EBay v Vinted

RedImp_2

Have traditionally been a long time seller on EBay selling all sorts but majority other halves vast clothing resources (😬).

Haven’t done so much lately as finding Vinted more successful but just as one personal example, did decide to list a pair of trainers on EBay and “paid” to promote them. 2 and a bit weeks and no watchers, no offers, nothing.

Put them on Vinted last night, 12 favourites and 3 offers (one equal to my opening price on EBay) within 3 hours.

I moved a lot of my private items across to Vinted, a real mix of things as I don’t sell clothes , just everything else I even double list less popular items , but keep a very strict eye on sales. Vinted routinely outsells eBay by a high margin although I find some things achieve better prices on eBay and some achieve better prices on Vinted, so I often choose the most suitable one when I list something.

I have also considered upgrading to a pro Vinted account and moving some of my business items across, but reading the Vinted pro forums the constant banning would get me down , and no one has explained satisfactorily yet why I can use Vinted pro as a business but cannot sell commercially.

I think it's just the status quo now that vinted is (mainly) for clothes, and ebay is for everything else.

I have certainly bought quite a few clothing items on there and can often find what I want by brand and size reasonably easily. However I can make sales fairly easily without selling clothes , if I keep listing 3 to 5 items or so a day and send offers I usually manage 3 or 4 sales a day. It’s tailed off a fair bit at the moment , I suspect the summer holidays and hot weather mean people are out more and not browsing, but still selling something most days.
