5 Common Mistakes That Stop Your Items From Selling on Vinted
Listing an item on Vinted seems simple… but some mistakes can completely block your sales.
Here are the 5 most frequent mistakes we see in listings and how to easily fix them.
❌ 1. Unappealing Photos
Photos are your listing’s storefront. A poorly framed, dark, or blurry image turns buyers away.
What to do:
- Use good natural lighting
- Keep the item centered
- Avoid cluttered backgrounds
- Add a worn photo if possible (or use VintyLook)
❌ 2. Too Vague a Title
Many just write “Zara T-shirt” or “Black jeans”.
This helps neither the buyer nor Vinted’s search algorithm.
What to do:
- Include size, fit, fabric, or condition
- Examples:
“Zara high-waisted black slim jeans – EU 38”
“Flowy printed silk top – S/M”
❌ 3. Descriptions That Are Too Short… or Too Long
An empty description doesn’t build trust. But a long, unstructured block is just as bad.
Best practice:
- Describe the item in 3–4 sentences
- Mention the condition, fit, fabric, and shipping terms
❌ 4. Inconsistent Pricing
Too expensive? Nobody will click.
Too cheap? You might lose perceived value.
Tip:
Compare your item to similar listings and price slightly lower to encourage fast sales.
❌ 5. No Follow-Up on Your Listings
Vinted favors active sellers.
If you never update your listings, they fade into invisibility.
What to do:
- Write listings carefully
- Reactivate them regularly
- Respond quickly to messages
