More than 16million people in the UK are currently signed up to the site.
Most people sell clothes on Vinted, but you can also flog things like toys, cosmetics, beauty gadgets, homeware, kitchenware, pet items, electronics, sports equipment and books.
Generally, you need to add a few photos of the item and a description, as well as choose a category and set your price.
But Cherelle Fulton, from Edinburgh, has seen huge success on the app with just one picture per listing, and very little detail about her items.
"Mystery bundles is the way forward", the savvy seller insisted.
Cherelle packages up five to 12 items per bag that is then listed for £5.
Buyers take a gamble with the bundles as they are only told the age range for kids clothes, or the UK women's size, and can't see the items through the bag in the picture.
But the Scots mum always includes a promise in her description that an extra item will be thrown in for free if one piece has "any slight marks".
She's already cashed in £200 in total from her bundles, with £113.20 earned in less than 24 hours.
And she has more than 3,000 glowing five-star reviews on her Vinted page (@cherellefulton1).
I've made almost £4.5k on Vinted & here's the 18 unexpected brands that will make you a fortune, including Jane Norman
Cherelle took to TikTok to give more details on her mystery bundle hack.
She said: "I've been getting this question a lot about how many items I'm putting in each bag.
"So it's like a mix really. I've obviously sold a lot of bags. Some bags have five, some bags six, some bags seven.
"And then there's been bags that are like 10 plus [items], like 12. And then I had a 0-3 months newborn girls bundle. I had like 30 items in that one. So it really just depends on the brands.
"So if it's better brands like Zara, River Island, Next then I'll maybe put a bit less in. But if it's brands like Shein, Primark, so on then maybe like five or six items.
"Buti n all the bundles, there's still like way more worth than what I'm selling them for.
"I'm currently doing more just now so I'm hoping to upload loads more."
Her Vinted video quickly racked up more than 147,000 views on TikTok (@cfultonx) with struggling sellers desperate to try her trick.
One said: "I'll definitely be giving this a go! I've had loads of stuff on mine for ages."
"Why on earth haven't I thought of doing this", cried a second.
Someone else wrote: "This sounds like a good idea, struggling to shift some bits might give this a go."
A fourth echoed: "Such a good idea."
Meanwhile, a fifth added: "Brilliant idea, gonna give it a go."
Others who have given the hack a go already also chimed in, as one person said: "Bundles definitely sell better I've found."
"I sell them on eBay and they fly out", another person agreed.

Pat McIlvogue, Unite industrial officer added: 'The pay deal overwhelmingly backed by our members working for Glasgow airport's new owners represents huge progress from where pay negotiations began.

Vinted makes algorithm change to shopping feeds leaving customers fuming
VINTED users claim they're struggling to make sales after the marketplace made an apparent algorithm change to its app. Social media forums have been flooded with comments from Vinted sellers who say their listings are suddenly getting no views and their sales have dropped dramatically. One seller complained they hadn't sold anything in weeks. "I've sold nothing since 10th of May! Literally nothing!!!! The price is ok and affordable," they said. Another wrote: "I've gone from 500 views and really fast sales within a couple of hours listing to 5 views and no sales. I've reduced my prices significantly and still no takers. It's a junk yard." Someone else said they had gone from selling £200 worth of items in two days to selling only one item in a week. Vinted was approached by The Sun but did not confirm whether any particular changes had been made. It has said it will sometimes test and trial changes or new features and will often ask users for feedback on them. However Vinted users have suggested the algorithm may have changed - and they've also spotted changes to the app's layout. Vinted is one of the most popular marketplace platforms in the UK, where you can buy and sell unwanted clothes. More than 16million people in the UK are currently signed up to the site. The app has a main newsfeed on its homepage where users are shown listings from sellers that they might be interested in. I've made £200 on Vinted in 24 hours - the 9 items that are flipping FAST & the retro product to always pick up Buyers can either browse items here or they can search for specific things they want. Users recently noticed a change to the main newsfeed. The home screen had previously shown buyers different sections including popular items, items they had favourited and items from different brands they had shown interest in. Now it's been replaced by a large Recommended for You section. Users can still scroll down to find their Favourites but the other sections have disappeared. The Favourites section is also still visible on your user profile. It's not clear whether the change to the newsfeed will have had any impact on sales for sellers. But they say they're struggling to make sales because their items aren't getting enough views any more. Some are blaming a possible algorithm change as well as the new layout. One person complained: "Things that would get at least 20 views within a day are getting zero or stagnating at low views. Cant tell you how many times I've retaken photos/reuploaded and still NO CHANGE!" Another said: "Had the same experience, has some things up for a few days that have 0 views." While a third wrote: "Yes happening to me too, getting hardly any views and no favourites on items that normally gather likes quick. My items are not getting viewed… currently prioritising EBay …" Other Vinted changes Meanwhile, buyers claim the items they're being recommended by Vinted's algorithm are no longer items they would be interested in. Some said their feeds were "weird" and showing them the same items repeatedly. One person said: "I'm a buyer not a seller but recently the vinted algorithm went funky and has been showing me loads of stuff I've never searched for and am not interested in." Another said their recommendations were "being flooded with s***** ornaments and homewares", adding that they hadn't bought or sold anything in weeks. Vinted's algorithm looks at users' account preferences, history and interactions with listings to decide what items to recommend. According to its website, it ranks where to show items on your newsfeed using factors including: How recently an item was uploaded The number of clicks and favourites it's had already Where the seller is based Price The item's condition. How to boost your Vinted sales If you've noticed a dip in your sales, you should try these tricks from top sellers. Long-time Vinted seller Melanie Monchar (@melaniemonch on Vinted), has more than 400 five-star reviews and has been selling for four years. The mum-of-three told The Sun her checklist for making more sales: Photos "stop the scroll" when buyers are looking so it's important they are clear, taken in natural lighting and show off the item. Iron any creases and make sure they look clean. Use a nice background. Find the best title. Use keywords that buyers are searching for. Price it right. Look what items sell for on Vinted and elsewhere. You can do this by looking on eBay using the 'sold items' function. Use the 'show only' filter on the left-hand side of the screen and then select 'sold items'. Timing is everything. Think about the time of year you're selling - make sure your listings are seasonal. Melanie recently sold give summer dresses within an hour of them going live as hot weather hit the UK. Use the description. Make sure you have a detailed description of each item, and include any flaws for transparency. Melanie likes to include measurements and fabric type, and she'll also use relevant hashtags in all her listings. Another top seller, Chloe Chandler, has cashed in more than £4,000 through Vinted. She says another common mistake people make is leaving items active for too long. "After a month, say even three weeks, remove the item and re-upload it, especially during payday weekend," she says. "I work at Vinted - my five ways to shift your items fast" WANT an insider's tips to selling your items fast? Natacha Blanchard from Vinted has exclusively dished her secrets to selling success. Time it right. If you upload just before the weekend it will maximise your chances of getting a sale because the weekend is the most popular time for people to browse Vinted. Bank Holidays are another great time to list items. Sell complementary items at the same time. If you're selling a few items that work well together as an outfit, mention them in your description and point people towards your other items. Mention trends. If your item fits into a certain fashion trend or style you should mention in the description. For example, "Y2K", "boyfriend jeans" or "quiet luxury". Make your photos look their best. Your first photo should clearly show the entire item from the front. Photos are best taken against a plain, white or neutral background. With lighter-coloured items, use a darker background to create contrast. Capture multiple angles and take close-ups of details, including of any flaws. The more photos you take, the better. Make sure the price is right. A good rule of thumb is that for items "new with tags" or "new without tags", a good suggested price is 60-80% of the retail price. For "very good" condition, try 40-60% of the retail price. For "good" or "satisfactory", go for 20-40%.

