Which to choose
- Cheap items favour Vinted. Poshmark’s flat $2.95 is nearly 30% of a $10 sale. On Vinted you keep the full $10.
- Your asking price works differently. On Poshmark you price high enough to absorb 20%. On Vinted you can price lower, because the fee is added for the buyer.
- Audience. Poshmark is long established in the US. Vinted is newer there but growing fast: monthly US Google searches for “vinted” passed those for “poshmark” during 2026 (about 3.35 million against 1.83 million in October 2026).
- Shipping speed. Vinted requires you to ship within 5 business days; you can ask the buyer for 3 or 5 more.
Can you sell on both?
Yes, many sellers list the same item on several apps. Be careful with automated cross-listing tools on Vinted: there are reports of Vinted suspending accounts for automated posting, so list by hand or check Vinted’s rules first. If an item sells on one app, remove it from the other straight away so you don’t sell it twice.
