How much does Vinted take?
From the seller, Vinted takes nothing. There's no listing fee, no commission, no final value fee and no payment-processing fee on a normal sale. You keep the full price the item sold for, plus any postage the buyer paid you. The only money that moves is the buyer's: a Buyer Protection fee added to their total at checkout. That's the buyer's cost, not yours, and it never comes out of your payout.
The buyer pays that fee on the item price. Vinted publishes it as a range of about 3% to 8% plus a fixed £0.30 to £0.80, charged on the item price only, not on postage and not on tax. Vinted deliberately doesn't publish the exact per-price curve, so any single percentage is an estimate. As a working middle of that range, about 5% plus £0.70lines up with Vinted's own worked examples in other markets, so this tool uses that as the central estimate and shows the full band around it. If you're a seller working out your payout, you can ignore the buyer fee entirely. The calculator above shows your real profit either way.

Vinted fees at a glance (UK, 2026)
The seller pays £0. The only fee on a sale is the buyer's Buyer Protection fee, on the item price only. Vinted publishes it as a range, so the figures below are an estimate inside that range.
| Buyer Protection fee | Rate | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Published range | about 3% to 8% | plus a fixed £0.30 to £0.80 on the item price |
| Central estimate this tool uses | about 5% | plus £0.70 fixed, sits inside the published range |
| Charged on | item price only | not on postage, not on tax |
| Above about £500 | steps down to about 3% | the percentage appears to reduce on high-value items (estimate) |
The seller never pays a fee: no listing, commission, final value or processing fee. Optional buyer add-ons (Item Verification about £10, Electronics Verification about £5) are per item, paid by the buyer, and off by default. Source: Vinted's pricelist, verified 28 Jun 2026.
The Vinted Buyer Protection fee, explained
This is the number people search for, and the short answer is: the buyer pays it, not the seller. When someone buys an item on Vinted, a Buyer Protection fee is added to the buyer's total at checkout. It covers Vinted's buyer guarantee: your payment is held securely, you're refunded if the item never arrives or isn't as described, and you get support if something goes wrong. It's the buyer's cost. It isn't deducted from what the seller receives, and the buyer can't turn it off.
Vinted publishes the fee as a range, about 3% to 8% of the item price plus a fixed £0.30 to £0.80, charged on the item price only, not on postage or tax. Vinted doesn't publish the exact percentage for each price point, so any single figure is an estimate. About 5% plus £0.70is a working middle of that range and lines up with Vinted's own worked examples, so this tool uses it as the central estimate and shows the full band around it.
As a rough guide, on a £15 item the buyer pays around £1.45, on a £50 item around £3.20, and on a £100 item around £5.70. On a very high-value item the percentage appears to step down, so above about £500 the buyer fee doesn't keep climbing at the full rate. If you're a seller working out your payout, ignore the Buyer Protection fee entirely. You keep your sale price and your postage. The buyer's side of the receipt isn't your maths to do.
How Vinted fees work in 2026
Vinted is the simplest fee model of any resale app: one buyer-side fee, and nothing on the seller. Here's every part, starting with the seller reality.
Sellers keep 100%, there is no seller fee
Vinted charges sellers nothing. No listing fee, no commission, no final value fee, no per-order fee and no payment-processing fee. You keep the full item price plus any postage the buyer paid you. There is no store tier or subscription that changes this, because there is no seller fee to discount in the first place. Every seller line in this calculator reads £0.00.
The Buyer Protection fee (the buyer pays it, not you)
On every purchase the buyer pays a Buyer Protection fee on top of the item price. It covers Vinted's buyer guarantee: secure payment, refund cover if the item never arrives or is not as described, and support. Vinted publishes it as a range of about 3% to 8% plus a fixed £0.30 to £0.80. It is added to the buyer's total at checkout, it never reduces your payout, and the buyer cannot switch it off.
