Vinted takes 0% from sellers. Depop takes 3.3% + $0.45. eBay takes ~13.25% + $0.30. Poshmark takes 20%. On a $50 clothing sale you keep $50, $47.90, $42.95, and $40 respectively. List on all four if you sell mainstream fashion; price 5-10% lower on Vinted to capitalize on the fee gap.
Vinted charges sellers zero fees. Not reduced fees. Not a promotional period. Zero. You list for free, sell for free, and keep every dollar. On a $50 clothing sale, that's $10 more in your pocket than Poshmark gives you, and roughly $3 more than eBay.
While most American resellers weren't paying attention, this Lithuanian marketplace quietly crossed 100 million users, hit ten billion euros in gross merchandise value, and started accepting US transactions. In early 2026, Vinted launched in New York with plans to go after a US resale market projected to reach $40 billion by 2029.
If you sell on Poshmark or eBay, the fee gap alone should have your attention. But this isn't just a fee story — it's a reshuffling of the four platforms most US sellers actually use.
Vinted in 60 Seconds
Vinted launched in Vilnius, Lithuania in 2008. The growth curve recently went vertical: 2024 revenue of 813 million euros (up 36% year over year), 2025 GMV past 10 billion euros, and over 100 million users across 20+ countries plus Canada. In late 2025 it enabled cross-border UK-US transactions; in early 2026 it formally launched in New York. A reported secondary share sale could value the company at roughly 8 billion euros — IPO territory, not startup territory.
100M+ users across 20+ countries. 2024 revenue: 813M euros (+36% YoY). 2025 GMV: 10B+ euros. Seller fees: zero. Buyer Protection fee: 5% + 0.70 euros. Active in Europe, Canada, and now the US. Potential valuation: 8B euros.
Here's the actual math.
Side-by-Side Fees: Vinted vs Poshmark vs Depop vs eBay
Vinted
Zero seller fees. No listing fee, no final value fee, no commission. The platform makes money from a Buyer Protection fee charged on the buyer's side: 5% + 0.70 euros for orders under 500 euros, 2% above. Optional seller-side promotions (Item Bump, Wardrobe Spotlight) cost a few dollars per use and are entirely opt-in.
Poshmark
A flat 20% commission on sales of $15 or more. Sales under $15 trigger a flat $2.95 fee instead. No listing fees. Shipping is paid by the buyer via a flat-rate USPS label. This fee structure has been the same for years.
Depop
Depop eliminated its 10% seller commission in mid-2024 for US and UK sellers. What remains is a payment processing fee of 3.3% + $0.45 per transaction. Optional Boosted Listings cost an extra 8% on boosted sales in the US. eBay acquired Depop from Etsy for $1.2 billion in February 2026, so the fee structure may evolve.
eBay
On most apparel categories, eBay charges a final value fee of roughly 13.25% of the total sale (item + shipping) plus a $0.30 per-order fee. Payment processing is bundled into the final value fee. Promoted Listings (optional) add 2-15% on top, depending on the ad rate you set. Store subscribers see slightly reduced rates and free monthly listings.
How much does each platform pay on a $50 clothing sale?
Vinted pays you $50.00 (zero fees). Depop pays $47.90 after the 3.3% + $0.45 processing fee. eBay pays roughly $42.95 after the 13.25% + $0.30 final value fee. Poshmark pays $40.00 after the 20% commission. The Vinted-to-Poshmark gap is $10 per $50 sale — over 100 sales a month, that's $12,000 a year.
| Sale Price | Vinted | Depop | eBay | Poshmark |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $25 | $25.00 | $23.73 | $21.36 | $22.05 |
| $50 | $50.00 | $47.90 | $42.95 | $40.00 |
| $100 | $100.00 | $96.25 | $86.45 | $80.00 |
Poshmark $25 row reflects the 20% commission ($5.00). Sales under $15 on Poshmark instead trigger a flat $2.95 fee.
But the fees are only half the story.
Take 47 women's clothing items at an average $42 list price. Sell-through rates vary by platform, but assume 25% sell within 30 days at full price. Vinted nets you $493.50 (zero fees). Depop: $471.96. eBay: $429.85 (before any Promoted Listings spend). Poshmark: $394.80. The difference between Vinted and Poshmark on this one batch — $98.70 — covers a month of sourcing or a full automation subscription. The fee gap compounds every month, every batch.
Who shops on Vinted vs Poshmark vs Depop vs eBay?
Each platform attracts a distinctly different buyer. Vinted skews European, value-conscious, and sustainability-minded. Poshmark is US-dominant, brand-driven, and concentrated in the 25-45 women's contemporary segment. Depop is global, under-26, trend-driven. eBay is the broadest of the four — it covers everything from $5 thrifted basics to $5,000 designer pieces, with buyer demographics spanning every age group.
- Poshmark buyers (primarily 25-45, US-focused) search by brand and condition. They want specific items: "Lululemon Align 25 NWT size 6." Contemporary and premium brands perform best.
- Depop buyers (90% under 26, global) browse aesthetically. Vintage, streetwear, and one-of-a-kind pieces dominate. Discovery is visual and social.
- Vinted buyers (broad age range, European-dominant but expanding to the US) prioritize value and mainstream brands like Zara, Nike, Adidas, H&M, and ASOS. Kids' clothing moves quickly.
- eBay buyers (every demographic) come for selection and search. They're comfortable with auctions and Buy-It-Now alike, and they expect fast shipping and detailed listings.
