If you haven’t seen it yet, Vinted has unveiled a new feature for professional sellers: Vinted for Professionals. However, Vinted Pro doesn’t seem to be winning over all second-hand selling professionals at the moment. Nevertheless, it represents a great opportunity for many sellers, allowing them to showcase their items to millions of Vinties across Europe with simple and secure management.
In this article, we’ll guide you step by step on how to convert your standard Vinted account into a professional account and why you should do it today!
How to register as a professional seller on Vinted?
Registering as a professional seller on Vinted is free. You just need to be a non-profit organization or a registered company in France.
If you already have a basic account on Vinted and don’t wish to keep it, you need to log in to the Vinted Pro site and follow the steps to click on “Register Vinted Pro” and provide the following information related to your company to convert this account into a professional account:
- SIRET number (the company identification number assigned by INSEE, consisting of 14 digits)
- VAT number (if your business has one)
- Contact details of the legal representative
- Company address
If the first option doesn’t interest you, you can also open a new professional account on Vinted. In both cases, when you register for Vinted Pro, the verification of your account may take up to 14 days.
