eBay vs Vinted Fees (2026): Vinted Charges Sellers Nothing

Vinted takes nothing from sellers. Here's how that works, who really pays, and where eBay still wins.

SNAPLISTER GUIDES · RESELLING · UPDATED JULY 2026

Vinted charges sellers nothing. No commission, no listing fee, no payment processing. That isn't a promotion — it's the business model. Here's how that's possible, and where the real cost sits.

The short answer: Vinted takes $0 from sellers. eBay takes about $14 on a $100 sale. Vinted charges the buyer a Buyer Protection fee instead — $0.70 + 5% of the item price.

What you keep on a $100 sale

Vinted

$100.00

no commission
no listing fee
no processing fee

eBay

$86.00

13.6% final value = $13.60
+ $0.40 per order

You keep the full sale price. The buyer pays $5.70 on top in Buyer Protection.

Fee structure side by side

	Vinted	eBay
Selling fee	$0	13.6% (most categories)
Payment processing	$0 to the seller	included
Listing fee	Free	250 free/month, then ~$0.35
Buyer pays	Buyer Protection: $0.70 + 5% of item price	nothing extra
Shipping	Buyer pays via Vinted's prepaid labels	You set it — free, flat or calculated
Optional	Item Bump (price shown at purchase)	Promoted Listings, your chosen rate
$50 sale costs you	$0.00	$7.20 (14.4%)
$100 sale costs you	$0.00	$14.00 (14.0%)

Where the cost really lands. Vinted didn't remove the fee — it moved it to the buyer. Your item effectively costs them 5% more than the sticker price, which can soften demand or push you to price lower. Shipping is also buyer-paid via Vinted's own labels, so you're only out of pocket if you volunteer free shipping.

The real trade-off: audience

Vinted is fashion-only — clothing, shoes, accessories, and some home and beauty. It will not sell your electronics, tools, collectibles or car parts. It skews younger and toward affordable everyday secondhand rather than designer or collectible pieces.

eBay's 14% buys a far larger buyer pool and essentially every category. On a $100 fashion item that's a $14 difference; on anything Vinted doesn't accept, the comparison doesn't exist.

Verdict: For everyday secondhand clothing, Vinted is unbeatable on cost — you keep 100%. Use eBay for everything else, for higher-value or collectible fashion where buyer reach matters more than the fee, and when you want the item in front of the largest possible audience.

Fees aren't the whole story

A lower fee on an item that never sells is worth nothing. Before moving inventory, weigh buyer volume (eBay is the largest of these by a wide margin and sells nearly every category), category fit, and your time — listing the same item twice is real work.
