How Much Does Vinted Take? (2026 Answer)
Vinted takes $0 from US sellers — no commission, no processing fees, no listing fees. Buyers pay the fees instead. See exactly what you keep at every price point in 2026.
The quick answer
Vinted takes $0 from US sellers. No commission, no payment processing fee, no listing fees. Sell a jacket for $50 and you keep the full $50.00. The costs move to the buyer instead: at checkout, your buyer pays a protection fee of roughly 5% + $0.70 on top of your price, plus shipping.
That makes Vinted the only major US resale platform where the answer to "how much does it take" is genuinely zero — Depop moved in the same direction in July 2024 but still charges sellers a payment processing fee. On Vinted, the only money that can ever leave your pocket is optional promotion (more on that below).

What Vinted takes at each price point
The seller side of this table is the least dramatic on the site — but the buyer column is worth a close look, because it's what your buyer actually compares against other apps:
| Sale Price | Vinted Takes | You Keep | Buyer Pays* |
|---|---|---|---|
| $10 | $0.00 | $10.00 | $11.20 |
| $20 | $0.00 | $20.00 | $21.70 |
| $50 | $0.00 | $50.00 | $53.20 |
| $100 | $0.00 | $100.00 | $105.70 |
*Buyer protection fee (5% + $0.70) added at checkout, before shipping.
You always keep exactly what you listed for. But notice your $50 listing costs the buyer $53.20 plus shipping — on Mercari or Poshmark part of those costs would be hidden inside your (higher) asking price instead. Price with the buyer's all-in total in mind and the zero-fee advantage stays real.
Nobody charges 0% — Vinted just charges the buyer
Vinted's model flips the usual marketplace math. Instead of taking a slice of your sale, it adds its fees on the buyer's side of the checkout:
- Buyer protection fee: 5% of the item price + $0.70 on every purchase, paid by the buyer on top of your price. From October 8, 2026 Vinted calls it the "Vinted fee" — same amount.
- Shipping: also paid by the buyer, using a prepaid label Vinted generates (USPS, FedEx, SpeedX or Better Trucks). You never buy postage, and nothing is deducted from your payout — you just print the label and ship within 5 business days.
This buyer-pays model is how Vinted became one of Europe's largest secondhand marketplaces, and it arrived in the US intact when Vinted officially launched here in January 2026. Almost every US sale is domestic — the only cross-border route is to UK buyers, and only for sellers in some states — and the US buyer pool is still smaller than Poshmark's or Mercari's.
The only Vinted fees are optional
In the US there's exactly one way Vinted can take money from a seller, and it's an opt-in visibility boost:
| Optional Feature | Cost | What It Does |
|---|---|---|
| Item Bump | Depends on the item's price and bump length (3 or 7 days); shown before you pay | Pushes one listing up in search and feeds |
Closet Spotlight (now called Showcase), which Vinted sells in Europe, isn't available to US members. Everything else — listing, selling, payment processing, shipping labels — costs $0. Skip Bumps and your effective fee rate stays at exactly zero forever.
Bumps are the zero-fee model's quiet leak. Unlike a commission, you pay for a Bump whether or not the item sells — and on a cheap item even a couple of dollars is a double-digit share of the sale. Use Bumps sparingly, on items that have been sitting, and the 0% stays honest.
How Vinted's take compares
On a $50 sale, here's what each platform takes and what you keep:
- Vinted: takes $0 — you keep $50.00
- Depop: takes $2.10 — you keep $47.90
- Mercari: takes $5.00 (10%) — you keep $45.00
- eBay: takes $7.20 — you keep $42.80 (most categories, no store)
- Poshmark: takes $10.00 (20%) — you keep $40.00
No platform pays out more per item. The trade-off is speed: Vinted's young US buyer base means items can sit longer than they would on Poshmark or Mercari, so many sellers treat Vinted as a free extra channel while cross-listing elsewhere.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Vinted take from a $100 sale?
Nothing. You keep the full $100.00. Your buyer pays a $5.70 buyer protection fee (5% + $0.70) at checkout on top of your price — it never touches your payout.
Does Vinted take a cut of shipping?
No. The buyer pays shipping at checkout, and Vinted provides a prepaid label from one of its US carriers (USPS, FedEx, SpeedX or Better Trucks) — you just print it and ship within 5 business days. Nothing is deducted from your earnings.
How does Vinted make money with 0% seller fees?
From buyers and from one optional promotion. Every buyer pays a fee of 5% + $0.70 at checkout, and sellers can optionally pay for Item Bumps, priced by the item's price and bump length (3 or 7 days). Closet Spotlight isn't offered in the US. Unless you buy Bumps, Vinted never takes anything from you.
Is there a catch to Vinted taking 0%?
The fees are genuinely zero — the catch is reach. Vinted officially launched in the US in January 2026, so its American buyer base is still much smaller than Poshmark's or Mercari's, and items can take longer to sell. See how Vinted compares to Poshmark.