Why it is a range, and why this is an estimate
Vinted publishes the buyer fee as a band, about 3% to 8% plus £0.30 to £0.80, and doesn't disclose the exact per-price curve. So no tool can reproduce every checkout to the penny, and any single number is an estimate. This calculator uses about 5% plus £0.70 as the central figure. It sits inside Vinted's published range and lines up with Vinted's own worked examples elsewhere, and the band is shown around it. The percentage is charged on the item price only, never on postage or tax.
High-value items step down
On a very high-value sale the percentage appears to drop, so the buyer fee doesn't keep climbing at the full rate. Above about £500 this tool models the rate stepping down to roughly 3%, so on a £600 sale the buyer's fee works out near £18.70 rather than the full-rate figure. The exact threshold and mechanics aren't spelled out by Vinted, so treat the high-value step as an estimate and check the live pricelist.
Optional buyer add-ons (off by default)
On some items the buyer can choose to add a verification service: Item Verification for luxury goods at about £10 per item, or Electronics Verification at about £5 per item. The item is checked by Vinted before it reaches the buyer. These are buyer-elective, per item, and separate from the Buyer Protection fee, so they're off by default here and never folded into the headline estimate.
What the seller actually nets
Because there is no seller fee, your net is just the sale price plus any postage the buyer paid you, minus what the item cost you and what postage cost you to send. Buy a top for £6, sell it for £20 with the buyer paying the postage label, and you keep about £14 before your own packaging. The calculator turns that into net profit, margin and breakeven, so you can price with the number that actually matters to you.
Real Vinted sale examples (UK)
£20 jeans, cost £6
The seller pays £0 in Vinted fees and keeps the full £20 minus the £6 they paid, so about £14 before their own packaging. That's a 70% margin and a £6 breakeven. For context, the buyer pays a Buyer Protection fee of about £1.70 on top: roughly 5% of £20 plus £0.70, inside Vinted's 3% to 8% range, so somewhere around £0.90 to £2.40. That fee is the buyer's, it never touches your payout.
£50 coat, cost £8
Seller fee £0, so you keep the full £50 minus your £8 cost, which is £42 at an 84% margin. The buyer pays a Buyer Protection fee of about £3.20: roughly 5% of £50 plus £0.70, with the published range putting it around £1.80 to £4.80. Higher item price, higher buyer fee, but your side is unchanged. You still keep the full sale.
£8 t-shirt, cost £2
Even on a small sale the seller pays nothing and keeps the full £8 minus the £2 cost, so £6 left. The buyer's fee here is about £1.10: roughly 5% of £8 plus the £0.70 fixed part. On low-value items that fixed part is the bigger share of the buyer fee, which is why the effective buyer rate looks high on cheap items and settles down as the price rises.
£600 designer bag, cost £250
Seller fee £0, so you keep the full £600 minus £250, which is £350. Because the order is above £500, the buyer's rate steps down, so their Buyer Protection fee is about £18.70 rather than the full-rate figure. None of it reduces your payout. The high-value step is an estimate, so check Vinted's pricelist on a large order.
What counts as a good profit on Vinted?
There's no official "good" margin, but on Vinted the maths is about as clean as it gets, because there's no platform fee on your side to model. Your profit is your sale price plus any postage the buyer paid you, minus what the item cost you and what postage cost you to send. Source a coat for £8, sell it for £30 with the buyer covering the postage label, and you keep about £22 before your own packaging. That's your number, with no fee to subtract.
The calculator gives you three numbers to judge it by. Net profit is the pounds left in your pocket. Margin is that profit as a share of the sale. And the breakeven price is the floor, the sold price where your profit is exactly zero once your costs are in. Fast-moving stock can work on a thin margin because you turn it over quickly. Slow stock needs a fatter one to earn its space. Since Vinted doesn't take a cut, the lever that moves your profit most is your sourcing cost and your postage, not a fee you can shave.
How to keep more on Vinted
There's genuinely little to optimise on the fee side, because selling is free. So this is about pricing and costs, not fee tricks.
