Vinted Pro has officially launched in the UK, offering a new way for sellers to operate professionally on the platform. If you’re a frequent seller or running a reselling business, it’s worth understanding what Vinted Pro is, how it works, and whether it’s right for you.
What Is Vinted Pro?
Vinted Pro is a free professional seller account designed for individuals or businesses that treat their Vinted activity as more than just casual selling. With Pro status, sellers gain access to features that align with UK consumer protection laws, including returns, invoicing, and business transparency.
It is intended for users who sell regularly, operate as a sole trader, or run a small business. As a Vinted Pro seller, you are expected to provide a higher standard of service, including honouring buyer returns and maintaining accurate business records.
Who Should Sign Up for Vinted Pro?
Vinted Pro is suitable for:
- High-volume sellers who list frequently
- Resellers operating as a business
- Sole traders or side hustlers who want to stay tax compliant
- Sellers who require invoicing capabilities
- Anyone looking to build a trusted and professional online presence
To sign up, you’ll need to provide some business information, such as your National Insurance Number or Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR).
If you’re only selling occasionally or clearing out personal items, a standard account will suffice.

Drawbacks of Vinted Pro
Increased Admin
You’ll be required to handle returns, issue invoices, and maintain clearer business records.
Public Business Details
Your business name and other details may be visible to buyers. This has raised privacy concerns for some users.
Returns Requirement
Buyers have the right to return items within 14 days, which may result in additional costs or stock management issues.
Technical and Privacy Concerns
Early adopters raised concerns about data visibility, such as National Insurance numbers being displayed. Vinted has since addressed these issues, but it’s something to be mindful of.
Is Vinted Pro Worth It?
Vinted Pro is ideal if:
- You run a small resale business or sell at high volume
- You need to issue invoices and want legal clarity
- You’re aiming for long-term income on the platform
- You want to appear more trustworthy and professional to buyers
Vinted Pro may not be necessary if:
- You only sell occasionally
- You prefer privacy and minimal admin
- You’re not ready to handle returns and business obligations
Final Thoughts
Vinted Pro is a valuable addition to the platform, especially for sellers looking to professionalise their operations. With the ability to issue invoices, offer returns, and gain trust through the Pro badge, it opens up new opportunities for serious resellers.
However, it also comes with responsibilities. If you’re treating Vinted as a business or scaling up your side hustle, Vinted Pro could be the next logical step. For casual users, the standard account remains the best option.
