Between those who promise you €500 a month with zero effort and reality, there's a huge gap. Here are honest numbers based on your profile, and what you can actually expect to earn. 💸
What Vinted sellers really earn in 2026
Vinted is not a passive income machine. Your earnings depend on what you sell, the quality of your listings, and the time you invest.
The very occasional seller: €150 to €200 per year
You clear out your wardrobe two or three times a year, list around twenty items. €150 to €200 without overthinking it.
The regular seller: €200 to €500 per month
50 to 100 active listings, quality photos, optimized descriptions. €300 to €500 is realistic — as long as you keep refreshing your stock and polishing every listing.
The online thrift store: €1,000+ per month
Regular sourcing, a catalogue of several hundred items, presence across multiple platforms. Earnings can exceed €1,000 to €2,000, but let's be honest, it's almost a part-time job.
What really makes the difference
I remember a coat I listed for 3 weeks with no result using a flat lay photo. I redid the listing with a worn photo generated via VintyLook — sold within 48 hours at the asking price. Tested on about ten items since: the result is consistent.
The other levers: a fair price, complete descriptions (brand, size, condition, material), and consistency to stay visible in the Vinted algorithm.
A word on taxes
Above €3,000 in annual earnings, Vinted automatically reports your information to the tax authorities... So you'll need to declare it.
Selling better is all about presentation
With consistency and solid listings, €200 to €500 per month is achievable without making it your full-time job. The fastest way to make the most money with the least time? --> VintyLook
FAQ
Can you make a living from Vinted in 2026?
It's possible but rare. Sellers who live off it typically combine several platforms (eBay, Depop, Vestiaire Collective) and treat it as a real commercial activity.
Which clothes sell best?
Well-known brands (Zara, H&M, Levi's, Nike), vintage pieces, and items in good condition. Sportswear, coats, and jeans are among the most active categories.
Does Vinted charge a commission on sales?
No. Since 2020, Vinted no longer charges sellers a commission. The buyer pays a protection fee. You receive 100% of the listed price.
