How much does Vinted take from sellers?
Put a $40 jacket on Vinted and follow the money down two separate columns. In the seller's column, the arithmetic is empty: no commission, no selling fee, no percentage withheld — $40.00 in, $40.00 kept, 100% of the item price. In the buyer's column, checkout adds a Vinted fee of usually 5% + $0.70, which on this basket works out to $2.70 ($2.00 + $0.70), so the buyer's item-plus-fee subtotal reads $42.70 before shipping and any sales tax. That two-column split is the complete answer: Vinted's deduction from the seller is $0.00, and the fee lives entirely on the buyer's side of the counter. Below, the $40 ledger is worked line by line, every seller-side charge that could exist gets checked against the pricelist (and found absent), the buyer fee is sized across a few price points, and the optional bump is separated from anything resembling a take.

Feebrief is not affiliated with Vinted, and Feebrief publishes no live Vinted calculator — nothing to run, nothing to sign up for. Every figure below was worked by hand from the published fee terms, with Vinted's own hedges ("usually", "varies") left exactly where the sources put them. Rates can change; check the linked Vinted pages before you price, offer, or buy.
The arithmetic first: what leaves a $40 sale
Set the basket deliberately narrow — one item at $40.00, US listing, with shipping and sales tax pushed aside so only two amounts remain in play: the item price and the buyer-side platform fee. Nothing else moves money.
Seller's column first. Vinted charges no selling fee in the United States: no commission on the item price, no percentage skimmed from the payout, no per-listing charge due when the item finds a buyer. The take from this sale, measured against the seller, is $0.00, and the seller's proceeds are the full $40.00.
Buyer's column. When the buyer checks out through Buy now, Vinted adds its platform fee to the total: usually 5% of the item price plus $0.70. On this basket that is 5% × $40.00 = $2.00, plus the flat $0.70, for $2.70. The buyer's item-plus-fee subtotal is therefore $42.70 — before shipping, before any sales tax, both of which sit outside this illustration. The exact calculation varies (item characteristics, order value, single item versus bundle), so read $2.70 as the usual outcome on a $40 item, not a fixed rule.
Read across both columns and the fee's shape becomes clear: $2.70 equals 6.75% of the $40 item price, or roughly 6.3% of the buyer's $42.70 subtotal — and none of it ever crosses to the seller's side of the ledger.
| Checkout line | How it's worked | On a $40 item |
|---|---|---|
| Item price (seller's money) | The listed price, untouched by any selling fee | $40.00 |
| Vinted fee (buyer's side) | usually 5% × $40.00 + $0.70 = $2.00 + $0.70 | +$2.70 |
| Buyer's item-plus-fee subtotal | $40.00 + $2.70 | $42.70 |
| Vinted's deduction from the seller | No selling fee, no commission, no withheld percentage | $0.00 |
| Seller receives | 100% of the item price | $40.00 |
A note on what this ledger is not: it is fee arithmetic, not a deposit schedule. The $40.00 is what survives the take; how many days pass before it reaches a bank account is a payout-timing question with its own page — how long Vinted payouts take.
The seller's column: no selling fee, nothing withheld
Vinted's how-it-works page puts it in one line: there are no selling fees on Vinted, and you keep 100% of what you earn. The current US pricelist agrees — its seller section lists no commission, no percentage of sale, and no charge triggered by a completed order. For anyone who has sold on platforms that stack listing fees, transaction fees, and processing fees, the emptiness of the seller's column is the whole point:
| Seller-side line | Charged in the US? | What reaches the seller |
|---|---|---|
| Commission on the item price | No — $0.00 | The full item price |
| Percentage withheld from the payout | None | 100% of the item price, no share deducted |
| Fee due when the item sells | No selling fee exists | Sale triggers no charge at all |
| Required spend to list or be seen | $0.00 — the bump is optional | Proceeds identical with or without it |
A caution on stale numbers: seller-percentage fee models sometimes quoted online belong to other regions and earlier rate cards. They do not describe the US checkout governed by the current pricelist, and importing them here would misprice every basket on this page.
