Vinted Pro vs Personal: The 2026 Breakdown Vinted launched Vinted Pro in the UK to support business sellers, but most casual resellers stick with personal accounts. Here's how to choose. Personal Accounts Selling fees: £0 — buyers pay the Buyer Protection fee No VAT on the platform side Limits: Informal — Vinted may flag accounts that look commercial Best for: Decluttering your wardrobe, casual reselling under ~£1,000/year Vinted Pro Selling fees: A small commission per sale (typically 5%) plus a fixed fee VAT registered — Vinted handles VAT invoicing Pro storefront with branding, bulk listing, and analytics Best for: Registered businesses, sole traders selling new or branded stock at scale HMRC Side From January 2024, Vinted reports seller data to HMRC if you exceed: 30 sales per year, OR €2,000 (~£1,700) in total sales This applies to both account types. The £1,000 trading allowance still protects casual sellers, but anything beyond it must be declared.
