I'm a Vinted expert and I've worked out exactly when to sell clothes to make the most money
A Vinted seller has shared her number one tip for quickly and efficiently selling your pre-loved clothes.
UK-based mother and Vinted enthusiast Rachael, who goes by @RachShops on TikTok, sells second-hand clothing on the online marketplace.
If her daughter's clothes no longer fit her, for example, she takes to the app and makes a profit from them, instead of leaving good quality clothes hanging in the wardrobe.
But she says the key to selling fast on Vinted is timing - specifically which part of the month you list your items.
In fact, Rachel explains, listing items towards the end of the month when most people are getting paid could mean they get snapped up more quickly - as it's 'prime selling time'.
In a TikTok video posted towards the end of the month, Rachael said: 'This is my most popular Vinted selling tip - the plan is part of a strategy.'
Holding up a tub of spring and summer clothes, Rachael said she planned to list them all on Vinted that evening.
'The bigger picture of me doing this tonight is because it's the 27th, it's near the end of the month and most people are getting paid.
'Believe me, this is prime selling time, so I always make sure I list around these days at the end of each month.'
Rachael said that, as most people get paid around that time, they have the cash to spend.
'And they will be spending it on Vinted as well,' she said.
The avid seller also offered some other timing tricks that she swears by for best results on the app.
Rachael advised to make sure that clothes are being sold seasonally in order to maximise sales, for example when listing items during the spring and summer.
'Always think about that when you're listing stuff,' Rachael continued.
'Just make sure it's relative to the time of year and what people are actually looking to buy.'
Rachael said that having suitable mailing bags already on hand saves both time and money, and prevents you from rushing at the last minute.
'The thing I would highly recommend you do if you are a Vinted seller is have mailing bags ready before you list anything so you're organised and prepared.
Rachael says it all comes down to timing - and listing your items at the end of the month lines up with most people's paydays
'You should have mailing bags to start with - it saves the stress, first of all, of knowing what to package it up in.
'Second of all, you can post it really quickly, helping towards your positive feedback and good reviews.'
And Rachael urged sellers to post their items quickly, for the simple reason that you'll 'get your money' faster as a result.
Bu the successful seller is not the first to share her useful hacks for making the most of the app.
Another secondhand online clothes seller who has made thousands of pounds on Vinted previously revealed her top tips for sales success.
Maisie, who is from Yorkshire, searches cat boot sales, charity shops and online pre-loved websites for cheaply-priced garments with a high resale value.
Although it started off as a side hustle, Maisie made reselling her full time career last year after earning £18,000 from flogging clothes.
Now, she has helped others by telling them how they too can make a wage from the app - and according to her, it's very simple.
Maisie said: 'I absolutely love buying on Vinted to resell on Vinted. It's so easy and it just goes to show the difference that a good quality picture with good lighting and a good background can honestly make.'
She says that you should always list similar clothes sizes at the same time on Vinted, as people may browse your page and find other items that they like, resulting in more sales.
'They're more likely to get their money's worth by buying a bundle from you so it will boost your sales and your profit at the same time,' Maisie added.
'You're only having to ship out one parcel and the buyer is only having to pay one lot of postage and fees.'
