Vinted Buyer Fee vs Seller Fee: Who Pays What in the US
Quick answer: in the US the buyer pays the Vinted fee and the seller pays no selling fee. A seller keeps 100% of the item sale price at a $0 commission. The buyer’s Vinted fee (formerly Buyer Protection) is usually 5% + $0.70, varies, and is paid at Buy now. Shipping is typically buyer-paid. See the Vinted fee estimator for the seller side.

Scope: who pays which fee. The fee was renamed from Buyer Protection; that history is on the Vinted Buyer Protection fee page. Tactics are on how to reduce Vinted fees. Feebrief is not affiliated with Vinted; see the disclosure and how we verify fees.
Who covers each line
| Side | What they cover | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Seller | $0 selling fee; keeps 100% of the item price | Vinted’s help states sellers are not charged the buyer fee |
| Buyer | Vinted fee, usually 5% + $0.70 (varies) | Added at Buy now; mandatory; formerly called Buyer Protection |
| Shipping | Typically buyer-paid | Label prices not covered here |
One-line rename note
The buyer fee was formerly labelled Buyer Protection; see the fee-line page for that history.
Worked example: a $35 item
| Line | Amount |
|---|---|
| Seller receives (item price, $0 selling fee) | $35.00 |
| Buyer Vinted fee: 5% × $35 + $0.70 (usually) | $2.45 [verify] |
| Buyer total before shipping | $37.45 [verify] |
The buyer fee varies, so treat $2.45 as the usual case, not a guarantee. The seller line does not change with it.
Paid boosts sit outside both columns
If a seller pays to promote a listing, that spend is optional and separate from the buyer fee and from any selling fee. Vinted’s price for it is Not publicly available as one figure in this data, so Feebrief shows no amount.
