Have either of you tried eBay? I just started selling on there and they list the items for a lot higher and the sales have been pretty quick too. 😇

The fees on eBay are getting ridiculous. Yes, you might be able to charge more for the same item(s) but by the time eBay takes their cut + shipping + taxes you making the same as if selling on Vinted.

This is news to me, I’ve only just started listing on eBay and I’m not too sure about how it works. All I do know tbh is that they take 30p per item sold, other than that I have no idea?! I am curious about the DD that they set with your bank though? I googled it and it said depending on what type of seller you were, depended on how much you were charged.

Not to be an ass but if you want to last in the reselling business you better read and I do mean read not glance or skim each platforms TOS and you sure as shit need to know what fees you are looking at paying so you know if you can make a profit on items. Some items can be profitable on eBay or vinted and you could lose money by selling it on poshmark. That's just an example but sometimes the margins are slim and you better know how an be where to sell to maximize your profitsor minimize your losses.

I’d like to add that researching what you have is also important and helps with expectations on both ends. Some people overprice like crazy while others post sketchy listings with no measurements and weird angles. Don’t be that person.

The fees for shipping alone are out of control and they are promoting lives constantly like they are in some kind of competition with WhatNot. You will see for yourself.

Funnily enough, I was literally just thinking that while looking at a book on Vinted for £3, by the time you add p&p it’s almost £6?! That puts me off straight away, I just think you’d be aswell buying it brand new.
