In addition to the usual advice, such as only selling good quality pictures and clear descriptions, the young woman had some surprising advice for her followers about the app.
Rather than spending every day at the post office, Saffy has found a hack for getting an extra time to send her parcels - without getting bad customer reviews.
Instead of rushing to her nearest letterbox, the savvy seller will click on to the sold item and request the shipping label from Vinted.
This will send an automatically generated post label to your email address, with slightly later date on it - giving you extra time to get in the post.
"Just look at the slip that [it] sends through and the date will be different," Saffy revealed.
She added: "You should be able to get an extra day to post your item that way without having to worry about it, cancelling your order or annoying the person that has bought it."
Be warned though that this hack only works, when Vinted has been chasing you to send the item so you'll be aware of when to use this hack.
"This is something I do [when] I don't want to go into the post office every single day," she explained, adding: "It's not reasonable, I'm not ASOS…sometimes you just need a bit more time."
This isn't the only advice that Saffy had for sellers, as she also revealed her other game-changing tactic in another video.
Acccording to the super seller, she will recondition every single one of her items before uploading them to the app.
Whether it's using a lint roller or shining shoes, the content creator claims that this makes all the difference to her sales.
Her favourite hack is de-bobbling clothes though, with her saying: "I think it's made all the difference because it makes everything look almost new again, so make sure everything is in as good condition as possible."
With this tips and tricks, you are sure too boost your bank balance now.
