Vinted fees in 2026: what sellers actually pay

A search for Vinted fees often assumes the seller loses a cut of the sale price. On a normal sale, that cut is not there. The Vinted fee is paid by the buyer at checkout, when the order goes through the Buy button.

The figures below are the ones on the linked Vinted pages, read on 13 November 2026. sellerfees.eu is not an official Vinted service and is not connected to Vinted.

In short: who pays which fee

You do not pay a selling fee to list an item or to sell it. Vinted’s help page says there are still no selling fees. Buyers pay this fee at checkout, as before.

The same page explains a rename. The fee used to be called Buyer Protection. It is now called the Vinted fee. It is not a new fee and not an extra fee. The new name does not change how it is calculated. Older help articles may still use the old name. Both names mean the same fee.

What sellers pay — and what they don’t

Uploading and selling are free of a Vinted selling fee. Once the sale is completed, you receive the full selling price in your Vinted Wallet.

You can choose to pay for extra visibility. That is optional. It is not taken off the sale automatically. On the German price list, last updated on 5 October 2026, the same two options appear for sellers and Pro sellers on the euro lists (France, the Netherlands, Spain and Italy use the same euro amounts and the same date):

• Push, or a bump. It can run for 3 or 7 calendar days. The price depends on the duration, the item price and the reach, local or international. VAT is included in the price shown at checkout. The price list does not publish one euro amount for every bump.
• Vitrine, a showcase. The fee and the duration are shown at checkout.

What you paid for the item, packaging, and postage you cover yourself are your own costs. They are not Vinted selling fees.

The international English price list on vinted.com does not match these euro pages. This article follows the euro price lists for the amounts. If you sell on the UK site, open that market’s own price list. It is worded differently, and this article does not copy it.

The Vinted fee for buyers

The Vinted fee is mandatory when someone orders with the Buy button. Help and the price list say the amount depends on three things:

• the item’s characteristics
• the order value
• the order type, a single item or a bundle

Those pages do not give a complete formula. They give a usual pattern: a percentage plus a fixed amount, usually 5% + €0.70. At checkout the Vinted fee, including VAT, is added to the final price and shown in the order summary. Whether that usual example fits a particular item is visible in the listing’s price breakdown and again at checkout. Treat 5% + €0.70 as the published example, not as a rate that applies to every order.

Two further services are optional. The buyer pays them, per item, only if they choose them:

• item verification: €10
• electronics verification: €5

The price list says each amount covers verification and the shipping from the seller to the verification hub. The buyer sees it on the item page.

A worked example

The item price is €20.00. Postage is left out. It varies by parcel and is not part of this fee example.

If the usual example applies to this item, the buyer pays 5% of €20.00, which is €1.00, plus €0.70. That is a €1.70 Vinted fee. You receive €20.00. The €1.70 is the buyer’s fee. It is not deducted from your selling price.

That holds only when the usual example fits that order. A bundle, a different item or a different order value can come out differently. The amount at checkout is the one that counts.

Your own costs go into the Vinted margin calculator: the item, packaging, postage you pay yourself, and a bump if you buy one. The calculator deliberately does not calculate the buyer’s Vinted fee. In the calculation the seller fee is fixed at €0. It subtracts only the amounts you enter. Vinted publishes the usual example and the three factors above, not a complete public formula. A fixed formula in the calculator would be wrong on some orders.

Fees are not the same as tax

A platform fee does not tell you whether you have to report a sale or pay tax. Those are separate questions. The Vinted tax guide for Europe is the overview. You can put your own sales into the DAC7 checker to see whether a report looks likely in your case.

This is general information, not tax advice. Check what applies to you with your tax authority or a tax adviser.

How to check your own numbers

Enter the item cost, packaging and an optional bump in the Vinted calculator. Check the fee the buyer sees in the Vinted app on that item. The pages behind the figures above are also listed on Sources.
