Creating a Vinted Account

  So, let's get started! Before you can jump in and start making some extra cash, the first stage is setting up your Vinted profile. Creating an attractive profile is crucial to attracting potential buyers to make your Vinted experience as successful as possible. Here's how to do it. 

1. Sign-up and Choose a Username

To get started, first download the Vinted app or visit their website online. You will be prompted to sign up using your email, facebook, google or apple account to complete the first step. Following this, it's time to get creative and decide on your username. This is a good opportunity to make other Vinted users aware of the products you will be offering, and so try to include keywords like 'vintage' or 'streetwear' depending on what you plan to sell. Think outside of the box - a creative username will stick in the minds of customers who could come back to you for future purchases. 

2. Select a Profile Picture

Your profile picture is most likely the first thing shoppers will see when engaging with your profile, so choose wisely. A clear image of yourself with a friendly smile can create a welcoming atmosphere for your profile. If you plan to take the route of being a more 'professional' seller, take some time to create a captivating brand logo to catch the eyes of customers.

3. Link Your Social Media

I found this to be the best way to gain the trust of other Vinted users when I first launched my account as you will have no reviews yet. By putting a face to your account, you can showcase your own personal style and make users feel more confident to shop with you.

4. Round It Off

To finish off a great profile, I suggest filling out all the available fields such as your location and shipping preferences to show full transparency. This will further enhance your credibility within the Vinted community to become a respected seller.
