Vinted Fees by Country: What Sellers and Buyers Pay

Do sellers pay anything on Vinted?

Vinted's UK platform page says: "Selling on Vinted is free… Optional paid services are available… but are not mandatory." The UK, Polish, French and German price lists, checked 13 Sept 2026, list only two seller-side charges, Bump and Showcase: no commission, no listing fee.

Vinted's UK Pro page says the same for Pro sellers ("Selling doesn't cost you a cent!"), though Pro isn't open in Poland or Germany.

Rule: if you sell privately, nothing is deducted from your price; you keep it minus your own costs and any promotion you buy.

Vinted fees by country: the buyer-paid fee

Every price list quotes prices with VAT and a "usual" rate. The fee varies with "item characteristics, order value, order type (a single item versus a bundle)", and the exact amount appears at checkout. The buyer protection fee glossary entry compares this model with other platforms.

Outside the UK only the fixed part differs, and every list is dated September 2025. The US is left out because its pages conflict: the 2024 price list says "5% of the item price… not including the shipping costs", the help page "usually 5% + $0.70".

Poland: 5% + 2.90 zł explained

The Polish price list, updated 15.09.2025, says "zwykle jest to 5% + 2,90 zł": usually 5% plus 2.90 zł. That line doesn't mention shipping, so the examples apply 5% to the item price only.

UK: why only a range is published

The UK price list, updated 08-09-2025, says the fee is "usually 3% to 8% + £0.3 to £0.8". It doesn't say which items land where, so you get a band, not a figure.

The band widens with price, so compare UK listings on item price, not on an estimated total.

Optional seller costs: Bump and Showcase

Third-party blog prices can't be confirmed officially, so none appear here. Break-even maths is in is a Vinted bump worth it.

Optional buyer services: Item and Electronics Verification

In all four markets it "consists of a verification service fee and shipping costs from the Seller to the hub".

Example: a Polish buyer adding Item Verification to a 150 zł bag usually pays 10.40 zł buyer fee plus 45 zł: 55.40 zł on top, about 37% of the price. How verification works and who pays for it is covered in Vinted item verification.

Currency conversion

Vinted's UK Terms (version 30-04-2026) say the payment processor charges a currency conversion fee of "either 1.2% or 3% of the Item price" where the service is offered. They don't say which countries get which rate. Example: on a €40 item that is €0.48 or €1.20. Conversion, payout and shipping for sales between countries are covered in selling across Vinted countries.

October 2026: Buyer Protection fee renamed "Vinted fee"

Vinted's Terms pages announce an update from 5 October 2026 in Germany and France and 8 October 2026 in the UK and Poland. Value Added Resource's press reports (5 and 7 Sept 2026) describe changes not yet checkable against live Terms:

• The Buyer Protection fee is renamed "Vinted fee" and described as contributing to "the cost of operating the site".
• In the EU, Vinted Balance moves from Mangopay to Vinted Pay. Users who do not accept the new Terms can no longer use Vinted.

A rename alone is not a price change. After your country's date:

• Compare your country's /pricelist formula and date with the table above
• If the rate changed, redo the examples for your usual prices
• Look for the "Vinted fee" line at checkout
• EU: check your balance after the reported move to Vinted Pay
• Expect to accept the new Terms: press reports you can't keep using Vinted otherwise

How the buyer fee affects your pricing

The fee changes the buyer's total, not what you receive.

• Vinted against Vinted: compare item prices. Outside the UK, one country's listings share the usual formula, so a lower price means a lower total.
• Vinted against OLX or Allegro Lokalnie: the Vinted, OLX and Allegro Lokalnie fee comparison separates fees on top of your price from commission taken out of it, in zł.
• Round totals: to keep the buyer's total under a round figure, work backwards.

For comps and condition, see how to price items on Vinted. The marketplace fee calculator sets Vinted's seller fee to 0%, so it shows what you receive; add the buyer fee yourself for the total.
