Vinted is a peer-to-peer online marketplace for secondhand fashion founded in 2008 by Milda Mitkute and Justas Janauskas in Vilnius, Lithuania. The platform has grown into Europe's largest secondhand clothing marketplace and has expanded into the United States, allowing individuals to buy and sell pre-owned clothing, shoes, and accessories. Vinted's key differentiator is that it charges no seller fees, instead generating revenue through optional listing promotions and buyer protection fees.

The platform hosts tens of millions of members across more than 20 markets in Europe and North America, with billions of euros worth of items listed. Vinted supports a wide range of fashion categories from everyday casual wear and children's clothing to designer brands and vintage finds. The company provides buyer protection that covers items not received or significantly not as described. Vinted's mission centers on making secondhand fashion the first choice worldwide, and the platform has become a significant player in the circular fashion economy, valued at over 3.5 billion euros following its 2024 funding round.

Vinted has become the dominant peer-to-peer secondhand fashion marketplace in Europe and is making strong inroads in the US market. The zero-seller-fee model is the key differentiator -- it removes a significant barrier that keeps casual sellers off competing platforms, resulting in an enormous and constantly refreshed inventory of tens of millions of items. Pricing tends to be very competitive because sellers are not building platform fees into their prices. The buyer protection program and broad payment options including Vinted Wallet provide transaction security. However, the peer-to-peer model means quality is entirely seller-dependent. The 2-day return window is extremely short and creates real risk, especially since items arrive uncleaned and in varying conditions. No free shipping increases total cost. Authenticity verification for designer items is less robust than dedicated luxury resale platforms. Delivery at 5-10 days reflects individual seller shipping speed. For budget-conscious shoppers comfortable with the variability of peer-to-peer transactions, Vinted offers unmatched inventory breadth at often unbeatable prices.
