If your Vinted sales are looking a little too flat for your liking, it may be time to give your old listings a little TLC. And the best way to do this without spending a ton of money on marketing is by relisting your old listings that have gone stale and unnoticed. 

Not only will relisting help your items get more visibility, it also opens the door for more sales. Here’s an in-depth guide on the benefits of relisting, and how you can relist on Vinted with a cross listing tool like Crosslist.

Why relist? Benefits of relisting on Vinted

Before we dive in, here’s a quick definition of relisting. Relisting is the process of deleting your old listing and replacing it with a fresher, identical (or updated) listing. 

You’re essentially dusting off the cobwebs from your old and forgotten listings and placing a fresher version of them at the front to give them a boost in their visibility. 

Here are the main benefits of relisting on Vinted:

• Good for SEO: The Vinted algorithm prioritizes newer listings and shows them on the main feed. This helps the platform keep the inventory fresh and entices shoppers to check out Vinted every day. When you relist something, it’s considered to be a new listing, which means it’ll show up on the main feed and at the top of search results.

• Enhanced visibility: Whenever someone filters by “newest listings first,” your relisted items will show up there. Any shoppers who have followed you on Vinted will also get a notification about the new listings. 

• More sales: More eyeballs on your listings translates to more sales. 

After a while, as newer listings from other sellers pop up, people are going to stop seeing or interacting with your old listings. Relisting solves this problem. In short, relisting on Vinted gives your stale listings a new lease on life. 

When to relist on Vinted

When it comes to relisting on Vinted, moderation is key. You need to allow enough time to pass from when you originally posted the listing. We generally recommend that you wait at least 60 days before you relist.

Apart from this, it’s a good idea to relist when:

• Your old listings have gone stale, i.e. the items have remained unsold for months together

• The number of views and interactions with your listings have trickled down to zero

• You have multiple variants of the same product, but a few variants haven’t sold even a single item

• You want to make changes to your listings — either because you feel it could do with a boost, or because you’ve made minor changes to the products you’re selling

• You’re selling seasonal items and want to give them a bump when the seasonal shoppers start coming in

Additionally, if a buyer returns your item after it was already sold, Vinted requires you to upload a new listing for it.

How often can you relist on Vinted

You must be careful to not delist (i.e. delete) and relist the same item multiple times as that goes against Vinted’s terms and conditions. If Vinted catches you doing so, your account may be suspended or permanently blocked. 

Our recommendation for the frequency of relisting is to not relist the same product more than 2-3 times in a year. Besides violating Vinted’s terms, it’s bad for your business as well. 

Think about it this way. If shoppers open Vinted only to see you relisting the same products again and again, they’re going to lose interest. Eventually, they will stop checking out your store, because they will assume that you have no new listings, as per usual. 

Moreover, if you relist the same item 2 or more items and still don’t get any interest, then your problem likely isn’t visibility. It could be something to do with the product itself, or the listing might need a different Vinted marketing approach.

To make sure that you don’t end up accidentally relisting the same products again and again, have a tracking system where you can keep note of the ones that have been relisted. Separate your items into batches or categories (i.e. clothes, shoes, etc.) and relist a single batch at a time. 

Batch relisting manually on Vinted vs. using a tool like Crosslist

Normally, your relisting process would go something like this: you go to Vinted to locate the listing you want to relist, copy all the listing details on a notes app, delete the listing, create a fresh listing, copy all the details back up again, and post. 

While this process is fine for a single listing or two, it’s not really feasible for when you want to relist your items in bulk. And, unless you only sell a handful of items, you probably will be relisting in bulk. 

Relisting in bulk manually will eat up hours of your time and energy, and is prone to errors. 

This is where tools like Crosslist come in. They automate the process, making it easy (and quick) for you to relist in bulk. 

Bottom line: Cross listing tools like Crosslist are lifesavers when it comes to putting your relisting process on autopilot without spending your entire day on it. 

How to relist on Vinted in bulk (with Crosslist) in just 4 easy steps

Okay, first things first. Before you can jump into relisting, you need to delist your existing listings. If you skip this step, Vinted may flag you for having duplicate listings for the same item and remove your products.

When you’re looking to relist in batches, deleting every listing might be time-consuming. But, the good news is that you don’t have to worry about delisting when you use Crosslist. 

That’s right! Our tool automatically deletes your listing before replacing it with a newer listing. 

Here’s how relisting with Crosslist works. 

Step 1: Import your existing inventory to Crosslist

Since the whole relisting process happens inside Crosslist, you need to have a subscription (naturally). So, if you aren’t already a Crosslist user, sign up here. We have affordable monthly plans and offer a 3-day money-back guarantee (as long as you’ve created 20 or fewer listings).

The next order of business is to import your existing Vinted inventory to Crosslist. If your Vinted listings are already within the tool, you can skip ahead to step 2. 

The rest of you: log in and head to your Crosslist dashboard. You’ll see an Import button at the top left corner of the screen. 

Click on it, and you’ll see a pop-up (with a list of all the 11 marketplaces that Crosslist supports) open up on the screen. 

Since we’re going to be bringing in your Vinted listings, select Vinted from the pop-up. 

Crosslist will immediately start syncing your listings, preparing them to be imported. This is indicated by a yellow sync button. This may take a few minutes, especially if you have a large inventory. 

