Vinted

Last week we filled a cinema for the first screening of Live Better For Less, our new TV show 🍿 A room full of people watching households turn what they have stopped using into what they actually want, and recognising a bit of their own homes on the big screen. Curious what they made of it? The first reviews are below and yours comes next – the series is officially out of the cinema and into the living rooms of Europe.

From user onboarding to detecting and reporting suspicious activity, our Anti-Money Laundering & Risk Operations team works tirelessly to protect Vinted and our members. We sat down with team leaders Akvilė Visockytė and Mantas Mockus to learn more about their work preventing money laundering, fraud, and other financial crimes.

Someone always asks: "where did you get that?" 👀 For one month, we're challenging you to answer: "it's actually second-hand." That’s Second Hand September – Oxfam's campaign, running all month. And Vinted is fully behind it! Kavita’s tip? Head to an Oxfam shop for the find you weren't expecting. Search Vinted for the one you were 💡 Start your Second Hand September now – details in the comments. Then wait for someone to ask where the finds are from.

We believe that the value sitting in our homes belongs on the big screen 📺 Why? Just last year our members put €10.8 billion back into their pockets from selling things they already owned 📦 So we decided to share this across Europe with our new TV series: Live Better for Less. Seven countries, seven local hosts and different households trying to work out what the things they no longer use are worth and what that could pay for.

Ask anyone what clutter is haunting them and watch how fast the answer comes. Too many jackets, too many cables, a box that hasn’t been opened in years. Those answers came from the people who spent months on our newest campaign, surrounded by Clutter Everywhere. Clutter is easy to laugh about and even easier to leave where it is. But last year alone, Vinted sellers earned €10.8 billion by letting go of it. 🤝

Most people own things they’ll never use again: the pile of stuff in the hallway, the cluttered closet, the drawer where anything goes. That feeling of clutter following you is the starting point for our new campaign, “Clutter Everywhere”. A world where unused items become overwhelming, a little absurd, and slightly frightening. Building that world meant filling a set with hundreds of objects nobody had any use for, and the more we added, the more obvious the idea underneath became: none of it needs to stay where it is. Meet the people who brought this campaign to life. 👇

From finding your feet in a new workplace to settling into everyday life in a new culture, moving abroad for work can come with its fair share of challenges.
