Vinted Australia
After years of Australians asking when they could use it, Vinted launches in Australia on 1 July 2026. The European secondhand giant arrives with a national Australia Post shipping partnership and a buying corridor into the United Kingdom. Here is how it works, and how it stacks up against Bushpop and the other options for buying and selling preloved fashion in Australia.
Has Vinted launched in Australia?
Yes. Vinted goes live across Australia on 1 July 2026, after a soft launch in the weeks prior. Founded in Lithuania in 2008, Vinted is Europe's largest secondhand fashion marketplace, and the Australian rollout is backed by a multi-year Australia Post partnership that handles delivery nationwide. The launch also opens a shopping corridor to the UK, so Australian members can browse and buy from British wardrobes.
How Vinted works in Australia
- Free to sell. Vinted charges sellers no listing or selling fees, so your listing price is your payout.
- Buyer-paid fee. Buyers pay a Buyer Protection fee of 5 per cent of the item price plus 70 cents on each purchase.
- Buyer Protection cover. Buyers are covered if an item does not arrive, is damaged in transit, or is significantly not as described, provided they report the issue within two days of delivery.
- Integrated postage. When an item sells, the app generates a prepaid Australia Post label; you drop the parcel at a post office or parcel locker. The rollout is backed by a three-year Australia Post partnership.
- App and web. Create an account, list items with photos and a description, browse and buy directly in the app.
Vinted vs Bushpop
Both Vinted and Bushpop are free to list, and both fund Buyer Protection from a buyer-paid fee, so the honest differences come down to the fee itself, focus and what is on the platform today.
| Bushpop | Vinted Australia | |
|---|---|---|
| Focus | Australian secondhand fashion | Global resale, with an Australia to UK corridor |
| Seller fees | Free to list; 1.75% + 30¢ when it sells | Free to list and sell |
| Buyer fee | 4% of the item price plus 50 cents, free for local pickup | 5% of the item price plus 70 cents |
| Buyer Protection | Yes, on every order, including pickup | Yes, for non-arrival, damage or not-as-described |
| Shipping | Seller posts with tracking via Australia Post or Sendle | Prepaid Australia Post label generated in the app |
| Inventory | Australian wardrobes, listed by locals | Global scale, plus access to UK listings |
| Local sizing help | Australian brand size charts | General international sizing |
At every price point, Bushpop's buyer fee (4% + 50¢) works out lower than Vinted's (5% + 70¢) — the gap is 1% of the item price plus 20¢, in Bushpop's favour, on every order.
The fuller picture behind the table:
- Bushpop is Australian-first. It is built around Australian sellers, Australian brands and local sizing, with brand size charts for labels like Gorman, Country Road and Witchery that an international platform does not prioritise.
- Bushpop has Australian inventory now. Real preloved stock from Australian wardrobes, listed by locals.
- Vinted brings scale and integrated shipping. A huge global user base, the Australia Post label integration and access to UK listings.
There is no single right answer: many sellers will list on both. If you want a local, fashion-focused marketplace with Australian brand guidance, Bushpop is built for exactly that.
Other ways to buy and sell secondhand in Australia
- Depop — strong for vintage and Gen Z fashion; available in Australia, with many international sellers.
- Facebook Marketplace — great for local pickup, but limited buyer protection and not fashion-focused.
- eBay Australia — huge inventory and solid buyer protection; less fashion-led discovery.
- Gumtree — local classifieds, best for pickup and bargains.
Tips for buying secondhand in Australia
- Know your measurements and check a size chart before buying, especially for vintage and international brands.
- Check seller ratings and reviews on platforms that have them.
- Ask about postage and condition before you commit.
