If her daughter's clothes no longer fit, she logs onto the app and makes a profit from them, instead of leaving good quality items hanging in a wardrobe.
But now, Rachael has revealed the key to selling fast on the marketplace app - and it's all in the timing.
According to Rachael, there's a 'prime selling time' that will ensure you get rid of unwanted items and make cash fast.
Not only this, but the brunette also shared which items you should actually be listing.
So if you're eager to make money fast and have a wardrobe full of clothes you never wear, you've come to the right place and will need to take notes.
Posting on social media, Rachael explained that listing items towards the end of the month when most people are getting paid could mean they get snapped up quickly.
Rachael shared her "most popular" Vinted selling tip, which she claimed is 'part of a strategy.'
Holding up a tub of spring and summer clothes, Rachael said she planned to list them all on Vinted that evening, as she acknowledged: 'The bigger picture of me doing this tonight is because it's the 27th, it's near the end of the month and most people are getting paid.
'Believe me, this is prime selling time, so I always make sure I list around these days at the end of each month.'
Rachael acknowledged that as most people get paid around that time, they have the cash to spend, as she added: 'And they will be spending it on Vinted as well.'

The avid seller also offered some other timing tricks that she swears by for best results on the app.
Rachael stressed the importance of uploading clothes that are seasonal in order to maximise sales, as she continued: 'Always think about that when you're listing stuff - make sure it's relative to the time of year and what people are actually looking to buy.'

Rachael also explained that having suitable mailing bags on hand saves both time and money, whilst preventing you from rushing around at the last minute.
She advised: 'The thing I would highly recommend you do if you are a Vinted seller is have mailing bags ready before you list anything so you're organised and prepared.'
The Vinted enthusiast claims that having mailing bags to hand 'saves stress' of knowing what to package items in.
Meanwhile, Rachael urged sellers to post their items quickly, for the simple reason that you'll 'get your money' faster as a result.
New Vinted rules to be aware of
IF you fancy clearing out your wardrobe and getting rid of your old stuff on Vinted, you'll need to consider the new rules that recently came into play.
If people are selling personal items for less than they paid new (which is generally the case for second-hand sales), there is no impact on tax.
However, since January 1, digital platforms, including eBay, Airbnb, Etsy, Amazon and Vinted, must share seller information with HMRC as part of a crackdown.
You're unlikely to be affected if you only sell a handful of second-hand items online each year - generally, only business sellers trading for profit might need to pay tax.
A tax-free allowance of £1,000 has been in place since 2017 for business sellers trading for profit - the only time that an individual personal item might be taxable is if it sells for more than £6,000 and there is a profit from the sale.
However, firms now have to pass on your data to HMRC if you sell 30 or more items a year or earn over £1,700.
It is part of a wider tax crackdown to help ensure that those who boost their income via side hustles pay up what they owe.
While your data won't be shared with HMRC if you earn between £1,000 and £1,700, you'll still need to pay tax as normal.
Not only this, but she claimed that this will also help towards 'positive feedback and good reviews' too.
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @rachshops, has clearly impressed many, as it has quickly racked up 54,000 likes and 1,408 likes.
Meanwhile, one person took to the comments to share their Vinted advice, as they wrote: 'Upload at school pick up time. Mums scrolling in their car.'
To this, Rachael responded and penned: 'That's a good idea, thanks for sharing.'

