“The trick is simple, but it works,” she told her 53k followers on her @lyndsay.and.the.girls Instagram page.
“Don’t put things in the cupboard to be forgotten, leave the bag out where you can see it and work through it,” she said.
Lyndsay shared a photo of a clear plastic bag full to the brim of and various items.
She said that little and often is fine when it comes to sorting through her stock.
“It’s so satisfying when you see that bag of stuff is gone, especially if you’ve been falling over it for weeks.
“And the is in your account instead,” she added.
Lyndsay also said a great way to get on top of Vinted items is to factor dropping parcels off as part of your daily routine.
“I take mine on the . Only select postage options on your normal route and don’t go out of your way to post items,” she said.
“It sounds so simple but just having things to hand so you can upload a few bits at a time will make a huge difference, trust me!”
She told her followers that she’d made £105 on Vinted already in January, and an extra £15 on Facebook Marketplace.
Which means if she sells the same every month, that’s an extra £1,440 every year, and she’s decluttering her house at the same time.
“I needed to see this! I’ve got three bin bags full,” one of her followers wrote in the comment section.
“I’ve sold £114 worth since the end of December, mostly the boys bits so I put money aside towards uniforms, although I don’t know how long that will last,” another addded, with a laughing emoji.
A third wrote: “I always start a Vinted pile and then it grows and I end up doing mad upload and it’s time consuming. I need to try and do small and often this year!”
“Great tips, thank you,” another added.
Another shared her secrets to quick sales on the marketplace app – without lowering prices.

DECLUTTER THE HOUSE
Sharing her , she said: “I’m Siobhan and I’ve sold over 1400 items on – this is the biggest mistake that I see sellers making.”
The then added: “If your items aren’t selling, it’s probably your titles – not your prices.”
Setting the record straight on , the acknowledged: “Buyers don’t scroll, they search, and this is the exact order that the buyers search in – they go for a brand, size, the price, and the condition.”
As a result, she shared what you must do instead – and it’s so straightforward.
She stressed: “So if your title says ‘cute top,’ nobody sees it, but ‘ white linen top size 10’ actually shows up in the search bar.”
After having success with the simple solution, the beamed: “Once I changed my titles to match how the buyers search, my items started selling way faster without lowering the prices.”

QUICK facts on tax from the team at Vinted…
- The only time that an item might be taxable is if it sells for more than £6,000 and there is profit (sells for more than you paid for it). Even then, you can use your capital gains tax-free allowance of £3,000 to offset it.
- Generally, only business sellers trading for profit (buying goods with the purpose of selling for more than they paid for them) might need to pay tax. Business sellers who trade for profit can use a tax-free allowance of £1,000, which has been in place since 2017.
