General Topics
Generally, buyers cover the shipping costs. The shipping cost is shown at checkout, and it’s automatically added to the total payment for the order.
In case a shipping option that comes with instructions is used, the seller has to pay upfront. This happens because some shipping options don’t use a prepaid label. The seller gets his payment back along with the earnings once the order is completed.

Once the item is sent
For certain shipping options, you may need to manually enter the tracking number and mark the item as sent within 5 business days of the purchase — just follow our instructions.
To have a safe and successful selling experience on Qiused, simply follow these tips:
1. Build a trusted profile, adjust your settings
- Add your profile picture and verify your account to show you're a real person.
- Write something about yourself in the "About you" section.
- If you wish to exclude certain carriers from your listings, adjust your shipping options.
2. List your items
- Find out what you can sell on Vinted.
- Add a few nice, clear photos of the item. If it's an item by a well-known brand, add at least 5 pictures of it to show its authenticity.
- Be specific and honest in the item's description, and select the correct parcel size.
- Remember that listing has no fees, and uploading more items can help you sell faster.
Note Once you upload an item, it might get screened automatically to go through a standard check to make sure it follows our Catalogue Rules and guidelines for selling. Normally, it takes up to 1 minute but, in some cases, can take up to 1 or 2 days.
3. While you wait for buyers
- Get noticed — Bump your items and use Wardrobe Spotlight to boost your wardrobe's visibility.
- Set a discount for item bundles: this may encourage members to buy more items from you.
- Choose which carriers will be available to your buyers. The more shipping options you offer, the faster your items are likely to sell.
- Once a buyer contacts you, use the Make an offer button to suggest a better price for a single item.
Important Stay on Vinted throughout your whole selling process — from communicating to receiving your payment. This way we will be able to cover you in case something goes not the way you expected.
4. It's sold! Time to ship
- Pack your item. A personal touch is always nice.
- Ship the item within 5 business days of the sale.
- Use the shipping option your buyer has chosen to avoid any issues with parcel tracking or even canceled orders.
- Track your parcel on Vinted if you'd like to.
5. Delivered! Get your earnings and leave feedback
- As soon as the buyer presses Everything is OK, your payment will become available in your Vinted Balance.
- Money withdrawals may take up to 5 business days to appear in your bank account.
- Leave feedback to your buyer and help to build trust within the community.
Good to know
- If you have closed an empty locker compartment and couldn't resend the item using the same label, cancel the order, explain what happened to the buyer, and ask them to buy that item again so a new label will be generated.
- If you ever experience any improper behaviour, harassment or spam activities from other members, report it so we can immediately put a stop to it.
The buyer pays for shipping
The shipping expenses are added to the item’s price and are shown in the total sum of the buyer’s order at the checkout. Shipping rates depend on the package's size and both the buyer’s and the seller’s locations.
When you sell an item, you’ll get a prepaid Qiused-generated shipping label in your email and Vinted inbox. However, if our shipping instructions don’t include a Vinted-generated shipping label, you’ll need to pay upfront and be reimbursed once the order is completed.
The buyer decides how you should ship
When the buyer presses the Buy now button to purchase your item, they will select the shipping provider you should send the item with. Please respect their choice, or your order might get canceled, and the buyer will be refunded.
Vinted cannot track the package if it was sent with a different shipping provider than indicated in the order details.
Managing your shipping options
Sellers can offer different shipping options to their buyers. The shipping options you can select depend on your location — the more options you offer to your buyers, the higher your chances of selling! You can learn more about managing your shipping options.
Note You can select the shipping options you want to offer to your buyers in your postage settings.
5 days to send the item
You’ll have 5 working days to send a sold item. If you miss this deadline, we’ll have no choice but to cancel the order.
