Chloe Georgina has shared how she made over £4,000 selling on Vinted while working full-time, sharing her proven strategies to maximise earnings on the resale platform
A savvy seller has revealed her secrets to raking in £4,000 through Vinted as a lucrative side-hustle, and she’s now sharing her four easy but effective strategy with others.
If your wardrobe is bursting with unworn clothes or your home is crammed with unused items, you could transform that clutter into some extra money by selling them on Vinted. The second-hand marketplace has become hugely popular with Brits, who flock to the platform to find bargain items to buy, or generate extra cash from unwanted possessions, with some even building thriving businesses or profitable side ventures from their sales.
Among them is Chloe Georgina, who revealed on TikTok that she’s earned an eye-watering £4,000 on Vinted whilst juggling a full-time job. She’s now created a video sharing her tried-and-tested methods for anyone looking to maximise their earnings on the site.
“I’ve made over £4k on Vinted while working full-time and never boosting my posts, so here’s how I get so many sales with low effort,” Chloe explained at the beginning of her video.
In the caption, she disclosed that she’d successfully done more than 500 sales through her Vinted account whilst maintaining her full-time job. She then explained her four essential strategies for achieving impressive sales figures on the platform.
q. Use hashtags
“In my experience, the biggest one has been utilising hashtags,” she advised as her first recommendation.
She explained that Vinted shoppers typically hunt for particular styles or trends – think Y2K, alternative, gothic, emo, and cottage core aesthetics.
With this in mind, Chloe advised sellers to include any relevant style tags in their listing descriptions, as doing so boosts visibility when buyers search using those specific keywords.
2. Avoid selling cheap items
“Next up, which has been super important for me, is not selling cheap things, because nine times out of ten, they won’t sell,” Chloe claimed.
Whilst it might appear odd that rock-bottom prices don’t shift stock, Chloe pointed out that once buyer fees and postage are factored in, customers often end up paying more than they would popping into a high street shop for the identical item brand new.
3. Bundle budget items together
“Something I’ve done in the past is bundle a bunch of the same sized Primark tops and stuff together,” Chloe said, stressing the importance of keeping them all the same brand.
By presenting everything neatly and including separate photos of each piece in the bundle, she’s successfully shifted clothing that previously languished unsold on her Vinted profile.
Rather than listing them separately on her page, she grouped them into bundle packs priced at £5, and she claimed she’s consistently managed to clear out items that had been gathering dust at home.
4. Don’t overprice your items
Moving to her fourth tip, Chloe emphasised the importance of understanding the true value of what you’re selling, and ensuring you’re not slapping an inflated price tag on it when listing on Vinted.
“I’ve seen so many things just sit there and not sell because people are still putting the price to high for something that you can still buy,” she explained. “Even if you can’t still buy it, if you bought something for £20, you can’t expect to get £18 from it.”
She reminded sellers that once the buyer’s fee and postage costs are factored in, the total expense could exceed what someone would pay for the item brand new in shops.
“I think you either have to accept the loss, or know that you’re gonna be waiting a while (most likely) for it to sell,” Chloe advised.
