Making money on Vinted: the real numbers

Between a €40-a-month wardrobe clear-out and a €2,000 business, everything comes down to how many listings you keep active and the time you can give it.

Short answer

Vinted income follows a simple mechanism: number of active listings multiplied by monthly sell-through rate multiplied by average basket, minus fees and stock cost.

The ceiling is almost never demand — it's the time spent writing, relisting and replying to buyers. That's where automation changes the scale you can reach.

Rough benchmarks

  • 30 active listings, personal wardrobe: a few tens of euros a month.
  • 150 listings, regular sourcing: several hundred euros.
  • 400+ listings, organised buy-and-resell: a full-time activity.
  • Beyond that, professional status becomes necessary.

The margin calculation not to forget

Subtract the purchase price, service fees, packaging and the time spent. An item bought for €3 and sold for €15 leaves a decent real net margin; the same item sold for €6 doesn't even cover the time spent writing the listing.

The lever that raises the ceiling

With the same amount of time, only better preparation increases the number of listings you can manage. Revindo drafts listings, price estimates and buyer replies from your computer, so each listing takes less of your time.

Frequently asked questions

How much can you make on Vinted per month?

Anywhere from a few tens of euros for a personal wardrobe clear-out to several thousand for a buy-and-resell business with hundreds of active listings.

Can you make a living from Vinted?

Yes, but it requires regular sourcing, a large volume of listings and, eventually, registering as a professional seller.

What margin should you aim for per item?

A ratio of at least three between buying price and selling price lets you absorb fees and the time spent.

Do you need to declare this income?

Yes, as soon as you buy items to resell them. Occasional sales of your own belongings aren't affected.
