I’m a savvy mum – my easy hack will sell all your Vinted items, and save time while raking in cash
SELLING your second hand clothes can be a lucrative side hustle, but you can also spend months with unwanted items cluttering up your house.
Rather than waiting months to make a sale, one savvy mum has shared her hack which ‘guarantees’ someone will buy your clothes.

According to one influencer, you won’t have to pay to boost your items either.
Like many mums, Nicole began selling her kids clothes on Vinted as a way to make a little extra cash – but her page rapidly began to take off.
Though she regularly sold multiple items, some of her kids’clothing remained untouched for months.
Rather than sending the last few bits to the charity shop, the savvy mum found a hack to get them sold and save time.
It’s so good that the mum couldn’t gatekeep the Vinted tip and even made a Tiktok about it.
Before she heads to the post office, the busy mum will check her notifications and see who has liked some of her unsold clothing.
She will then send a copy and pasted message to any potential buyers, telling them she can send out the item that afternoon if they buy it.
Usually, this is enough to secure a sale.
She excitedly told her followers: “I guarantee you if you have five or six people who have liked the item, someone will buy it.
“It means that you only have to do one post run with all of your stuff, you get a few extra parcels sold and it just saves time.”
If you weren’t already tempted to use this nifty tip, other mums also said they swore by the sales tactic.
One wrote: “Completely agree! It has worked so much for me and I’ve managed to sell loads! I can see it’s annoying but why hate.”
“I use this technique and it’s worked for me although I did get [only] one message back,” added another.
Some weren’t so convinced about the method, as a third joked: “It always puts me off when I get this message.”
This isn’t the only hack that Nicole has discovered though.

With the summer approaching, the savvy seller will also prioritise selling her kids clothes which have been barely touched.
This is because parents will be on the lookout for cheap holiday clothes before the schools break up.
In fact, she claims this is the ‘main reason’ she uses the app, complaining that her kids will wear most items ‘once or twice’ before growing out of them.
As the countdown to summer has already begun, she said that it is the ‘prime time’ to sell the old holiday gear and find items for your kids.
The thrifty mum even revealed that she won’t cash in the money in her Vinted wallet and uses it to purchase cheap items for her little ones.
We wish we’d thought of this before our last trip to the high street.

New Vinted rules to be aware of
IF you fancy clearing out your wardrobe and getting rid of your old stuff on Vinted, you’ll need to consider the new rules that recently came into play.
If people are selling personal items for less than they paid new (which is generally the case for second-hand sales), there is no impact on tax.
However, since January 1, digital platforms, including eBay, Airbnb, Etsy, Amazon and Vinted, must share seller information with HMRC as part of a crackdown.
You’re unlikely to be affected if you only sell a handful of second-hand items online each year – generally, only business sellers trading for profit might need to pay tax.
A tax-free allowance of £1,000 has been in place since 2017 for business sellers trading for profit – the only time that an individual personal item might be taxable is if it sells for more than £6,000 and there is a profit from the sale.
However, firms now have to pass on your data to HMRC if you sell 30 or more items a year or earn over £1,700.
It is part of a wider tax crackdown to help ensure that those who boost their income via side hustles pay up what they owe.
While your data won’t be shared with HMRC if you earn between £1,000 and £1,700, you’ll still need to pay tax as normal.
