Using Royal Mail for selling on Vinted

Whether you’re an online marketplace seller or just casually selling your pre-loved items on Vinted, we’ve made it super-easy for buyers to get your goods.

Once your buyer selects and pays for Royal Mail Tracked 48 on the Vinted App or website, you’ll automatically be sent a link to get the shipping label. 

You’ll receive the link to the shipping label in your email inbox, as well as instructions on how to send the order (i.e. where to drop-off the parcel). You can print the label at home or use the QR code, and you can then scan the code, print your label and drop off all in the same location. This will either be at your nearest Royal Mail shop or a Post Office branch.

Vinted has written a useful guide on managing your shipping options for sellers who'd like to know more.
