THERE’S nothing more frustrating than spending ages posting stuff on Vinted, only for it to get zero views and no favourites.
But according to one reselling whizz, there are certain times you should list your bits – and it’s guaranteed to boost your sales.
The woman, who regularly posts on her The Pink Parcel TikTok page, shared pictures in which she detailed the times she considers the “golden windows”.
She also added that her time lists are “based on stats”.
And it’s good news if you’re an early riser, as the first time slot is 7.30 to 9am on weekdays.
The next is 1pm to 2pm, and you should then wait until 6 to 9.30pm to list again.
It’s important to spread out when you post your listings too, as she said: “List 3-4 items throughout the day so they keep showing up in the feed and don’t get buried”.
If you’re more of a weekend lister, start at 10am on a Saturday and you can go until 1pm, while the next time is 4 to 7pm.
On a Sunday, list 10am to 12 midday, and 7 to 9pm.
“Best hours to post on Vinted,” she wrote in the caption.
“I post in these golden windows,” she added.
People were quick to comment on the picture slideshow, with one writing: “Sunday 4pm has worked the best for me!”
“That’s perfect,” the TikToker replied.
“I find mostly if I list at the weekend that helps boost my sales – not by much but at least I can get some sales,” another commented.
“I think last week I sold 25 things over 4 days. It doesn’t sound like much but was happy to sell my stuff.”
“Thank you for this,” a third said.
As someone else added they were keen to try out the tip, as she’s been struggling to sell her bits on Vinted.
“I’ve tried so many tips but just not getting many views,” she wrote.
New Vinted rules to be aware of
IF you fancy clearing out your wardrobe and getting rid of your old stuff on Vinted, you’ll need to consider the new rules that recently came into play.
If people are selling personal items for less than they paid new (which is generally the case for second-hand sales), there is no impact on tax.
However, since January 1, digital platforms, including eBay , Airbnb , Etsy , Amazon and Vinted , must share seller information with HMRC as part of a crackdown.
You’re unlikely to be affected if you only sell a handful of second-hand items online each year – generally, only business sellers trading for profit might need to pay tax.
A tax-free allowance of £1,000 has been in place since 2017 for business sellers trading for profit – the only time that an individual personal item might be taxable is if it sells for more than £6,000 and there is a profit from the sale.
However, firms now have to pass on your data to HMRC if you sell 30 or more items a year or earn over £1,700.
It is part of a wider tax crackdown to help ensure that those who boost their income via side hustles pay up what they owe.
While your data won’t be shared with HMRC if you earn between £1,000 and £1,700, you’ll still need to pay tax as normal.
“I have loads of new items with tags and cheap too – can’t think of anything else to try and boost my views.”
“I read somewhere rather than bumping your items, it’s best to put your account in holiday mode,” another said.
“Then a few hours later take the holiday mode off and your items will go automatically to the top of new listings.
“Don’t know if this is true!”
To which The Pink Parcel woman replied: “I was in holiday mode but when I came back I had really little views.
“I will try again and tell you if it works.”
