How the Vinted fee works
Vinted adds its fee at checkout, on top of your price. Vinted’s help page says it’s usually 5% of the price plus €0.70, and that the exact amount depends on the item, the order value and whether it’s a single item or a bundle. Vinted’s new terms for Ireland, from 5 October 2026, call it the Vinted fee rather than the Buyer Protection fee; the amount didn’t change. Nothing comes out of your money, but buyers see the total, so it’s worth keeping in mind when you price.
Who pays postage
The buyer. When they pay, they choose a delivery option and buy a prepaid label for you. Vinted’s shipping page lists An Post, DPD, Drop2Shop and DHL Express in Ireland, though buyers only see the options that suit your parcel and your settings. Vinted sends you the label or a code in your inbox. You must use that label, or the order is cancelled. See the postage guide for what An Post charges if you post things yourself.
Sending with An Post
With An Post, you can print the label at home, or show the digital label at the counter of a Post Office. At a PostPoint, the label needs to be printed and stuck on first (Vinted: An Post shipping). Keep your proof of postage until the buyer confirms the order. Send it as soon as you can: buyers expect it within a few days, and Vinted cancels orders that aren’t sent in time.
When you get paid
The money goes into your Vinted balance once the buyer confirms everything’s OK, and you can then move it to your bank account. From October 2026, Vinted is moving Irish balances to its own payment service, Vinted Pay, so you may be asked to accept new terms in the app.
Costs the calculator leaves out
Vinted sells optional Bumps to make a listing more visible. The price depends on the item and how long you bump it for. It’s your choice, so it isn’t included here.
Selling as a business
Selling your own unwanted clothes is generally not taxed. If you buy things to resell for profit, Revenue may see it as trading. See tax on selling online in Ireland.
