Vinted vs eBay for Sellers: Which Fits Which Item?
Independent analysis from live listing data.
Vinted charges private sellers no commission, which suits everyday fashion. eBay suits rare or collectable items. Pick per listing, not per shop.
Vinted and eBay both sell secondhand clothing, but they take very different cuts and attract different buyers. The right answer is usually 'both, depending on the item'.

Resale IQ shows which items have demand. All figures from live Vinted listings. Methodology
Fees
Vinted charges buyers a Buyer Protection fee and lets sellers list free, so more of the sale price reaches you.
eBay charges the seller a final value fee plus insertion costs above the free listing allowance — meaningfully more per sale.
Audience and item fit
Vinted is fashion-focused with a large, mobile, everyday-brand EU audience — ideal for mid-market clothing volume.
eBay reaches a wider, more international and often older buyer base, and does better on collectables, rare sizes, technical gear and vintage with a story. If you're weighing a third option for that curated end, Vinted vs Depop for sellers covers where each one pays more.
How to choose per item