Vinted in the US: Early Days, Big Ambitions
Vinted enabled cross-border UK-US transactions in late 2025 and held a high-profile New York launch event in early 2026. The US user base is small relative to Europe and the catalog is thinner — real constraints for sellers trying to make sales today. But Vinted has a track record of entering markets, growing aggressively through word-of-mouth (the zero-seller-fee model turns sellers into evangelists), and reaching critical mass within 12-24 months.
Platforms reward early sellers with better visibility. The same way early Poshmark sellers built dominant closets before competition intensified, getting established on Vinted US now means less competition for buyer attention. If Vinted hits critical mass over the next year, sellers who listed early will have reviews, followers, and algorithm favor that newcomers will not.
The Platform Landscape Is Reshuffling
Vinted is the growth story (revenue +36-40% annually, profitable, expanding). Poshmark is the established US incumbent — 80M+ registered users but flat-to-declining GMV — and the last major holdout at 20% commission. Depop is in transition under new eBay ownership; the fee structure may converge with eBay's over time. eBay itself remains the broadest reach but the most expensive of the four when you factor in promoted-listing costs. The common thread: fee structures are compressing, and 20% commissions are increasingly hard to defend.
Should You Add Vinted to Your Selling Strategy?
What does that mean for your closet:
Add Vinted Now If:
- You sell mainstream fashion brands (Zara, Nike, Adidas, H&M, ASOS, Mango) that align with Vinted's buyers.
- You sell kids' clothing or bundles, which move well on the platform.
- You're in Europe or Canada, where Vinted already has massive buyer traffic.
- You're comfortable being early to a growing US marketplace where traffic is still building.
Wait and Watch If:
- Your inventory leans premium or luxury US brands (Lululemon, Anthropologie, Tory Burch) where Poshmark's buyer base is stronger.
- You sell primarily vintage, streetwear, or trend-driven pieces — Depop's audience converts better on those.
- You're US-only and can't absorb the lower traffic that comes with a platform still building its American user base.
Why Cross-Listing All Four Beats Picking One
Each platform reaches a different buyer. Listed only on Poshmark, you reach 80M US users at 20% commission. Add Depop, and you add 56M global users at ~3.3%. Add Vinted, and you add 100M+ users at zero seller fees. Add eBay, and you reach the broadest buyer pool of the four — at the highest variable cost. Every item you list on only one platform is invisible to the other three platforms' buyers.
The risk of cross-listing is overselling: a buyer purchases an item on Vinted while it's still listed on eBay. Inventory sync via cross-listing tools handles this — it's a solved problem. The revenue upside of quadrupled exposure outweighs the occasional oversell.
Getting Started on Vinted: Practical Tips
- Start with your fastest-moving fashion inventory. List 20-30 items that align with what Vinted buyers want: mainstream brands, good condition, reasonable prices.
- Price 5-10% lower than your Poshmark price. You're keeping 100% on Vinted versus 80% on Poshmark — use the fee advantage to price competitively and still match your take-home.
- Ship quickly. Vinted buyers expect prompt shipping, and the platform tracks your dispatch time. Slow shipping kills visibility.
- Offer free shipping strategically. Buyers see the total cost; absorbing shipping on lower-priced items can lift conversion, and the zero-fee structure gives you margin room.
- Photograph well. Vinted's browse-heavy interface makes good photos especially important. Clean backgrounds, natural light, multiple angles.
- Build reviews early. Your first 10-20 positive reviews unlock a different level of buyer trust.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Vinted better than eBay for selling clothes?
For clothing under $50, Vinted is almost always better on net payout — zero seller fees vs eBay's ~13.25% + $0.30. For higher-priced or rarer items where eBay's broader buyer pool drives faster sell-through, eBay can still win on velocity. The honest answer is to list on both: Vinted captures the value-conscious mainstream buyer, eBay captures the searcher who knows exactly what they want.
Vinted vs Poshmark vs Depop vs eBay — who takes the smallest cut?
Vinted takes the smallest cut at 0% (the buyer pays a separate Buyer Protection fee). Depop is next at 3.3% + $0.45. eBay charges roughly 13.25% + $0.30 on apparel. Poshmark is the most expensive at 20% (or a flat $2.95 on sales under $15).
Does Poshmark really charge a flat $2.95 under $15?
Yes. Poshmark's fee structure is a flat $2.95 on every sale under $15, and a 20% commission on every sale of $15 and above. There is no listing fee. The flat fee makes very low-priced items disproportionately expensive — a $5 item nets you $2.05 after fees.
How much does Vinted take from a $100 sale?
Nothing. You keep the full $100. The buyer pays a separate Buyer Protection fee of 5% plus a fixed charge on their end, but that does not come out of your earnings.
Is Vinted good for selling luxury or premium brands?
Not as your primary channel. Vinted's buyer base skews toward value-conscious shoppers who want mainstream brands like Nike, Zara, and Adidas at fair prices. Premium US labels such as Lululemon, Tory Burch, or Anthropologie perform significantly better on Poshmark, where buyers search by brand and condition.
What happens if an item sells on Vinted and eBay at the same time?
An oversell occurs when two buyers purchase the same item simultaneously across platforms. Cross-listing tools with inventory sync resolve this automatically by delisting sold items the moment a sale is confirmed on any platform. If you cross-list manually, check and delist sold items quickly to minimize the risk.
How fast is Vinted growing in the US?
Vinted formally launched in the US in early 2026 after enabling cross-border UK-US transactions in late 2025. The company grew revenue 36-40% annually in Europe and surpassed 10 billion euros in GMV in 2025, but the US catalog and buyer base are still thin relative to Europe. Based on its track record in other markets, expect 12-24 months before the US reaches meaningful traffic.