Grocery watchdog investigates Amazon over late payment to suppliers
The UK grocery watchdog has launched an investigation into Amazon's treatment of suppliers. The Groceries Code Adjudicator (GCA) said it is looking at whether the US-based online retail giant breached rules over payments. The regulator said this will particularly look at delays in paying its suppliers, deductions in commercial negotiations with suppliers and how it manages supplier concerns over these deductions. It comes almost a year after the GCA told Amazon it must take 'swift and comprehensive action' to improve its compliance with industry rules designed to protect suppliers. The GCA oversees Britain's 14 largest grocery retailers – including Tesco, Sainsbury's and Marks & Spencer – to make sure they treat suppliers fairly. It restricts firms from making changes to supply contracts at short notice and also requires retailers to give an appropriate period of notice if they no longer want to use a supplier, and provide reasons for ending the contract. Rules also prohibit late delays in payments from retailers to their suppliers. Adjudicator Mark White said: 'Delays in payment can significantly harm suppliers. 'The alleged delays could expose Amazon suppliers to excessive risk and unexpected costs, potentially affecting their ability to invest and innovate. 'I decided to launch this targeted investigation based on the range of evidence I have seen from multiple sources.' He called on suppliers and to provide evidence about their experiences dealing with Amazon. The GCA added that its has received information about 'other issues at Amazon', but provided no further detail about this. An Amazon spokesman said: 'Amazon takes the Groceries Supply Code of Practice incredibly seriously and we will co-operate fully with the adjudicator as he carries out his investigation. 'While we are disappointed with this decision, we welcome the opportunity to further demonstrate our ongoing compliance with this particular section of the code. 'We have already made significant improvements to our grocery supplier experience, including to payment practices, with supplier contacts on this reducing falling year-on-year. 'We will continue to listen and work with our grocery suppliers as we roll out further changes.'

Nigerian communities set to have oil pollution High Court claims tried in 2027
Members of the Bille and Ogale communities in the Niger Delta, which have a combined population of around 50,000, are suing Shell plc and a Nigerian-based subsidiary of the company, the Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria, which is now the Renaissance Africa Energy Company. The two communities began legal action in 2015, claiming they have suffered systemic and ongoing oil pollution for years due to the companies' operations in the African country, including pollution of drinking water. They are seeking compensation and asking for the companies to clean up the damage caused by the spills. The companies are defending the claims, saying that the majority of spills are caused by criminal acts of third parties or illegal oil refining, for which they are not liable. On Friday, Mrs Justice May ruled on more than 20 preliminary issues in the claims, following a hearing held in London over four weeks in February and March. She said that 'some 85 spills have, so far, been identified', but added that the case was 'still at a very early stage'. Her findings included that Shell could be sued for damage from pipeline spills caused by third parties, such as vandals, in efforts to steal oil, a process known as bunkering. She also said that while there was a five-year limitation period on bringing legal claims, a 'new cause of action will arise each day that oil remains' on land affected by the spills. The cases are due to be tried over four months, starting in March 2027. Reacting to the ruling, the leader of the Ogale community, King Bebe Okpabi, said: 'It has been 10 years now since we started this case, we hope that now Shell will stop these shenanigans and sit down with us to sort this out. 'People in Ogale are dying; Shell need to bring a remedy. 'We thank the judicial system of the UK for this judgment.' Matthew Renishaw, international development partner at law firm Leigh Day, which represents the claimants, said: 'This outcome opens the door to Shell being held responsible for their legacy pollution as well as their negligence in failing to take reasonable steps to prevent pollution from oil theft or local refining.' He continued: 'Our clients reiterate, as they have repeatedly for 10 years, that they simply want Shell to clean up their pollution and compensate them for their loss of livelihood. 'It is high time that Shell stop their legal filibuster and do the right thing.' A Shell spokesperson said that the company welcomed the judgment. They said: 'For many years, the vast majority of spills in the Niger Delta have been caused by third parties acting unlawfully, such as oil thieves who drill holes in pipelines, or saboteurs. 'This criminality is the cause of the majority of spills in the Bille and Ogale claims, and we maintain that Shell is not liable for the criminal acts of third parties or illegal refining. 'These challenges are managed by a joint venture which Shell's former subsidiary operated, using its expertise in spill response and clean-up. 'The spills referenced in this litigation were cleaned up by the joint venture regardless of the cause, as required by Nigerian law, working closely with government-owned partner NNPC Ltd, Nigerian government agencies and local communities. 'Clean-up certificates were issued by the Nigerian regulator NOSDRA.' The High Court and the Court of Appeal ruled in 2017 and 2018, respectively, that there was no arguable case that Shell owed the claimants a duty of care, but the Supreme Court ruled in 2021 that there was a 'real issue to be tried'.
