Becoming a Vinted Pro seller: what changes, and how to get organised
Vinted Pro is the account for business sellers. It is not a matter of volume but of activity: as soon as you buy in order to resell, you are trading. Here is what Vinted asks for, what the status changes, and what Fripilot takes care of.
Start for free →What Vinted Pro is
An account reserved for businesses: sole traders, non-profit organisations and companies registered in the United Kingdom, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Portugal or Luxembourg. Your profile and listings carry a “Pro” badge, and your business details are shown on your profile.
Vinted describes Vinted Pro as entirely free, with unlimited listings: the platform fee is paid by the buyer at checkout, not by you. You may keep a personal account alongside the Pro one, provided it uses a different email address and phone number; or convert your current account once every order is completed and your wallet has been paid out to your bank account.
Who needs it
The line is not a number of sales but where the items come from. Selling your own things, which you no longer want: you are unlikely to owe tax, and nothing changes. Buying or making goods to sell at a profit: HMRC's guidance says you are likely to be trading, and you will have to pay tax on your profits. That is what makes the Pro account the right one: Vinted asks for your business registration details to open it.
Vinted itself invites you to go Pro if you want to sell in larger quantities rather than simply clear out your wardrobe. And since 1 January 2024, once you reach 30 sales or €2,000 (about £1,700) in a calendar year, the platform reports your figures to HMRC: our page on Vinted and HMRC reporting explains what is sent. A personal account that buys to resell is just as visible.
What the status changes
At sign-up: your business registration details, VAT number if you have one, the legal representative's details, the business address, an identity document and bank details, then an identity and business check (KYC/KYB). Your business name, number, contact details and address appear on your profile; a sole trader can choose to keep them private.
Towards your buyers, you become a trader: a 14-day right to return, counted from the day after delivery (return postage is the buyer's unless you agree to cover it), the legal guarantee of conformity, and an obligation the Vinted Pro terms state in so many words: it is up to you to send the buyer an invoice for the item sold and for any shipping service resold. For a new item, the manufacturer's details and labelling information must be provided. Returns and disputes then follow the process described in our guide to Vinted disputes for sellers.
How Fripilot fits in
The Pro account is also the only one to which Vinted passes the buyer's real address. Fripilot uses it: on every sale, the Vinted invoice is generated with your legal details, numbered without gaps, emailed to the buyer and archived in a register you can download again, identical. Past sales never invoiced can be caught up in batches.
For your return, Fripilot adds up the income actually received per period, cancelled sales excluded: the figure for your Vinted tax return, from the Starter plan. Sales and stock export to Excel for your accountant. And if you keep a personal account next to the Pro one, Fripilot tracks multiple Vinted accounts in the same dashboard, each with its own figures. The Fripilot Connect extension reads your Vinted session read-only: nothing is listed or changed in your shop.

Do I need a registered business to open a Vinted Pro account?
Yes. Vinted Pro is for sole traders, non-profits and companies registered in one of the eight countries where it is available, including the UK. Vinted asks for your business registration details, VAT number if any, the legal representative's details, the business address and an identity document, then runs an identity and business check.
Does Vinted Pro cost anything?
No: Vinted describes it as entirely free, with unlimited listings. The platform fee is paid by the buyer at checkout. Optional services such as promoted listings remain paid, as for a personal account.
Can I keep my personal account?
Yes. Vinted allows one personal account and one Pro account, with a different email address and phone number. You can also convert your current account, but only once every open order is completed and your wallet has been paid out.
Does Fripilot work without a Pro account?
Yes, with a personal account as well as a Pro one, and the bookkeeping is the same. Only the automatic sending of invoices depends on the Pro account: it is the only one to which Vinted passes the buyer's address. On a personal account, the invoice stays in your register.
