One of the main advantages of second-hand clothing sales applications is that some allow the option of bartering, so in this article we will teach you how to make an exchange in Vinted . In this way we can take advantage of the catalog of garments that other users have without having to spend extra money.
Some users include an extra option when uploading garments that they no longer use or need, specifying that they are open to studying exchanges. If we are interested, we can let you know so that you can look through our articles and, if there is a garment or accessory of your interest, it will only be necessary to reach an agreement setting the same price for both articles when selling it.
WHAT IS THE SYMBOL OF THE EXCHANGE IN VINTED
To identify which users are open to this option in the application, we have to identify which is the symbol of the exchange in Vinted . When we browse and see that a garment has an icon with two opposite semicircular arrows, it means that that user may be interested in another garment instead of directly obtaining the money. We will only have to write to you to see if there is something on our list of items for sale that you like.
STEPS TO SELL AND TRADE ON VINTED
To do so in a safe way and following the rules of use of the platform, it is convenient to know the steps to sell and make exchanges in Vinted . Having contacted the other seller (it is always recommended to do so using the application’s own chat and not an external one), both of you will have to modify the price of the items in question so that they are the same, for example, ten euros.
When you set it, you go back to looking for the item you want to buy and click on ‘Buy now’, the same procedure that the other participant in the exchange will have to follow. At this time, you follow all the steps of the ‘Shipping instructions’ and each one save your respective shipping receipt.
The only thing you have to pay in the exchanges is the buyer protection fee , which is set at 0.70 euros and five percent of the price of the item, VAT included. When you receive the item that you have exchanged with the other user, the price that you ‘paid’ for the item by clicking on ‘Buy now’ will be returned, so the amount to be paid will be in practice symbolic.
Vinted emphasizes that exchanges should never take place outside of the ecosystem of its application , since that would make it difficult for any of the users who want to raise a complaint or claim about the state in which the exchanged garment is found upon receipt. It is for this reason that all the procedures and deals you reach in Vinted should not take place in person or through WhatsApp or by email.
To detect if a user is trusted when proposing or making an exchange, it is always useful to review their profile . The evaluations that other users make of the purchases they have made with that person in question are key to creating a positive reputation within the application and thus avoiding being scammed. If we take extreme precautions and inform ourselves well, Vinted is an ideal application to keep our wardrobe up to date without the need to make a large financial investment.
