I think you are right about both not needing a huge number of listings and in specialing. My approach is to buy good quality, good profit smaller everything items (easier storage and packing) and spcialising. Specialising allows you to gain improved knowledge and out compete the.general market. I love your videos. Best wishes, Roger.
Just wanted to say a big thanks. The missus got a pair of knee high converse and 4 pairs of run star hikes thanks to your videos. Keep up the good work James. 👍
Incredible! She must be taking all the run stars! I haven’t found a pair for weeks now 😂 nicely done on the knee highs too. I’ve only ever found the one pair…
I’m so sorry the sales have been slow for you as you do so well and put your heart and soul into it and it shows … keep up the good work , love the content 😊
Would like to see a video of you on Vinted making purchases and estimating what return you think you could get from each, would make good content. Loving the videos 👍🏼 keep it up
Hi, unfortunately that’s probably the only thing I won’t share. It’s all about technique when it comes to sniping shoes, so don’t really want to give that away to the competition 😊
Hi James how do you get the soles on the shoes ie converse looking so white and do you throw the converse and trainers in the washing machine all the time. I’m just starting out and I’ve tried just cleaning by hand but they don’t look as good as yours. Is the photography also a factor in them looking so good. Thanks for any help much appreciated. 😊
What a win on the Converse! Just to say - authentication items that sell via GSP don't get authenticated, they go straight to Global Shipping Centre (still get free shipping label though). It's frustrating because the whole point of Authentication is to protect both sellers and buyers, but if the buyer purchases via GSP that completely goes out the window. Had that with a US buyer last year who scammed me and said I'd sent different trainers to what they ordered (I hadn't, they just swapped them for some cheaper ones). Had to provide a US returns label which logistically is very tricky and then was able to do 50% refund for the wrong item being returned under Top Rated Seller protection, but all in all a painful experience! Most buyers aren't like that thankfully but the non-authentication does open the door to chancers.
Oh that’s interesting to know. I had no idea about that, so appreciate the education there! Shame you had issues with yours, I’ll keep TH-cam updated if there’s any problems with this buyer 😬👍🏼
I'm guessing when you say you paid a fiver on vinted, you mean without postage. It might be clearer to add the postage on top each time as it really is shoes plus postage. Please could you say each time including postage as it helps to learn the margins. Thanks in advance
I'm currently on holiday in Norfolk & Suffolk, a lot of town centres are half empty & shops closed down, spoke to people on Norwich market & it's been a very slow start to the year, we are coming out of recession, things will improve moving forward
A recession would boost demand for cheaper places such as markets and secondhand goods on eBay so it’s not that. We’ve had the wettest few months for a long time which will discourage people going out to shops and markets, on top of inflation reducing disposable income.
Thanks for watching! I don’t go into too much detail on how I actually snipe, but all I’ll say is, it takes patience and a lot of page refreshing! Also set a price limit you’re comfortable spending. Thanks 😊
Great sale £15 into £189! Just shoes theres always money to be made on Vinted, Iv’e got 5 pairs of trainers coming from vinted finally back on there trying to snipe some 🤣
@@JammyDodgerFlips yeah your videos have definitely helped me out but its hard getting them cheap now i used to get them for £5 plus delivery but people starting to catch on now
Nah not a lot of time to be honest. I just keep the app open whilst I take pictures or package items, if I looked at screen time I’m sure it’ll be ridiculous, but my eyes aren’t constantly on it.
@@JammyDodgerFlips That's good to know. I work full time and do this on the side. I have to up my buying price as I don't have the time to source lower at lower prices. Additionally knowledge is power the more brands you know that do well the better.
Do you make use of the variable selling fee promotions that come every other weekend? I only list with this now as it saves me money (particularly for higher value items).
I have been doing the same but have stopped receiving the promotions for the last two weeks. The only difference I can work out is that I have been doing drafts and waiting for the promotional email. Possibly the fact that I have items in draft waiting to be listed has stopped the promotion coming my way???
@@larryjuana9309 I mean they only come every 2 weeks so it might have just missed one. Sometimes I've had the offer arrive on Sunday instead of Friday.
I think this feature is only for private sellers. As a business seller we don’t get many offers from eBay, unfortunately. I’m on a basic shop, so get the 250 free listings per month.
Good to keep listings numbers down, but how many do you list a day? Also, what's your average profit per item, please? Has it gone up moving from everything to shoes? Cheers
I’m listing 5 pairs of shoes a day now, average buy price is £13.50 (£10 Vinted buy) for an average sale of £35-40. So after everything, profit sits around £20-25 per item, after all fees/tax. But of course sometimes it’s a higher sale, sometimes it’s lower. My turnover of stock has massively moved up since going to shoes, my 90 day was around 250 solds 6 months ago, and is now on the 500 mark. So I think it’s the right move for the business right now. Thanks 😊
This video shows that you really don’t need much stock. It’s more about the quality. I’d say for a grand a month you could quite easily make that with 50 active listings at any one point. Just try to get the average sale price up.
Haha the TH-cam algorithm working its magic! Appreciate it mate & hope you’re well. Left the job just over a year ago & made the channel too, both the best decisions I’ve made!
Hi Jamie dodger when’s the trainer cleaning video coming out .I’ve just started up selling and ruined 2 pairs of trainers I bought off vinted all ready by putting them in the washing machine 🙈🥲😂

