What profit margin does buy-below target?
Vinted profit margin
Vinted profit margin in the buy-below model is the room you keep after the modelled 5% platform deduction. The 0.70 multiplier targets roughly a 30% margin on the departure ask. It is a planning target, not a guaranteed net on the item in your hand.
On a €40 departure ask, 5% leaves about €38 net revenue; 30% of that sale as margin implies a max buy around €26.60. Pay €30 and you are working for roughly 21%. Pay €34 and you are working for free once one item in ten fails to sell. Those euros are an illustration of the formula, not a quote for a named model.
The target should not be identical on every piece. Slow, expensive stock needs a wider margin because cash is tied up longer. Fast, cheap stock can run thinner. A single blanket percentage is a reasonable starting point and a poor long-term policy.
Turns beat fat margins that never clear. Dead stock at a 60% sticker margin is worse than a 20% flip that leaves the shelf. Pair this page with sell-through and max buy price.

What profit margin does buy-below target?
Vinted profit margin in the buy-below model is the room you keep after the modelled 5% platform deduction. The 0.70 multiplier targets roughly a 30% margin on the departure ask. It is a planning target, not a guaranteed net on the item in your hand.
Should every item use 30%?
No. Slow, expensive stock needs a wider margin; fast stock can run thinner. The 0.70 is Resale IQ's default planning target, not a rule of nature. Method: https://resaleiq.dev/manual/the-buy-below-price
Does a live check guarantee that margin?
No. Buy-below is a sourcing ceiling. Condition, size, authentication risk and whether the item actually leaves the shelf still decide the realised net. Plans: https://resaleiq.dev/pricing
