Does MerchVice have selling fees?

Does anything get bumped above my items?

MerchVice vs Vinted

Vinted sells the shirt. MerchVice keeps it: on its band's page, in your closet, with its tag dated and its story told, for as long as you own it.

Checked October 2026. Every fact about Vinted here comes from its own help, fees and terms pages, each with its source and the day we read it.

The short answer

Vinted makes selling clothes simple: no selling fee, a prepaid label, and a refund if a purchase goes wrong.
MerchVice is built for the merch and the people who love the band: a closet for what you keep as well as what you sell, pages for every band and design, trades between fans, and a feed with nothing bumped above the rest.
Use both. Sell there when you want to; request your Vinted data and bring your listed items, photos included, into your closet here.

Side by side

What matters	MerchVice	Vinted
Built for band merch	MerchViceYes Every page is about band merch: shirts, posters, records, pins and patches.	VintedNo A marketplace for pre-loved clothes, with millions of members. A band shirt is one listing in a very big wardrobe. Source
Find by band, tour and year	MerchViceYes Band pages, design pages, decade filters and shows, so a shirt finds its tour and its year.	VintedNo Search by keyword and general filters like brand and size. No band, tour or year. Source
A closet for what you keep, and a Top 8	MerchViceYes Post what you own to show it off, not only to sell, and pick a Top 8 for your profile.	VintedNo Your wardrobe there is what's for sale. Nothing holds the items you're keeping, and there's no Top 8. Source
Trading, item for item	MerchVicePartly Mark an item Open to trade today. The trade itself, with the item moving to its new owner, is coming.	VintedNo Buying and selling through Buy now. No item-for-item trade. Source
Date your shirt's tag	MerchViceYes Free: photograph the tag and get its era, with the sources, whether you join or not.	Vinted Nothing on its own pages says either way.
Free to show off and trade	MerchViceYes Free to show off and trade. Selling is coming, with one flat fee shown before you list.	VintedPartly No selling fee. Buyers pay the Vinted fee at checkout, usually 5% plus $0.70. Source
Newest first, nothing ranked	MerchViceYes Newest first, for everyone who follows you. Nothing is ranked and nothing is paid to rank.	VintedNo Search ranks listings by relevance to your words and to you; the feed weighs your filters, recency and what you've touched. Source
No ads in the feed	MerchViceYes Nothing in the feed. Anything promoted sits beside it and says so.	VintedNo A Bump is paid to sit higher in members' feeds and search for 3 or 7 days. Source
Buying new from the band	MerchViceYes Bands claim their page free and put their official merch and store links on top.	VintedNo Vinted Pro is for businesses selling high volumes of second-hand items, not a band's new merch. Source
Following bands	MerchViceYes Follow bands, members and tags, and hear when they add new merch.	VintedYes Follow a member and you hear about their new uploads and see them in your feed. Source
Taking your data with you	MerchViceYes Download everything you posted from Settings, any time, as files you can open.	VintedYes Settings, then Privacy settings, Manage account data, Request data: a ZIP with your listed items and photos. Source

Where Vinted is better

No fees for uploading or selling: you receive the full selling price. Source
Buyers cover shipping, so your label is already paid for. Source
A refund if a purchase is lost, damaged or significantly not as described. Source
Offers up to 40% below the price, and the item stays open until someone pays. Source

Use both

Nobody is asking you to leave Vinted. Bring your items here as well, so they have a home that is about the music.

Tap your profile icon, then Settings, Privacy settings, Manage account data and Request data, and confirm through the emailed link (it expires in 24 hours). The ZIP holds your listed items and photos. Upload it in Imports here, still zipped, and your items come over with your photos once you say they're yours. Source