The buyer's column: a checkout fee, usually 5% + $0.70
The one mandatory platform charge on a Vinted order lands on the buyer. Purchasing through Buy now adds the Vinted fee at checkout, and the buyer pays it as part of the order total. The pricelist — last updated — states the fee is usually 5% + $0.70, and that the calculation varies with the item's characteristics, the order's value, and whether the order bundles several items. The fee's earlier name was Buyer Protection; only the label is being updated, not the charge itself (Vinted help article 1653).
Scaling the usual formula across a few price points, as illustrations rather than quotes: a $20 item usually carries $1.70 ($1.00 + $0.70), a $60 item $3.70 ($3.00 + $0.70), and a $100 item $5.70 ($5.00 + $0.70). The flat $0.70 weighs heaviest on cheap items — it alone is 3.5% of a $20 basket — while the percentage piece dominates as prices climb. Bundles and order-value differences can move the real number in either direction, which is why "varies" travels with every figure in this paragraph.
For the full anatomy of this fee — its name history, what it covers, and where it appears on a receipt — see Vinted fees explained. If your question is strictly "am I charged as a seller?", the sibling page Does Vinted charge sellers? argues that single point end to end.
The bump: paid visibility, never a cut of the sale
One entry does sit under "Fees payable by Sellers" in the pricelist: the bump, and it deserves its own paragraph precisely because it is so easily mistaken for a take. A bump buys placement — a listing pushed in front of more buyers for a limited window — and its amount varies. It is optional in the fullest sense: listings sell without it, a completed sale never triggers it, and its price is never calculated as a share of the item price. A seller who bumps a $40 jacket pays for eyes on the listing, not for the transaction; a seller who never bumps still keeps 100% of every sale. Calling the bump Vinted's "real" take confuses an advertising product with a commission, and the two could not sit further apart in the ledger.
Four questions about Vinted's take
My item sold for $40. How much of that $40 reaches me?
All of it: $40.00. Vinted charges no selling fee or commission against a US seller's item price, so the full listing price follows the sale. The Vinted fee on this basket — usually 5% + $0.70, or $2.70 — is added to the buyer's checkout total and stays on the buyer's receipt. It is never subtracted from your payout for the item.
Why does my buyer's checkout total exceed my listing price?
Because Vinted adds its platform fee at checkout when a buyer purchases through Buy now, and the buyer pays it. The fee is usually 5% + $0.70, and the exact calculation varies with item characteristics, order value, and whether the order is a single item or a bundle. On a $40 listing the usual add-on is $2.70, so the buyer's item-plus-fee subtotal reads $42.70 before shipping and any sales tax. The charge's earlier name was Buyer Protection — the fee itself did not change.
Is any commission percentage withheld from a US Vinted payout?
No. The current US fee pricelist (last updated October 8, 2026) lists no selling fee, and Vinted's how-it-works page states it plainly: there are no selling fees, and sellers keep 100% of what they earn. Percentage-of-sale models quoted for other regions or older rate cards do not describe the US checkout. The only seller-side charge that exists at all is the optional bump, which is priced for visibility and never as a share of a sale.
Can I list and sell on Vinted without ever paying Vinted anything?
Yes. Listing carries no fee, a completed sale deducts nothing from the item price, and there is no required spend to be seen or to get paid. The one paid seller tool — bumping a listing for extra visibility — is opt-in, its amount varies, and skipping it changes nothing about your proceeds: a never-bumped seller and a bumped seller both keep 100% of the item price when it sells.
Where these figures come from
Each number above traces to a published Vinted page, read on : the US fee pricelist (Last updated ) for the "usually 5% + $0.70" hedge, the variance factors, and the seller-side bump entry; help article 342 for the fee's mechanics; help article 1653 for the Buyer Protection rename; and Vinted's how-it-works page for the no-selling-fees statement. Worked baskets ($40, $20, $60, $100) are Feebrief illustrations derived from the usual formula, labeled as such, never presented as quotes.