'I made £300,000 from side hustles in under three years - what worked'
A business owner has shared how she earned six figures from her side hustles in the space of a few years Side hustles are more popular than ever on TikTok, where countless videos are shared daily on the topic. From success stories to lessons learned, there's a wealth of posts for entrepreneurial social media users. One business owner who regularly posts about her career claims she's earned six figures from her side hustles in just a few years. Posting as @ startabusinesswithme, Helena, a blogger who often posts business and lifestyle content, told followers: "I've made £300,000 from side hustles in the last two and a half years." As she explained in her video, she trialled several money-making ideas during that time, but she didn't stick with all of them. Helena said: "I've made £300,000 from side hustles in the last two and a half years, and around half of that I made whilst I was on maternity leave." The business owner explained she didn't want to invest money in her side hustles at first. "I sold things I already had in my house on eBay and a little bit on Vinted, and that financed my initial ability to invest in some other small projects," she explained. Helena continued: "I tried out print on demand. I lost a lot of money doing that as a project, and I actually never put it out into the open because the samples that I got delivered just weren't good quality. I was trying to sell kids' artwork and things for children and children's bedrooms and doing print on demand and personalisation, and it just wasn't good." The blogger was also interested in "faceless content" as another possible income stream. "I tried out faceless content and faceless YouTube. If I'm honest that was an absolute uphill battle and struggle: it didn't make any money at all," she shared. "I think if you're going to be in the kind of faceless space, you need to be doing something really unique with a really clearly defined niche." "I was actually in the travel space, and I grew a pretty decent-sized account, and I did some initial monetisation. If I'm honest, I just couldn't keep up with it because I had a newborn at the time and I found it too overwhelming," she added. Moving onto her more successful projects, Helena said: "My most successful side hustles have been selling digital products. I sold my own version of financial models and spreadsheets. For a very long time, they were my most successful alongside my Notion Planner, which I still sell to this day. I also had an AI and automation starter kit, and I sold those via Stand Store, which is a social selling platform. "A lot of my traffic for those came from TikTok so I have to say that was one of the best things that I did was grow a platform and an audience and continue to deliver value where I managed to acquire customers, but I have to say a lot of the sales for my AI and automation content in particular used to and still to this day comes from SEO, actually comes from Google search." She added: "I've also made money from doing UGC content, so where you make content for other brands to post on their social channels, and I have done a very small handful of paid ads on my platform and to my community via my email as well." Summing up her video, Helena said she credits the diversity of her projects for her success. She said: "I honestly think one of the keys to my success has been having diversity of income streams from day one and having multiple ways of making money because if one area was slightly quieter in one month, then another area would pick that up."
