Vinted sell-through rate: how to measure what actually sells

Vinted shows you asking prices. It does not show you sold prices. So the only honest way to know how fast an item really sells is to watch a set of listings and count the ones that disappear because they sold.

Asking prices are not sold prices

When something sells on Vinted, the listing simply stops appearing. There is no public "sold" archive, no sold-price history, no completed-listings view. That is why every "average Vinted sold price" list you find online is somebody's sample: it is a snapshot of what sellers asked, or a small test of what they observed, not a platform figure.

That gap is the whole problem for a reseller. You can see what people are asking. You cannot see what buyers are paying, or how long a listing sits before it moves.

What "sell-through" means here

Sell-through is the share of the listings you saw that went away because they sold. The word to be careful about is because. On Vinted a listing can vanish for two reasons: it sold, or the seller removed it. Those mean opposite things for your pricing, so a count of "disappeared" listings is not enough.

Sellthru separates the two by opening the item page when a listing it recorded is no longer in the search. The page carries a schema.org Product block, and its availability field is the signal: sold, or gone. Only confirmed sales count toward sell-through.

How to measure it

1. Fix the search. Set brand, category and condition, plus a price range if you want. The narrower and more consistent the search, the more the numbers mean.
2. Press Watch this search. Sellthru remembers every listing that search shows from then on.
3. Let it run. On Pro it re-reads the search every 30 minutes while the browser is open, and records new listings. Free re-reads one search when you ask it to.
4. Count the gone ones. When a recorded listing disappears, Sellthru checks the item page and marks it sold or removed.
5. Read the result. After a few days you have: share gone within 7 days, share gone within 30 days, median days to sell, median sold price.

Why the numbers are split by price band

Cheap items and expensive items do not behave the same, and a single average hides that. Split by band, the pattern is usually the useful part: what actually moves in your category, and where the price stops selling.

Illustration. Your table is built from the searches you watch, not from anyone else's data.

What it cannot tell you

• A watched search only knows the listings that search showed. Items that never appeared in it are not counted.
• It takes time. One day is a snapshot; a week starts to be a pattern.
• A confirmed sale tells you the item sold, not the exact price the buyer paid after any offer. The sold signal is availability, and the price you recorded is the asking price when you last saw it.

Why read-only matters

Tools that relist, bump, message or auto-buy act on your account, and that is what gets accounts restricted. Sellthru only reads pages in your own browser, at a slow fixed pace. You get the numbers without risking the account that makes the money.
