🚨 Heads up, Vinted users! 🚨
Big changes are here! Vinted has reworked its rules, and sellers now face bans if they “delete and re-list the same item multiple times” or in bulk. This tactic has been used to pop unsold items back into visibility — but not anymore! 👀
TikTok’s Culture Force explained this nifty hack: sellers on Vinted and eBay relist items for better exposure. But looks like that’s come to an end.
There’s more: Vinted’s cracking down on third-party software and auto-programs. 🛑
ICYMI: Vinted did a U-turn on delivery method changes after sellers protested last year. Buyers initially got to pick delivery types, which led to a lot of confusion — especially if printers weren’t on hand for those postage labels. Vinted restored its old shipping options post-backlash. 📦
Tax talk! If you’re selling, remember you can earn up to £1,000 a year before tax kicks in — known as a trading allowance. Over that, HMRC is involved via self-assessment. But if you’re clearing out the attic, no worries on tax unless you’re making consistent profits.
Heads-up for online sellers: eBay and Vinted report sales data to HMRC over 30 items sold or €2,000 earned. But only those engaged in trading need to pay taxes.
In 2029, a new form will let you declare earnings under £3,000 easily — and without fuss. The report process is changing, but tax dues remain the same.
Stay savvy, sellers! 📲💸
