Account vetting
Chloe revealed her very first step is to always check the account that she is selling to or buying from as there are some ‘scam accounts’ floating around on the app.
She said: ‘The first thing that you shouldn’t be doing on Vinted is not checking accounts.
‘I call this ‘account vetting’ and if I’m buying or selling to somebody, I will go to their account and check their reviews, check their bio, check everything that there is to do with their account.
‘If something feels a little bit dodgy, then I just either don’t buy from them or I don’t sell to them.
‘This is so important because so many accounts are made to scam people now, so if they don’t have any reviews, if their username looks really weird, if they have nothing in their bio or no picture, stay clear from these sorts of accounts.
‘Please, please, please before you buy anything or before you sell to somebody, you need to make sure that it is a genuine account and that it is an actual person rather than a scam account.’

Recycle packaging
Elsewhere Chloe revealed that you don’t have to spend money on fancy packaging to send items.
She said: ‘Please, please, please do not buy the TikTok shop bags to ship your items in – please recycle.
‘Ask your family, ask your friends, ask your partner, ask your neighbours, collect old packaging, because this is so much better for the environment and it really, really saves a lot of waste.’
Collecting packages
Chloe stressed that it is very important to collect packages quickly and if you will be away get the package delivered to the house.
She said: ‘The third thing that you shouldn’t be doing is leaving your parcels when you should be collecting them.
‘Please, please, please, if you are a buyer, collect your parcel.
‘I buy and sell on Vinted and if something is delivered to the parcel shop, I try and pick it up straight away, because I know how frustrating it is when you are a seller and you’re waiting for somebody to pick up their parcel and they just don’t.’

Don’t spray perfume
Chloe urged Vinted sellers to not spray the clothes with perfume before they package them up.
She warned: ‘The fourth thing that you shouldn’t be doing – this one is for sellers – is spraying your items with perfume.
‘I’m such a strong believer that you should just leave the item, don’t do anything with it like that because people have allergies, people have sensory issues, some people might not like the smell of your perfume.
‘It’s also a waste of your own perfume as well, don’t waste your nice perfume on your Vinted items, just leave it, honestly.
‘And if you think your item smells, warn the buyer. I would much rather somebody say that to me than absolutely drown it in perfume.’
Fill out your bio
Finally, Chloe claimed it was very important to ensure that your bio was complete.
She explained: ‘The fifth and final thing that you should not be doing is leaving your bio blank.
‘Fill in your bio, put a nice picture, put in a little bit of information about you.’
Chloe said this makes sales ‘a little bit more personal’ and allows users to identify whether you are a real person or a scam account.
She added: ‘Loads of scam accounts just leave their bio blank, they don’t put in a picture, but if you look like a genuine person and you want to buy and sell on Vinted, put something in your bio, it’s there for a reason.
‘If you’re a seller, put what days you ship, what sort of items you have, whether you’re open to offers.
‘It doesn’t even have to be a picture of you, it can be of your dog, of a plant, of a nice view, just make it so that it actually looks like a real account.’
Many Vinted sellers rushed to the comments with their own pet peeves about selling on the app.
One person wrote: ‘When you accept an offer & the buyer never pays, drives me mad!!’
Another added: ‘I get annoyed at the buyer never pressing the everything’s ok button and they leave it for it to automatically do it and also they never give a review no matter how friendly I am they leave it to auto.’
Someone else said: ‘I have to buy the bags cos I have loads to get rid off – I run out of carrier bags immediately as I barely buy them to start with!’
