In a recent video, Claire explained why it’s important to start by listing your items at a high price, as she added the hack has been really “working” for her.
“What I tend to do is I post on Vinted and I put the price slightly higher,” she said.
“I don’t send out offers, but what I do is in a few weeks when there’s lots of likes or favourites, I will lower the price.
“And what happens then is everyone that’s favourited my item will get notified.”
Claire’s tip also means that you don’t have to waste time sending individual offers out to potential sellers.
“And then most of the time I do get sales from that!” she concluded.
“One small tip today = bigger sales tomorrow,” Claire added in the caption.
“Keep listing, keep learning, keep winning!”
“I do this as well. It works for me,” one person replied in the comments.
As another insisted that Claire should be “relisting every week” to boost sales.
However, Claire echoed what a lot of people were thinking as she insisted she doesn’t “have time to relist every week”.
In another video, the reselling pro also urged people to keep their eyes open for worn Crocs at the charity shop.
Sharing a snap of the “battered” ones she’d picked up for £1, Claire revealed she sold them on Vinted for £8.
“Nothing wrong with that, someone obviously wanted them!” one person commented on the video.
“I’ll be keeping my eye out!”
“Definitely worth it!” Claire replied.
New Vinted rules 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.
“The amount of times I have left Crocs because I have thought they were too worn.”
Someone else shared a “great tip” to put dirty Crocs in the dishwasher to clean them, as they “come up a treat”.
As another sighed: “Wild that people would pay that!
“I brought a pair worn once, £10, were basically brand new.”
“I know right! I did state they were only good for gardening,” Claire responded.
