Sell-through, trending up
Reseller economics · 26 Jun · 2 min

every listing is read by two completely different audiences — most sellers write for one and lose the other

Reseller economics · 26 Jun · 2 min

the listing was slow, so the sales were slow, so I lost heart — the flywheel that looked like laziness

Reseller economics · 26 Jun · 2 min

listing doesn't fail because it's hard — it fails because *starting* is hard (the bag by the door)

Reseller economics · 25 Jun · 2 min

the silent buyer never asks — your description has to answer the question before it's asked

Reseller economics · 25 Jun · 2 min

the day listing stopped being my bottleneck, I started sourcing braver — and my shop finally grew

Reseller economics · 25 Jun · 2 min

listing doesn't tire you out because it's slow — it tires you out because it's a hundred tiny decisions (decision fatigue)

Reseller economics · 24 Jun · 2 min

the synonym gap — buyers search different words for the same thing, and your listing only carries one

Reseller economics · 24 Jun · 2 min

I stopped saving up a "list day" — now I list in stolen minutes and my count tripled

Reseller economics · 24 Jun · 2 min

you're polishing one listing to death while fifteen sit unlisted (the perfectionism tax)

Reseller economics · 23 Jun · 1 min

the price your buyer actually sees isn't your price — so stop competing on pennies

Reseller economics · 23 Jun · 2 min

the side hustle stopped eating my evenings — so I actually kept doing it (and that's why it out-earns)

Reseller economics · 23 Jun · 1 min

you don't have a sourcing problem, you have a listing backlog (the bin-bag stock you already own)

Reseller economics · 22 Jun · 2 min

when paying to promote actually pays — and when you're just donating to Vinted

Reseller economics · 22 Jun · 2 min

I started posting same-day and my reviews carried the rest of my shop

Reseller economics · 22 Jun · 2 min

people are favouriting your items and you're letting them go cold

Reseller economics · 19 Jun · 2 min

pick the wrong parcel size and the postage eats your profit

Reseller economics · 19 Jun · 2 min

I stopped guessing what to buy — I just read my own sold listings

Reseller economics · 19 Jun · 2 min

you left the colour box blank, so you dropped out of every filtered search

Reseller economics · 18 Jun · 2 min

buyers don't search for "dress," they search for "wedding guest"

Reseller economics · 18 Jun · 2 min

Reseller economics · 18 Jun · 2 min

you priced at £22 and disappeared from a thousand searches

Reseller economics · 17 Jun · 2 min

Reseller economics · 27 May · 3 min

Vinted's seller-trust score is built from five inferred signals — only two are visible to you in the app, the other three are inferred from your behaviour and silently rank your shop above or below competitors

Reseller economics · 27 May · 3 min

dispatch within 4 hours triples your 5-star ratings — and the 5-star average is one of Vinted's hidden seller-trust signals that ranks your shop above sellers with worse ratings on identical items

Reseller economics · 27 May · 3 min

the "create similar" relist trap — Vinted's one-tap relist after a sold item produces a near-duplicate listing the algorithm quietly penalises; the right move is to re-source the title vocabulary before relisting

Reseller economics · 25 May · 3 min

Vinted's homefeed is personalised per buyer based on their recent searches — your titles need to match the cohort you want to attract, not your own seller vocabulary

Reseller economics · 25 May · 3 min

private offers to recent favouriters convert 5x cold homefeed traffic — Vinted's "send offer to favourites" is the highest-converting paid lever in the whole platform

Reseller economics · 25 May · 2 min

the Offers tab is where most sales quietly die — sellers reject low offers outright when a single counter at the midpoint would close 40% of them

Reseller economics · 22 May · 2 min

Saturday 8am uploads and Sunday 8pm uploads do different jobs — the buyer behaviour patterns are different, and matching upload time to category is the lever most sellers don't know exists

Reseller economics · 22 May · 2 min

the shop bio is a conversion lever 90% of sellers leave blank — three lines (dispatch turnaround, bundle commitment, returns posture) lifts shop-visit-to-purchase by a measurable amount

