I made £533 selling my old clothes on Vinted - but I had to learn one horrifying lesson

As the new year is here, many of us will be making resolutions to declutter our homes and embrace a simpler lifestyle. Over the past year, I've been on a similar journey, striving to rid my cupboards of old items that are merely occupying space. One of the primary areas I targeted during my decluttering spree was my wardrobe. I have a bad habit of clinging onto clothes long after I've stopped wearing them - either because I harbour hopes of slimming down enough to fit back into dresses I've owned since my teens, or because I'm sentimentally attached to an item of clothing that's seen better days.
However, with a new baby and space in our terraced house at a premium, it was crucial that I managed to declutter. That's how I discovered Vinted, a second-hand selling app that allows sellers to list their old items and dispatch them without any fees.
The buyer covers all postage and insurance costs, and there's no limit to the quantity you can sell on the app. Over the past year, I've made an impressive £533 by selling my old clothes on Vinted, which provided a much-needed financial boost during my maternity leave.
I'm thrilled with the amount I've earned on the app - but my side hustle almost faltered before it even began, all due to one challenging lesson I had to learn, reports the Liverpool Echo. I initially priced my items on the app based on what I paid for them and what I believed they were worth. However, this was a mistake.
