Vinted is finally forcing me to go pro

Vinted is finally forcing me to go pro

Not sure how it’s taken this long as I’ve sold hundreds of items by now😅. Never really looked into pro accounts before, would appreciate if anyone who’s using one could let me know if there’s any major difference compared to a standard account.

Seen Fleek mentioned a lot for wholesale so just asking. Anyone here used it recently and what actually turned up? I’m trying to scale Depop and eBay a bit, maybe Vinted too, but thrifting isn’t cutting it anymore. Got around £500 to £1000 to invest but don’t wanna waste it on bad stock. Is it just luck with suppliers or is there a way to avoid getting burned?

Hello fellow resellers 👋 We've just launched a UK-based reseller discord.

We're trying to build a community here for UK resellers to hang out, share their finds and possibly even share some advice to some of the newer resellers.

We also have a bunch of active Vinted & eBay scanners in the server (as well as on Telegram), surfacing potentially profitable items the moment they go live on Vinted and eBay auctions ending soon.

If any of that sounds appealing you're welcome to join and get involved at:

Hello everyone, i work for an e commerce company. We are reputable sellers on ebay and amazon in bedding category. Over the last 2-3 years, business is struggling to generate revenue, profitability reduced, market oversaturated, increase in business overheads. Now, the business is on the verge of going bust in next 1-2 years if things don't improve. One of the core reasons business is losing money is amazon's hidden charges. there really isn't much margin left when it comes to selling on ebay and amazon. amazon and ebay force you to run ads or promotions to increase sales but that can eat up a lot of your profit and majority businesses end up with losing money. Also, almost all online businesses focus on the revenue than real profit. in few years time, you dont realize that you actually lose quite a lot money in the process and when sales decline you end up cash flow problem eventually.

i want to ask anyone who has had similar experience as a seller on amazon and ebay. how do you actually know that your products are making you profit not loss? do you keep a record of it in the form of spreadsheets? please note: our company is not a single product company, we sell hundreds of variations/SKUs probably over 500. We sell both on ebay and amazon.

would appreciate your advise and helpful comments.

regards

Ali

I was annoyed about the John Pye fees and how I always had to do maths to figure out what the final price might be, so I made a calculator. You can enter either the hammer (bid) price, or the max you want to pay and it will calculate the rest. Set delivery to £0 if you're doing a collection.
