A SAVVY Vinted seller has revealed that she has made over £4,000 on Vinted thanks to her very simple tips.
Chloe Chandler, a side hustler from the UK, claimed that reserving items on Vinted is a huge no no and stressed that people always make the same common mistake which explains why their items aren’t selling.
Not only this, but Chloe, a fashion fan who has cashed in £4,286.84 through the marketplace app, also highlighted the importance of making counter offers if you want to shift items fast.
The content creator and Vinted enthusiast took to social media to share her top tips and tricks to sell items quickly, leaving many open-mouthed.
The blonde-haired beauty, who is a top Vinted seller with over 500 five star reviews, claimed that those looking to earn thousands by selling their old stuff should never reserve items.
She stressed: “Never, ever reserve an item for somebody – nine times out of 10, they’ll come back and tell you that they don’t want it anymore or they just won’t get back to you and you have reserved it for no reason.”

She advised: “Say somebody offers you £10, offer £11 or £12 or £13, depending on what the price point was before they sent the offer.”
Not only this, but Chloe then shared the common mistake that many on Vinted make – and it’s about leaving items active for longer than a month.
To this, Chloe recommended: “After a month, say even three weeks, remove the item and re-upload it, especially during payday weekend.”
But that’s not all, as Chloe also highlighted why putting one word into the description should be avoided at all costs.
She expressed: “You shouldn’t just be putting ‘size medium’ or ‘great condition’ or ‘brand new’ – it should be a list of things about the item to make the buyer want to buy it. Write a whole paragraph if you can.”

The savvy seller concluded: “The last tip is to not be rude – even if they send you a really low offer, just be friendly, have a conversation, get a sale started with a conversation.”
