how does vinted make money

Vinted makes money primarily through multiple revenue streams: buyer protection fees charged to buyers on each transaction, promoted listings (such as bumping items for visibility), shipping partnerships where Vinted earns from discounted shipping rates, advertising on the platform, and paid professional seller accounts. Sellers generally do not pay fees, which encourages more listings and transactions. This business model focuses on generating revenue from buyers and optional paid features while keeping the marketplace attractive and low-cost for sellers. Vinted also benefits from controlling payments, shipping, and messaging within its ecosystem, ensuring revenue opportunities at each step.