Thanks for the realistic advice, It pays to know what is worth looking for.
No problem! More to come 😊

Thank you! They were slow-ish earlier last week but like I said, I still hit target so it’s no harm done! Just a struggle to get there 😊
I feel you - can't wait for the car boots to start up again here in Wales, it is far too wet at the moment though!
Yes! It’s such a pain. Seems to be a few days of sun and then solid rain for a whole week! Just need these summer months to hurry up.

@@JammyDodgerFlipsyou already pretty much have mate unfortunately
Lol, no I haven’t. Never shared exactly how I get them within a few seconds. Just mainly talk about the brands to look for…
@@JammyDodgerFlips I wasn’t having a go mate, I’m just saying people only need to watch a few videos to put 2+2 together
Get some magic sponges for the midsole cleaning. Absolute game changer.
Heard of these, good idea but they seem to break apart easy. So I use my own technique

Do you recommend any postal scales? And postage printers? Thanks
Hi, I use a Dymo 4XL printer, does a great job. Scales are just cheap Amazon ones, but have lasted for years! Sorry for the late reply.
Awesome vid mate, love these types of vid and just found ur channel! I’ve subbed :)
Thanks for subbing! More like this to come 😊

Where did you get your metal shelves from?
Answered in my Q&A but if you missed it, B&Q or most home hardware shops. Just basic metal racking
Very informative video thanks !
Please how do you manage to get bargains from vinted ?
Thanks for watching! I don’t go into too much detail on how I actually snipe, but all I’ll say is, it takes patience and a lot of page refreshing! Also set a price limit you’re comfortable spending. Thanks 😊
Great sale £15 into £189! Just shoes theres always money to be made on Vinted, Iv’e got 5 pairs of trainers coming from vinted finally back on there trying to snipe some 🤣
Yes!! Great to hear, hopefully they sell well for you.
Vinted is great, you’ve just got to know what to buy 🙌🏼
@@JammyDodgerFlips yeah your videos have definitely helped me out but its hard getting them cheap now i used to get them for £5 plus delivery but people starting to catch on now
Do you find you spend most of your time sourcing on vinted? As I imagine it takes quite a while to find 5 quality items at £10 or under?
Nah not a lot of time to be honest. I just keep the app open whilst I take pictures or package items, if I looked at screen time I’m sure it’ll be ridiculous, but my eyes aren’t constantly on it.

Hi what’s the real new balance label meant to look like
Just a quality label with all sizes/model number on it also a QR code occasionally
Another inspirational video - when you say you paid £5 on Vinted - is there postage on top?
Yeah usually postage/fees on top. Approx £3.50 usually.
Thanks 😊
Good to keep listings numbers down, but how many do you list a day? Also, what's your average profit per item, please? Has it gone up moving from everything to shoes? Cheers
I’m listing 5 pairs of shoes a day now, average buy price is £13.50 (£10 Vinted buy) for an average sale of £35-40. So after everything, profit sits around £20-25 per item, after all fees/tax. But of course sometimes it’s a higher sale, sometimes it’s lower.
My turnover of stock has massively moved up since going to shoes, my 90 day was around 250 solds 6 months ago, and is now on the 500 mark. So I think it’s the right move for the business right now. Thanks 😊
@@JammyDodgerFlipsThanks for quick & detailed reply! I've always been an 'everything' seller, but niching seems more and more a good idea!
Source 5 a day List 5 a day Sell 5 a day rinse and repeat
How do you snipe on vinted, they don`t do auctions?
No it’s not on auctions. It’s catching the items at under sold prices, buying them within the first few minutes of them being listed.
I see that you promote most of the listings on Ebay. Is it worth it as I've always been a bit worried to do it.
No real answer for proof if worth it or not. I only do the near minimum of 2.1% on all listings - don’t like to give eBay all my money.
Can I ask everyone on here, how many items do I need to list to earn roughly £1000 a month after fees, postage & tax? Thanks
This video shows that you really don’t need much stock. It’s more about the quality. I’d say for a grand a month you could quite easily make that with 50 active listings at any one point. Just try to get the average sale price up.
👍👍
