and goes entirely to Vinted.
It matters to you as a seller anyway, since it changes how a buyer sees your total cost. A $40 item effectively costs the buyer about $42.70 before shipping, even though you still receive the full $40.
Compare that to listing the same item on a platform with a 20% commission. You'd need to list it at $50 just to net the same $40, and the buyer would still only pay $50, not $52.70. Vinted's model shifts more of the total cost onto the buyer relative to what the seller keeps.
For resellers running multiple shops
Vinted's zero-fee model is a different calculation than Poshmark's commission or Depop's processing-only structure. If you're crosslisting the same inventory across platforms, those differences change your real margin on every sale. Oly syncs your listings and lets you set markup rules per platform, so your pricing accounts for each marketplace's actual fee structure instead of a flat guess.

Since there's no commission, Vinted is often where the same item nets the most. Worth prioritizing for inventory you're not married to a specific platform for.
At $0.75 to $3.00 per use, bumping is the only real cost most sellers will encounter. Reserve it for items that have been sitting rather than bumping everything.
As of Vinted's 2026 US launch, American sellers can only ship to American buyers. Factor that into how much volume you can expect from this platform right now.
Vinted charges buyers a Buyer Protection Fee at checkout, 5% of the item price plus $0.70, along with revenue from optional seller promotions like Item Bump and Closet Spotlight.
No. The fee is charged to the buyer on top of your listed price and goes to Vinted. It doesn't reduce your payout in any way.
