How to make Vinted shipments easier? Practical InPost guide

Vinted has become one of the most popular platforms for buying and selling second-hand clothing. If you're just starting out as a seller or simply want to improve your shipping process, here's how to do it step by step with InPost: convenient, fast, and without depending on schedules.

First, who pays the Vinted shipping cost?

The buyer is the one who covers the shipping cost at checkout. Vinted automatically generates a prepaid label that the seller only has to print and attach to the package.

How many days does the seller have to ship on Vinted?

Once the purchase is made, the buyer chooses their shipping method and pays the fees. Vinted generates a prepaid label that you must print and place on the package. Then, you have to drop it off at an InPost locker or take it to a Punto Pack within 5 business days.

What happens if the seller doesn't ship the package?

If you do not ship within the established deadline, Vinted automatically cancels the sale and the buyer receives a full refund. In addition, it could affect your reputation as a seller on the platform.
