Frequently asked questions

Is Vinted cheaper than eBay in the UK?

Private Vinted and private eBay often both show £0 platform fee. Vinted Pro pays commission; eBay business pays FVF. Postage mistakes erase either “free” win.

Should I list the same item on both?

Yes if you can avoid double-selling. Use one floor price from break-even.
