From using certain hashtags to posing in the clothes we’re trying to sell, there are tons of everyday tricks you can use to increase your sales.

However, there is one little-known trick that some sellers claim works better than the rest.

Some even claim that this allows them to sell their products TWICE as fast, and it doesn’t take any effort at all.

Successful Vinted sellers use the ‘hourglass trick’.

This involves tightening the hips or sides of a top or dress to give the clothing an hourglass figure.

“I swear they sell faster if I do this,” one Vinted user shared on TikTok.

“I throw stuff away twice as fast with the hourglass trick,” claimed another.

There are a few reasons why a simple side scrunch can do wonders for your Vinted sale.

First, the hourglass figure is generally considered flattering because it emphasizes the waist and balances the proportions between the bust and hips.

When potential buyers see clothes in this style, they can better imagine how the clothes will look on them, making the item more attractive.

Many people find it difficult to gauge how a garment will fit their body just by looking at it when it is lying flat.

An hourglass shape can provide a more precise fit, especially with garments that are tight-fitting or constricting.

Secondly, by styling clothing in an hourglass shape, you can emphasize specific features of the garment you want to sell.

This could be a cinched waist, a flared skirt or a tailored fit.

Do I have to pay tax on items I sell on Vinted?

FAST tax facts from the Vinted team…

• The only time an item can be taxable is if it sells for more than £6,000 and there is a profit (sells for more than you paid for it). Even then you can use your £3,000 tax-free capital gains allowance to offset it.
• Generally, only business sellers who trade for profit (buying goods with the intention of selling them for more than they paid for them) are required to pay tax. Business sellers who trade for profit can take advantage of a £1,000 tax-free allowance, which has been in place since 2017.

Third, the hourglass trick can make the item stand out among other offerings that may be presented in a less thoughtful manner.
