Etsy and Vinted
Vintage on Etsy and Vinted, from one photo
Vintage clothing, bags and accessories have buyers on both: Etsy's shop by era and style, Vinted's by brand and size. VendorSnap lists the same piece on both and keeps one inventory.
Why list on both
Etsy takes resold items only when they are at least 20 years old, so the pair suits true vintage: a 1970s leather jacket, a 1990s band tee, a beaded evening bag. Etsy's buyers search by era and style; Vinted's by brand, size and color, and Vinted charges the seller nothing. The same piece can sit on one and sell on the other.
How VendorSnap keeps them in step
- List on Etsy in one tap through Etsy's API, with the "when made" that makes it vintage.
- List on Vinted from the phone app. Vinted works the same way: VendorSnap fills in Vinted's own form on your phone, through your own Vinted sign-in, and when the item sells somewhere else you tap Take Down and your phone removes the Vinted listing. The size comes from the choices Vinted shows for that category, with up to two colors.
- Sold on Vinted? Mark it sold as Vinted, and the Etsy listing ends in seconds.
- Sold on Etsy? Mark it sold as Etsy, then tap Take Down, and your phone removes the Vinted listing through your own sign-in.
Vinted is in beta in VendorSnap: it lists and takes down listings on Vinted in the United States, from the phone app.
Which one keeps more?
On a $50 piece with $10 shipping, Etsy takes $6.15 before any Offsite Ads. Vinted takes nothing from you; the buyer pays the Buyer Protection fee and the postage. See the Etsy fee calculator and the Vinted fee calculator.

Questions and answers
What if a piece is not old enough for Etsy?
VendorSnap asks when an item was made and holds anything under 20 years old back from Etsy, before it is listed. It can still go on Vinted, eBay and Facebook Marketplace.
Which sizes does VendorSnap use on Vinted?
Vinted's own. VendorSnap shows the size lists Vinted uses for the category you pick, and you choose from them, so the listing matches Vinted's form exactly.
List it everywhere. Sell it anywhere.
One photo prices it, one tap lists it on eBay and Etsy, and a sale anywhere takes it down everywhere else.