Once the sync process is over, your Vinted listings are ready to be imported to Crosslist. You can do this in one of two different ways:

1. Import your full Vinted inventory to Crosslist at once — regardless of how many listings you currently have

2. Import only specific listings (in batches of up to 100 listings each)

If you have a big inventory and are planning on relisting them all at some point, the first option would be your best option. This way, you won’t have to keep repeating the process of importing your listings every time you want to relist. 

Moreover, Crosslist can import your entire inventory at once (regardless of whether you have 25 listings or 250), so you don’t have any restrictions on the number of listings you can bring in. It also helps to have your inventory in one place in case you want to cross post your listings to other marketplaces. 

On the other hand, if there are a few items that you never plan on selling again, or if you only want to relist seasonal items, the second option might be easier from a convenience standpoint. 

For example, you only want to relist your Christmas-themed items, and don’t want to go through the hassle of searching for them from among your full inventory. 

In this case, you can use Crosslist’s advanced search function to look up and select the listings you want to bring in. If you're doing it in batches, you can toggle the Only show the listings not yet imported button to prevent yourself from accidentally importing the same listings twice. 

After you’ve selected all the listings and are ready to import them, click on the Import button and wait for Crosslist to bring everything in. 

Step 2: Navigate to the listing overview on Crosslist

The listing overview, also known as your dashboard, is where you’ll be able to see all of your listings at a glance. (Note that you’ll only be able to see listings that were created in Crosslist, or were imported to Crosslist.)

Once Crosslist has brought all of your listings in, you can view them here. 

Here’s what the dashboard will show you about your listings:

• Title

• Preview/ cover image

• SKU (if one is available)

• Creation date

• Origin of the listing (whether it was created within Crosslist, or was imported from outside)

• All the marketplaces the listing has been cross posted to

• Listing labels (such as “shoes” for all listings of shoes)

To relist on Vinted, it’ll be easier if you could only view the listings that have been imported from (or) listed on Vinted. 

If you just imported your Vinted listings through step 1, use the Origin tab to only show listings that were imported from Vinted. 

If you were already a Crosslist user, you can filter the Listed on section to only show the listings that have been posted to Vinted. 

💡 Want to update your listings with some fresh information or new product photos? Now is your chance. 

Maybe you want to update your product prices, or add video listings to better highlight the benefits of your items. Either way, click on the listing(s) you want to make edits to, and go ahead on making the changes!

Expert tips:

1. Whether you want to mark down the prices of your listings in bulk to get more sales, or want to mark them up to better reflect the current market, Crosslist lets you carry out this step in bulk. Go to Account Settings → Price Markup and enter a percentage or number on the field next to Vinted. This will make the price change across all of your listings. (Note: Enter a negative number or percentage to mark down your prices.)

2. If you want to make similar kinds of edits to several listings at once, you can use Crosslist’s templates. Create a template with the edit you want to make and apply the template to all of the relevant listings at once. Here’s a guide on editing listings in bulk with Crosslist.

Step 3: Select the listings you want to relist to Vinted

From your listing overview, select all the listings you want to renew. If your plan is to relist your entire inventory at once, just select all by clicking the box at the top of the very first listing. 

If you’re worried about relisting restrictions, you don’t have to be. Crosslist can delist and relist your entire inventory at once. In bulk. Without making your Vinted account look like it was taken over by bots.

Once you’ve selected all the required listings, click on the Bulk post (x) listings button. You’ll find this at the top right corner of the screen. 

You’ll see the pop-up with all the 11 marketplaces again. Select Vinted from the list. 

Step 4: Click the “Relist” button

Now for the final step. On the same pop-up, you’ll see a button called Relist at the bottom. Click on that, and you’re good to go!

Crosslist will now automatically delete your existing Vinted listings and replace them with a newer copy. Any edits you made will be reflected on the relisted versions. 

You don’t have to check and manually make your listings go live on Vinted, either. Crosslist automatically does that, so there’s no more intervention needed from your side. 

Another thing to note is that Crosslist uses a queuing system to distribute your listings in periodic intervals. This prevents Vinted from sounding the alarm bell on your account. Your device also won’t get bogged down, so you’ll be able to continue working on it. 

Relisting a single listing on Vinted

The above method is great for relisting on Vinted — both in bulk and separately. But, if you only want to relist a single listing, there’s a more convenient way. 

1. If the listing doesn’t already exist on Crosslist, import it by following step 1 from above. 

2. Select the specific listing you want to relist from the listing overview. This will open the listing. You’ll be able to see all of the filled-in listing attributes as well as the list of supported marketplaces on the left side of the screen. 

3. Make any edits you might want to by updating the listing attributes. 

4. Select Vinted from the list of marketplaces. 

5. Click on the Relist button at the bottom of the screen. That’s it! Your old listing will be swapped out for a newer version. 

Why Crosslist?

In addition to relisting on Vinted (and the other supported marketplaces) in bulk, Crosslist also lets you create and cross post your listings to all 11 marketplaces simultaneously. 

On Crosslist, you’ll only ever have to fill out a single dynamic form no matter how many marketplaces you want to post your listing to. The universal form contains all the required attributes across all online platforms. All you’ll do is fill out the form, select the marketplaces you want to cross post to, and boom! You’re all done. 

Apart from bulk importing and relisting, you can also edit, delete, and cross post in bulk. 

Unlike other marketplaces that need a lot of manual intervention, Crosslist automatically posts your listings to the relevant platforms. In short, you can cross list it and forget it. 

Crosslist is also super affordable, with quarterly and annual subscriptions offering even more discounts and a greater level of flexibility. And if you run into any issues, our (human, not AI) support team is always available to help.
