Vinted Fee, Profit & Tax
Calculators for UK Sellers

No. Vinted does not charge sellers a commission or listing fee. Sellers receive 100% of their listed price. The buyer protection fee is paid by buyers on top of the item price.

The buyer protection fee is a mandatory charge added to every buyer's order at checkout. It's paid by the buyer - not the seller - and ranges from approximately 3% to 8% of the item price plus a fixed fee of £0.30 to £0.80. The exact amount depends on the item price, category, and order type.

If you are simply selling your own used personal possessions (decluttering), you generally do not need to pay income tax regardless of how much you make. If you are buying items specifically to resell for profit (trading), HMRC allows a £1,000 trading allowance per tax year across all platforms. Exceed that and you must register for Self Assessment. Always check HMRC's guidance directly at gov.uk.

When using Vinted's integrated shipping, the buyer selects and pays for the postage label at checkout. The seller receives a prepaid label at no cost. If you use your own postage outside of Vinted's system, you pay for shipping yourself.

No. Seller Profit is completely independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Vinted. We are an independent calculator resource for UK sellers.

Our calculators are based on Vinted's publicly available pricing information and HMRC's published guidance. The buyer protection fee is shown as an estimated range (3%–8% + £0.30–£0.80) because Vinted does not publish exact tier breakpoints - always check your Vinted checkout for the exact fee on a specific item.
