I’m the Queen of Vinted – I made £750 profit in a year, it’s so easy & means my own purchases are free
A WOMAN who describes herself as the "Queen of Vinted" has revealed how she made £750 in a year.
Emma is a regular user of the website - both as a seller and a buyer.
And in a video on her TikTok page, she explained how she's made the most of the app.
In a rundown of one of her most successful years, Emma revealed that she sold an impressive 258 items on Vinted, and bought 153.
Her most successful sales category was bundles, followed by jumpers and tops, with 35 and 33 sold respectively.
She also bought 153 items, costing her £918.95, which included the cost of postage to.

But as she made a profit of £750.40 from selling on the app, she actually only ended up spending £168.55.
That means that, on average, Emma only spent £1.10 on each item, including postage.
And out of the items she bought, Emma resold 38 of them - 26 immediately, explaining: "Pretty much all of those 26 were because I didn't like it or it didn't fit - reasons that you would return things to a retailer.
"Obviously it doesn't have returns but you can just resell it."
She also resold 12 items because she "got bored of them".
Continuing her rundown of the year, Emma added that she had eight orders cancelled - because the seller didn't send them - and she had one package lost.
And concluding, Emma revealed her "lessons learned", including to "never use freight to send something breakable", and that if something seems too good to be true, it "probably is".
She added that if the person has listed loads at £10 and one at £1, there's probably something wrong with the £1 one.
Lastly, Emma said: "Your wardrobe is an ever evolving beast but evolving does not mean getting bigger.
"Just as many things have to leave as things have to enter to evolve".
People in the comments section were quick to weigh in on Emma's rundown, with one writing: "I wish Vinted separated the balance section into sales and purchases so make it easier for totalling up!"
"I’ve been saying this forever!!!" Emma replied.
"I always end up not noticing sales because there’s too much going on all in one tab!!"
"Have a huge love and hate relationship with vinted," another added.
