Vinted is one of the most popular secondhand fashion platforms in Belgium, used widely by both Dutch-speaking and French-speaking communities. The platform charges sellers nothing — no listing fee and no commission — making it one of the most cost-effective ways to clear out clothes, shoes, and accessories.
Is Vinted Popular in Belgium?
Yes. Vinted has a large active user base in Belgium, with buyers across both regions — Flanders and Wallonia. The platform operates in both French and Dutch, so you can list in either language and reach buyers nationally. Belgium’s proximity to the Netherlands and France also means your listings can be visible to buyers in those countries, expanding your reach without any extra effort.

Creating a Vinted Account in Belgium
Go to vinted.be or download the app. Register with an email address or via Google or Facebook. Choose your language preference — French or Dutch — and set your location. You will need to verify your identity and link a bank account before you can withdraw earnings.
Vinted uses a buyer protection fee model: buyers pay a small fee (roughly 3–8% of the item price, depending on value) on top of your listed price. You list for free and keep the full price you set.
What Sells Well on Vinted Belgium
Clothes, shoes, bags, and accessories in good condition sell reliably. Belgian buyers respond well to mainstream brands (Zara, H&M, Nike, Adidas) at reasonable prices. Designer and vintage items also sell, though Depop and eBay may reach more specialist buyers for those. Children’s clothing moves particularly fast — parents are comfortable buying secondhand for items that are quickly outgrown.
Listing Your Items
Use clear photos in natural light — front, back, and any details or flaws. Vinted’s app has a built-in camera guide that prompts you to photograph all sides. Write descriptions in the language of your target buyer (French for Wallonia/Brussels, Dutch for Flanders) or in both. Include brand, size, fabric, condition, and any defects.
Pricing: check what similar items have sold for on Vinted by looking at completed listings. Belgian buyers are price-sensitive — slightly below comparable listings gets faster sales. You can also set a make an offer option if you are flexible. For guidance on setting the right price, see our guide to pricing second-hand items.
Shipping From Belgium
Vinted Belgium integrates with Bpost for domestic shipping, with label prices negotiated by the platform. Print the label at home or at a Bpost location, drop off the parcel, and tracking updates automatically for the buyer. Shipping fees are paid by the buyer as part of the checkout process — you do not need to add postage to your price.
For cross-border shipments to the Netherlands or France, Vinted also supports international carriers. Belgian sellers shipping to the Netherlands can use Bpost international or PostNL. Confirm carrier options when listing.
Payment and Withdrawals
Once the buyer confirms the item has arrived as described, the funds are released to your Vinted wallet. You can withdraw to your linked bank account, with transfers typically completing within one to three business days. Vinted holds funds for a short window after delivery to allow for disputes.
Buyer Behaviour in Belgium
Belgian buyers tend to message before purchasing, particularly for higher-value items. Respond promptly and honestly. Offers below your listed price are common — decide in advance how much flexibility you have. Once a buyer commits, they expect fast dispatch (within two to three working days is standard on Vinted).
Tax on Vinted Sales in Belgium
In Belgium, occasional selling of personal possessions is generally not taxable. However, if you sell frequently or buy items specifically to resell for profit, the Belgian tax authority (SPF Finances / FOD Financiën) may treat this as a professional activity subject to income tax and VAT. Vinted reports seller transaction data to tax authorities across the EU under DAC7 rules when reporting thresholds are exceeded. Keep records of what you paid for items versus what you sold them for if you sell regularly.
Vinted Belgium vs Other Belgian Platforms
For clothes, Vinted is the dominant choice in Belgium. 2dehands.be (the Belgian equivalent of Marktplaats) handles furniture and household goods better. Facebook Marketplace is widely used for large local items. For reaching Dutch buyers specifically, cross-posting or listing directly on Vinted Netherlands may be worth considering. For buyers in France, Vinted France runs the same platform.
The zero-seller-fee model is Vinted’s main advantage over eBay for clothes. See our full breakdown of how Vinted’s fees work.
