Vinted Wallet: how it works
Vinted Wallet is a secure e-wallet where the seller:
- Receives all earnings from sold items
- Can pay from it to buy on Vinted
- Can withdraw their money from it to their bank account
You don’t need to use Vinted Wallet to buy on Vinted. We offer other payment methods too. You also cannot top it up — it’s only there to store earnings.
- Buyer pays for an item → Payment appears under 'pending balance' in the seller's Vinted Wallet
- Buyer has 2 days from being notified by Vinted that the item should have been delivered or that the order seems lost to confirm if “Everything is OK” with the order, or press “I have an issue” and submit their claim.
- If Everything is OK or if an issue is raised and resolved, Order is completed → Payment moves from “Pending balance” to “Available balance”.
- Once the payment is available in the seller’s balance, the seller can:
-
- Use it to make purchases on Vinted
- Make a withdrawal to a bank account
Our payment service provider Adyen will delay the transfer of funds to the seller. Such delays are a common practice in online marketplaces.
This ensures that the buyer receives the purchased item. If something goes wrong, we may refund the buyer (though you can mutually agree on a different resolution). So, it helps us keep Vinted safe and secure for both buyers and sellers.
Adyen, N.V. is a federally-licensed branch of a foreign bank. It provides and manages Vinted Wallet for us as a financial service.

This way, we’re not involved in handling or holding your money. We leave it to the professionals who do it safely.