Reseller economics · 22 May · 2 min

the "free postage weekend" trap — Vinted's promotional events look like a free sales boost, but the postage discount comes out of the seller's margin and most sellers opt in without doing the maths

Reseller economics · 21 May · 2 min

views without favourites means wrong audience, favourites without sales means wrong price — the two-ratio diagnostic that tells you which lever to pull before you waste another rewrite

Reseller economics · 21 May · 2 min

turning the "make an offer" button on lifted my sell-through rate by a third — most sellers disable it to avoid lowballs, but buyer-initiated negotiation is a conversion accelerator the algorithm reads

Reseller economics · 21 May · 2 min

the Wardrobe Spotlight waste — most sellers pay to bump a listing the algorithm has already deprioritised, doubling down on a dead listing instead of fixing the upstream problem

Reseller economics · 20 May · 2 min

image-#1 is for the algorithm, images 2–5 are for the buyer — different jobs, different photo rules, and most sellers waste the slot that decides visibility

Reseller economics · 20 May · 2 min

the themed-restock cluster — six items from the same category dropped back-to-back signal "shop" to the algorithm and turn the "similar items" carousel into your own internal cross-sell

Reseller economics · 20 May · 2 min

the homefeed-vs-search gap — most sellers tune everything for search keywords, but Vinted's homefeed now drives 40%+ of impressions and uses entirely different signals

Reseller economics · 19 May · 2 min

the search-bar autocomplete is the buyer's-own-words list — type your brand into Vinted, and the autocomplete shows the search order you should be writing titles in

Reseller economics · 19 May · 1 min

the 50-ratings inflection point — once your shop crosses 50 five-star ratings, fresh uploads get a visible algorithmic lift across the board

Reseller economics · 19 May · 1 min

the emoji-in-title trap — sparkle and star emojis push real keywords out of the title and Vinted's search index strips them anyway

Reseller economics · 18 May · 2 min

the follower feed — when a follower opens Vinted, your new uploads sit in their personalised feed for roughly six hours; almost no seller batches around it

Reseller economics · 18 May · 1 min

the fast-dispatch badge — qualifying for it lifts conversion 18–25% across the whole shop, not just the badged listings

Reseller economics · 18 May · 1 min

the photo-aspect-ratio gap — landscape thumbnails get cropped to a square and lose half the garment; portrait fills the feed and earns the tap

Reseller economics · 15 May · 1 min

the edit-listing penalty — Vinted quietly down-ranks listings that get repeatedly edited after publication

Reseller economics · 15 May · 1 min

the bundle-discount tier ladder — 2/3/4 items, not a flat percentage, trains the buyer to add a third

Reseller economics · 15 May · 1 min

the category-browse vs search-bar algorithm gap — same listing, two rankings, most sellers only optimise for one

Reseller economics · 14 May · 1 min

the brand-field-AND-title-slot-1 rule — brand searches only surface listings that have both

Reseller economics · 14 May · 1 min

provenance phrases — "worn once to a wedding" sells faster than "very good condition"

Reseller economics · 14 May · 1 min

the 5% discount cliff — drops under 5% don't fire the favourites notification, and £1 nudges are usually below it

Reseller economics · 13 May · 1 min

the "new with tags" filter — 14% of fashion buyers use it, most resellers never tick the box

Reseller economics · 13 May · 1 min

replying to questions inside an hour gets the listing re-surfaced in the algorithm

Reseller economics · 13 May · 1 min

the wrong-subcategory mistake — "Outerwear > Jackets" vs "Outerwear > Coats" can halve your visibility

Reseller economics · 12 May · 1 min

"free postage" as a psychological lever — £14 with free shipping out-converts £11 + £3 postage

Reseller economics · 12 May · 1 min

restocking the same category for 8 weeks straight trains the algorithm to surface your shop

Reseller economics · 12 May · 1 min

the follower-batch trap — 20 listings at once mutes every follower you've earned

Reseller economics · 11 May · 1 min

the bundle-anchor pricing trick — small accessories at £3–£5 multiply basket size

Reseller economics · 11 May · 1 min

rewriting the bottom 20% beat any bump I've ever bought

Reseller economics · 11 May · 1 min

saved searches are a hidden second feed, and your title is the only key
