Posting on social media, the fashion fan who has cashed in £4,415.34 through the marketplace app, advised people to check their wardrobes for old Jane Norman and Morgan clothes, as she claimed these brands are just two of many that are 'popular on Vinted at the moment'.

'They don't know the value of the clothing. What I mean by this is people who have very clearly just started out on Vinted, they've got a couple of reviews and they're just clearing out their old clothing - they don't do their research about the products that they're selling and it means that they are selling tops that are worth probably £20 plus, for £3.50.'
Not only this, but Chloe, who
Not only is Jane Norman, Etam, Together, Wet Seal, Oasis and Morgan selling well, but she also acknowledged that old items from New Look, Lipsy, Per Una, Marks & Spencer, Miss Selfridge and River Island will sell quickly too.
Additionally, she recognised that items from brands including Vintage Dressing, Playboy, Krisp, Monsoon, E-Vie and Principles are also proving popular.

For those looking to get rid of their old clothes, Chloe advised: 'If you manually search the item that you are selling and try and find something similar, you'll be able to see what sort of price it goes for on Vinted.

Instead, she recommended: 'Save it as a draft and then manually search it because the suggested prices aren't accurate.

Do you need to pay tax on items sold on Vinted?
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.

'Specifically old New Look, Jane Norman, that sort of stuff is becoming really popular on Vinted now.
'So if you are clearing out your old wardrobe, make sure you are looking and just double checking what your items are worth, because I'm seeing not many people do research and it means you're losing out on money.'
There are some brands that were popular back then that are so popular on Vinted now and I see people uploading clothing items from this sort of era and they aren't priced high enough

Why I hate Vinted, a real-life view
Fabulous Associate Editor Sarah Barns opens up on why she hates Vinted:
It's the king of second-hand fashion but I hate Vinted.
There I said it. Yes, it stops items going into landfill. Yes, it helps create additional side-hustle income for many.
And yes, you can get things at bargain prices. But it is just not my (shopping) bag.
From personal experience, I've bought 'cheap' bundles of children's clothes only for them to arrive dirty and misshapen.
Plus, with postage and buyer protection they didn't feel like such a great deal. I much prefer going to my local charity shop or supermarket for kids' stuff.
I've also bought more premium high-street items - a dress from Arket and a skirt from Cos - only to find they didn't fit properly and the colours were faded.
I attempted a bout of selling stuff but gave up after my £110 Veja trainers got lost in the post and I spent two hours on the phone to Royal Mail.
A major gripe with it is that it still encourages you to spend, spend, spend. I'm not sure I needed the items I did purchase, I just didn't want to miss out.
Also, the reselling of fast-fashion items - a £5 Shein top on Vinted for £17.50 - makes me feel a bit queasy.
Clothes shopping has become a daily hobby for a lot of people when really it should be something that's done once or twice a year as a necessity.
But the 18 million Vinted app users clearly disagree with me.
To this, Chloe replied and confirmed: 'Yep! They go sooooo fast at that price!'
Meanwhile, another added: 'I have found so many of my camis from the 2000s but I've cut tags out and can't remember where they're from.'
In response, Chloe wrote back and suggested: 'Just put the brand as 'vintage'!! Then write in the description that you cut the tags out but they are

I make £4k a month on the side doing a job nobody wants – there's hardly any competition & it's cheap to get started
The side-hustler charges up to £452 for one job CASHING IN I make £4k a month on the side doing a job nobody wants – there's hardly any competition & it's cheap to get started A SIDE HUSTLE whiz has revealed how he makes an extra £4000 a month, from a job nobody wants to do. Known only as @thegravecleaner online, the money-making pro cleans people's headstones for cash, alongside his regular job. 2 This man makes £4k a month from cleaning graves Credit: TikTok/@themoneyshark 2 There's hardly any competition for the job Credit: TikTok/@themoneyshark The cleaning pro charges £135 for a basic clean, and up to £452, for a full restoration. "You're probably thinking to yourself, no one's gonna pay for that. People don't even visit graves anymore. "Well, you're wrong, because he stays booked up", said TikToker @themoneyshark, who used the grave cleaner as an example of a great way to make extra cash. The Money Shark explained that one of the best things about this side hustle is that there isn't much competition, because "let's be real, not many people wanna offer this service." He added that it also doesn't cost much to get started, as you just need around £150 to purchase all of the supplies you need to get started. However, he warned that you need to be careful with what cleaning products you use, as some can damage the headstones. Sharing advice to anyone keen to start their own grave cleaning business, the Money Shark explained that its best to first scope out out if there is any competition in your local area. He added that if you already have your own cleaning business, adding grave cleaning on is a great way to make some extra cash. To advertise his business, the grave cleaner posts to Facebook, as well as filming himself cleaning graves to TikTok, where has has racked up 34,000 followers. The Money Shark's video has gone viral, racking up 1.2 million views and thousands of comments. I earn cash by selling 'actual rubbish' on eBay - I flogged a freebie I found on the floor by a bin for £10, it's crazy TikTok users raced to the video's comments section to share their thoughts on the side hustle. One person said: "Me and the hubby do this as a side hustle. "They definitely pay for this!" A second person said: "I'm a foreman at a cemetery, trust me, a lot of Markers and Monuments need it." Do I need to pay tax on my side hustle income? MANY people feeling strapped for cash are boosting their bank balance with a side hustle. The good news is, there are plenty of simple ways to earn some additional income - but you need to know the rules. When you're employed the company you work for takes the tax from your earnings and pays HMRC so you don't have to. But anyone earning extra cash, for example from selling things online or dog walking, may have to do it themselves. Stephen Moor, head of employment at law firm Ashfords, said: "Caution should be taken if you're earning an additional income, as this is likely to be taxable. "The side hustle could be treated as taxable trading income, which can include providing services or selling products." You can make a gross income of up to £1,000 a year tax-free via the trading allowance, but over this and you'll usually need to pay tax. Stephen added: "You need to register for a self-assessment at HMRC to ensure you are paying the correct amount of tax. "The applicable tax bands and the amount of tax you need to pay will depend on your income." If you fail to file a tax return you could end up with a surprise bill from HMRC later on asking you to pay the tax you owe - plus extra fees on top. A third person said: "I think it's a noble idea. "Respect for the ones that have passed and the ones left behind." A fourth added: "I like cleaning alone so I think this would be good for me."