- ✓There is no seller fee to reduce. Selling on Vinted is free, so the cheapest fee is the one that doesn't exist. Spend the energy on sourcing and pricing instead.
- ✓Source cheaper, not list cheaper. Since Vinted takes nothing, your margin is set almost entirely by what you paid for the item. A lower cost in beats any fee trick.
- ✓Watch your real postage cost. The postage label is the buyer's, but your own packaging, tape and trips to the drop-off are a real cost. Track them so your margin is honest.
- ✓Price with the buyer fee in mind. The buyer sees the item price plus the Buyer Protection fee, so a sharp item price keeps your listing competitive even though the fee is theirs, not yours.
- ✓Bundle to spread the fixed part. When a buyer takes more than one item in a bundle, the fixed part of the Buyer Protection fee is shared across the order, which can make your listings more attractive.
- ✓Ignore the buyer fee when you work out your payout. It is not your cost. Your profit is the sale price and postage in, minus your own costs out.
Vinted fee calculator FAQ
Is selling on Vinted free?
Yes, for sellers. Vinted charges sellers nothing: no listing fee, no commission, no final value fee and no per-order fee. You keep 100% of the sale price plus any postage the buyer paid you. The only fee on a Vinted sale is the Buyer Protection fee, which the buyer pays, not you.
What is the Vinted Buyer Protection fee?
It is a fee the buyer pays at checkout, on top of the item price, that covers secure payment, refund cover and support. Vinted publishes it as a range of about 3% to 8% plus a fixed £0.30 to £0.80 on the item price. It never comes out of the seller's payout, and the buyer cannot turn it off.
How much does Vinted take?
From the seller, nothing. Vinted takes no listing fee, no commission and no final value fee from the seller, so you keep the full sale price and any postage the buyer paid. The only fee on the sale is the buyer's Buyer Protection fee, about 3% to 8% plus £0.30 to £0.80, which the buyer pays.
Does the seller pay any Vinted fee?
No. Sellers pay £0 on Vinted: no listing fee, no commission, no final value fee, no per-order fee and no payment-processing fee. There is no store tier or subscription either, because there is no seller fee to discount. Every seller line in this calculator reads £0.00.
Why does Vinted show a 3% to 8% range?
Because Vinted publishes the Buyer Protection fee as a band and doesn't disclose the exact percentage for each price point. So no calculator can match every checkout to the penny. This tool uses about 5% plus £0.70 as a central estimate inside that range and shows the full band, rather than a single false-precise number.
Is the Buyer Protection fee charged on postage?
No. The Buyer Protection fee is charged on the item price only, not on the postage and not on any tax. Postage is handled separately through Vinted's prepaid label, paid by the buyer. So the fee tracks the price of the item, not the cost of sending it.
How much will I actually make on Vinted?
Your sale price plus any postage the buyer paid you, minus what the item cost you and what postage cost you to send. Vinted takes nothing from the seller, so there is no platform fee to subtract. Enter your cost and postage above and the calculator returns your net profit, margin and breakeven.
Can I avoid the Vinted fee?
As a seller there is no fee to avoid, since selling on Vinted is free. The only fee on a sale is the buyer's Buyer Protection fee, and that is non-optional for buyers, so it cannot be removed. The honest move is to focus on your sourcing cost and your pricing, not on dodging a fee.
What is the Vinted item verification fee?
It is a buyer-elective, per-item charge for having Vinted check an item before it reaches the buyer: about £10 per item for luxury Item Verification and about £5 per item for Electronics Verification. It is the buyer's choice, separate from the Buyer Protection fee, and off by default in this calculator.
Is the Vinted fee different in the UK, the EU and the US?
The shape is the same everywhere, a fixed fee plus a percentage of the item price, but the currency and the thresholds differ. The UK uses pounds and a published 3% to 8% range, stepping down above £500. The EU uses euros and steps the percentage down to about 2% on orders of €500 and more. The US is quoted in dollars at about $0.70 plus 5%.
