When Vinted wins
Vinted is built for second-hand fashion and everyday items. It takes nothing from sellers, and the buyer pays for postage, so the price you list at is the price you receive. For a €20 top, that’s about €3.44 more than you’d keep on eBay.ie.
When eBay wins
eBay’s buyers search by exact model, size and brand, which suits electronics, collectables, car parts and anything with a model number. Auctions help when you don’t know what something is worth, and eBay reaches buyers across Ireland and Europe. If eBay’s audience gets you a higher price, that can more than cover its fees.
Watch the buyer’s total
On eBay.ie the buyer pays your price plus postage and nothing more. On Vinted they pay the Vinted fee on top. So on a €30 item the eBay buyer pays €37.00 and the Vinted buyer €39.20. That can help an eBay listing feel cheaper, even though you keep less.
Can you list on both?
Yes. Lots of sellers list the same item on both and remove the other listing as soon as it sells. The risk is selling it twice, so be quick to delist.
