Vinted fee calculator
The calculator on this page is almost boring: your payout on Vinted is your price. The interesting part is understanding why — and how the buyer's side of the fee still shapes what you can charge.

Zero seller fees is real, and it isn't free
Vinted moved the fee to the other side of the transaction: buyers pay a protection fee — a percentage plus a fixed amount — on top of your price. You list at $20, you receive $20, but the buyer paid more than $20 at checkout. The money platforms make hasn't vanished; it has moved into your buyer's total.
That placement changes pricing psychology in a way sellers can use. Buyers compare the checkout total, not your sticker: your $20 competes against another platform's $20-with-free-fees. Because the protection fee has a fixed component, it weighs proportionally heaviest on cheap items — the segment Vinted is strongest in — so on low-priced pieces your effective price to the buyer is a few points above what you typed. If your items cross-list elsewhere, matching sticker prices across platforms does not mean matching buyer prices.
The trade for zero fees: shipping is buyer-paid through the platform's label system, payouts require a bank transfer step, and disputes route through the buyer-protection process the fee funds. You are not paying in fees; you are paying in process.
Questions
Does Vinted really take nothing from sellers?
For standard sales, the listed price is what you receive — the platform's cut comes from the buyer's protection fee. Optional services (bumping listings, wardrobe spotlights) do cost sellers money, and those are the main way sellers end up paying Vinted anything.
So should I price higher or lower than on other platforms?
Think in buyer totals: your price plus their protection fee — usually 5% + $0.70 — is what the buyer weighs against prices elsewhere. On cheap items that fixed 70 cents is proportionally big, so being slightly under your cross-listed price often makes the buyer totals match.
What is the catch, then?
Process, not fees: label-based shipping, payout steps, and buyer-protection disputes. And the buyer fee effectively raises your price a few percent in the buyer's eyes, which matters in a niche where a dollar or two decides the sale.
