A VINTED whizz has revealed her top secret to bring in cash.
Abbie, from the UK, took to social media to share how she sold 127 items in just one week.
The self-titled thrifting mum said: "In the past seven days, I have had 127 Vinted sales.
"Stick around and I'll give you five of my best top tips to try and up your sales."
1. Consistent uploads
Abbie's first rule was to be consistent with uploading items.

"You need to be uploading a few items every single day in order to keep your wardrobe bumped up to the top," she explained.
"Because you might list a dress and within 24 hours there might have been another 6,000 women's dresses listed on top of yours.
"So that your dress will just be so low in the search, that people probably won't be searching in that category long enough to be able to find your item."
2. Lighting
Another big help for Abbie in shifting stuff quickly has been to focus on lighting in her images.
She said using natural daylight over camera flash was much brighter and better quality, leading people to buy them.
3. Higher price tag
The Vinted reseller also suggested listing your items for a higher price than you want to sell them for.
For instance, if she wanted £10, she would list it for £12 so that people can make a cheaper offer without you losing out on cash.
4. Evening vs morning
Abbie also realised people were more likely to view her items in the evening than the morning as more people were using the app around this time.
So she recommends listing your items in the evening to make sure plenty of people saw the item.
5. Add measurements
Last but not least, Abbie recommended adding measurements to product descriptions, particularly for men's clothes and plus-size clothes for women.
She said: "A lot of men want to know the pit-to-pit measurement.
Do you need to pay tax on items sold on Vinted?
QUICK facts on tax from the team at Vinted...
- The only time that an item might be taxable is if it sells for more than £6,000 and there is profit (sells for more than you paid for it). Even then, you can use your capital gains tax-free allowance of £3,000 to offset it.
- Generally, only business sellers trading for profit (buying goods with the purpose of selling for more than they paid for them) might need to pay tax. Business sellers who trade for profit can use a tax-free allowance of £1,000, which has been in place since 2017.

"Ladies for dresses, they like to know like shoulder to hem measurement.
"So just include as many measurements as you can in the listing and it will avoid people then having to message you."
