How much should I discount an item on Vinted?
How much to discount on Vinted: private seller offers vs a public markdown, minimum earning, and why there is no universal euro or pound amount.
“How much should I take off?” depends on whether the discount is private (one liker) or public (everyone sees the new price), and on what sold comps already pay. There is no official Vinted euro, pound, or zloty that works for every closet.

How to decide the discount amount
- Write down the lowest price you would still ship at (your floor). That is minimum earning for each VintAssist job: Offers, Messages, and Autopilot each have their own.
- Look at sold listings for the same brand, size, and condition — not at other live asking prices.
- For a liker: offer a number between the live price and that floor. Round to something a human would type (€18 not €17.37).
- For the whole shop: if nobody is liking, the public price is the problem. Markdown the listing (Edit) instead of whispering a private offer nobody asked for.
- Skip tiny items where the cut is less than the bother — or exclude them from Autopilot.
Fixed-amount mode in VintAssist (“€3 off everything”) is useful when most of the closet sits in one band. Smart brackets exist when it does not.
How to apply it in Chrome
- Closet → VA → Offers, Messages, or Settings (Autopilot discounts).
- Choose percentage, fixed amount, or smart brackets for that job.
- Set minimum earning. If there is no sendable price for that job (below the floor, no matching smart bracket, or an invalid discount), that listing is skipped — no message and no offer.
- Send a one-off job, or turn on automatic offers.
FAQ
Should I discount £5 or 10%?
Use whichever keeps you above the floor and still looks like a real concession on that price tag. £5 off £8 is huge. £5 off £80 is a nudge.
Will a bigger discount always sell faster?
No. It can look desperate, or train regulars to wait. Try a small timely offer first.
Does VintAssist pick the amount for me?
No. You set the rule. It applies that rule and skips listings below the floor — no message and no offer.
