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
"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".

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 (
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.
Vinted rule 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 earn £10k a month doing a job no one wants – I only have to work half the year & get to travel the world
A WOMAN has revealed how she rakes in £10,000 a month - despite only working six months of the year. TikTok creator Ashlea shares every step of her glamorous lifestyle online - including her day job as a dump truck driver. 3 Ashlea from Perth says she makes £10k a month as a dump truck driver Credit: Instagram 3 She works FIFO (fly-in fly-out) roles, enabling her to be flexible Credit: Tiktok 3 Ashlea boasts over 81,000 followers on TikTok Credit: Tiktok The 26-year-old truck driver from Perth, Western Australia, has recently shared snaps from trips to Bali, Finland, Saudi Arabia and Colombia. She also shared a video revealing that after six years of hard work - and driving a car she didn't like - she's finally bought her dream car. In 2023, she detailed her income in a TikTok video and has since become a vocal advocate for women in mining and FIFO (fly-in fly-out) roles. Ashlea said: "When I first started as a greenie [new truck driver], for my first three months I was paid $36.50 (£19.40) an hour. Read more on jobs "And we do 12-hour days and I work on a two and two roster, so that's 14 days on and then I get 14 days off, so I pretty much work six months of the year." Just three months into her new job, said her hourly pay jumped up to $43.50 (£23.10) an hour. She added: "So quite a nice jump. And for my first year as a greenie, that would have taken me to approximately $94-$95,000 (£49-£50,000) annually for the six months. "So, pretty cool for a new truckie." Most read in Fabulous Her new rate is about $51.50 (£27.30) an hour - and she gets a $2,000 (£1,060) bonus each month she stays with her contracting company. Ashlea said: "So that could be anywhere between $6,000 (£3,180) and $10,000 (£5,300). I quit my £43K job in the UK to be a grape-picker in Italy and have ZERO regrets - I don't get paid but I'm so happy "Annually, my $51.50 would be approximately $112,000 (£59,420). With my bonuses, that could be another $10,000, so $122,000 (£64,730) for my first year. "And then when I'm employed directly with the company itself, every full year you're employed through the mine site direct, they pay you a bonus also which I think is approximately $3,000 (£1,590) each year. "And then if the company itself does well I think they actually pay you a bit of a profit share just as a thanks, which I love." The TikToker explained in the comments section of her video that her employer covers the cost of everything - including accommodation, food and flights. She added that she only works 22 weeks a year, which is less than half the year once her four weeks of annual leave are factored in. Ashlea isn't the only woman who's turned her life around. In June 2021, Kelly Moore, a 44-year-old mum from Maidstone, walked away from a career in care and Once stuck in her overdraft and counting every penny, the mum-of-one has since left the nine-to-five grind behind - and now runs one of Maidstone's fastest-growing eco-cleaning businesses.

A MUM who used to work for Citizens Advice Bureau has opened up about a number of ways struggling Brits can save some cash. Amy uploaded a video explaining some easy ways you can save money on bills - and it doesn't take too much effort to sort. Advertisement 2 According to Amy, there is an easy way to pay less on your internet Credit: Getty In 1. WATER The first thing you can do is get in contact with your water company to lower your bills. She explained: 'You can fill out a form — a means test form — and they can lower your water rate for you, and as long as you're on a water meter.' 2. INTERNET According to Amy, there is a way to pay less on your internet too. Advertisement More on money-saving She advised: 'If you have internet in your house, you can contact your internet provider and ask them to put you on a low income plan.' The mum advised that this is typically £14.99 and claims they 'have to do it whether you're in contract or not.' She added they might ask you to do a means form, but said if you are on Universal Credit then you 'will be able to get it.' She said: 'I've had the same plan for 4 years, and it's absolutely fine.'

I'm a mum-of-2 on UC & fed up with people calling me a scrounger - yes I've got a £1.5k pram, I can have nice things too Amy said you can get a discretionary fund, which will fill the gap between what Universal Credit will pay and what your actual rent is paid. She added: 'So all of your rent will be paid. You just have to fill in some forms, send it off, and they'll be able to tell you whether you qualify for that.' Advertisement 4. GAS AND ELECTRIC You can also contact your gas and electric company to get a discounted rate, according to Amy. All you need to do is tell them you are on low income, and you may qualify for a reduction, but you also may qualify for a 'heat-in bursary.' She added: 'So that's like before winter and after winter, they put credit on your account — I think it's something like £300 — and that goes on credit on your account, so it lowers the amount you're paying altogether.' 2 Amy, who used to work for Citizens Advice Bureau, opened up about four ways you can save money on bills Credit: TikTok/@amyyourbipolarbestie Advertisement In the caption of her video, she wrote: 'I am speaking on my own experience and what I have done to save money in present and past.
