Want to sell or buy clothes, toys or second-hand items? Get started on Vinted, a specialized platform that stands out for its ease of use, its large community and its low prices.
Since its launch in Our country in 2013, Vinted has carved out a place for itself in the second-hand market, alongside well-established players such as LeBonCoin. Everyone now knows the slogan "You no longer wear it? Sell it!", Widely used in its advertising campaigns. It must be said that the platform of Lithuanian origin is riding the very fashionable wave of second-hand products by participating in a form of circular economy. In addition, if Vinted was initially dedicated only to the sale of women's clothing, its services have extended to articles for children and men, to fashion accessories (jewelry, handbags, etc.), then to furniture, books and toys. Thus, beyond the "fashionistas" followers of the first hour who seek to quickly renew their wardrobe without breaking the bank, Vinted is now aimed at a much larger audience.
Besides its "virtuous" concept, Vinted owes its success to two things: its economic model and its ease of use. Sellers set the price they want and get it back in full, either in their virtual wallet or in their bank account, without commission. Buyers pay the asking price plus shipping and insurance - a guarantee that is currently the subject of a class action initiated by UFC-Que Choisir to the extent that this optional "buyer protection" but impossible to refuse. Above all, Vinted is easy to use, to sell as to buy, on computer with a web browser as on mobile since the service is available in applications for Android and iOS. To take advantage of it, all you need to do is open a free account, with an email address and a mobile phone number. Do not be surprised by the tone adopted: on Vinted, familiarity is required!
