According to this 18-year-old reseller, posting items on Vinted is best done around pay day and at the start of the month[/caption]

And according to Ted Filby, 18, a young business owner from the UK, selling items fast on the marketplace app is all in the timing.

Posting on social media, Ted revealed the “best times to list on Vinted for highest chance of sale.”

He explained that thanks to his advice, it has “helped [him] make over £35k.”

While Ted recognised that Friday evenings are a great time to post, he suggested that sellers should upload items to the app during the middle of day, from 12pm to 2pm.

Where evenings are concerned, he recommended listing items between 6pm and 10pm. 

And for those wanting to upload their old stuff during the weekend, he recognised between 10am and 3pm as the best time slot.

Not only this, but the savvy content creator also revealed the “best time of the year” to upload items to Vinted, for those wanting to maximise sales

He stressed that it’s a good idea to list items around pay day and at the start of the month – so you’ll need to get listing items today if you want to make cash fast. 

He also stressed that tapping into seasons plays a big part in how fast you will sell stock.

Ted claimed that with summer finally here and the weather heating up, he plans to begin uploading summer stock. 

But that’s not all, as Ted recognised that after Christmas is also a great time to sell on Vinted.

And finally, Ted claimed that “discount times”, such as Black Friday, Cyber Monday and Boxing Day, are peak times when shoppers are actively looking on the app. 

Do you need to pay tax on items sold on Vinted?

QUICK facts on tax from the team at Vinted...

  • The only time that an item might be taxable is if it sells for more than £6,000 and there is profit (sells for more than you paid for it). Even then, you can use your capital gains tax-free allowance of £3,000 to offset it.
  • Generally, only business sellers trading for profit (buying goods with the purpose of selling for more than they paid for them) might need to pay tax. Business sellers who trade for profit can use a tax-free allowance of £1,000, which has been in place since 2017.

Social media users react

Good tips for the sellers!

It’s also amassed 3,701 likes, 114 comments and 2,535 saves. 

Vinted sellers were thankful for the handy advice, as one person said: “Good tips for the sellers!” 

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.

But at the same time, others shared what they do to sell items fast, as one woman simply wrote: “Accept all offers.” 

Another agreed and penned: “Accepting reasonable offers, send items the same/next day.” 

Whilst a third explained: “I also sell preloved clothing! Shipped either the same day or next day! I accept offers and bundles!!”

Samie Elishi shows ex Sam Thompson what he’s missing as she shows off amazing figure in bikini

LOVE Island beauty Samie Elishi showed ex boyfriend Sam Thompson just what he was missing as she stripped to a bikini for a boat day.

The All Stars alum, who we exclusively revealed had split with the Made In Chelsea star last week, looked sensational on her girls trip to Ibiza.

Sam, 32, and Samie, 25, confirmed they were dating in early May when they were spotted sharing a steamy kiss on a night out.

Yet just weeks later they decided they were best as mates.

The ITV2 show star has now headed for a girls-only trip to the White Isle, flashing her washboard abs in her swim two-piece.

She chose a blue and yellow patterned halterneck, with matching bottoms tied high on the hip.

The swimwear flattered her glowing tan and Samie – who has appeared on both Love Island’s main run and All Stars spin-off – styled her brunette hair into natural beachy waves.

She tied it in a half up-do, while accessorising with bold gold earrings and natural make-up.

The former senior estate agent coordinator perched inside the boat, holding a drink in one hand and her sunglasses in the other, as she posed one Instagram snap.

After enjoying a sip of the red cocktail, Samie posted a video which showed her dancing on-board with her mates.

In her caption, she joked about spending time away from her phone and put: “Why we haven’t replied.”

A fan then wrote: “Gorgeous.”

Another added: “The best girls having the best time!!!”

PARTING WAYS

Sam was first pictured snogging Samie and holding her face as they smooched outside Olivia Attwood’s 34th birthday bash. 

They were also snapped walking arm in arm afterwards and he tenderly placed a hand on her waist.

While the pair didn’t share their relationship on social media, Sam did praise Samie on his podcast, Staying Relevant with pal Pete Wicks.

Love Island All Stars Samie Elishi and Grace Jackson Feud

LOVE Island's Samie Elishi and Grace Jackson locked horns in the All Stars villa - yet what's the situation?

Samie Elishi told how she had confronted Grace Jackson at The BRITs after the ITV2 alum claimed she was the “snakiest” in the villa.

It came after the pair had tried to avoid each other when partying with the same friends.

Samie‘s arrival in the Love Island spin-off this year sparked issues between Grace and partner Luca Bish, 25.

Samie entered the ITV2 compound and proceeded to blow up the villa’s strongest couple as she admitted to fancying Brighton lad Luca, before whisking him off on a date.

Stirring up the drama further after her arrival, Samie promptly referred to the secret DMs she shared with Luca in the real world.

Yet the pair felt no connection and Samie was swiftly dumped from the villa days later.

Grace was then said to have revealed her “true feelings” about Samie as she appeared to smirk during her eviction.

Grilled by his best mate, he was relatively tight-lipped but said: “What I will say though, really awesome chick. You met her that night. Really, really lovely. Super down to earth, super nice, beautiful, obviously.”

Samie, meanwhile, opened up about the romance last month during an appearance on the We Talk To The Dead podcast.

Last week, The Sun exclusively revealed the pair had decided to go their separate ways weeks after first being spotted together on a cosy date.

A source close to the former couple said: “It was a mutual thing and there is no bad blood between them.

“They both just have really busy schedules, particularly Sam who has been non-stop recently, and it was really hard to make it work. They’re still good mates.

“It’s a shame but sometimes things just don’t work out.”

Hints of trouble between the pair were first raised after Sam was cagey when quizzed about Samie while promoting his Soccer Aid challenge for Unicef earlier this month.

Asked if she would be there to support him, Sam told MailOnline: “I feel like… this is so much more than who I’m dating or hooking up with.

“And I feel like it would take away from what it is going on. You know what I mean?”

Sam began dating Samie after splitting with Zara McDermott late last year.
