'They don't know the value of the clothing. What I mean by this is people who have very clearly just started out on Vinted, they've got a couple of reviews and they're just clearing out their old clothing - they don't do their research about the products that they're selling and it means that they are selling tops that are worth probably £20 plus, for £3.50.'
Not only this, but Chloe, who
Not only is Jane Norman, Etam, Together, Wet Seal, Oasis and Morgan selling well, but she also acknowledged that old items from New Look, Lipsy, Per Una, Marks & Spencer, Miss Selfridge and River Island will sell quickly too.
Additionally, she recognised that items from brands including Vintage Dressing, Playboy, Krisp, Monsoon, E-Vie and Principles are also proving popular.

Do you need to pay tax on items sold on Vinted?
QUICK facts on tax from the team at Vinted...
The only time that an item might be taxable is if it sells for more than £6,000 and there is profit (sells for more than you paid for it). Even then, you can use your capital gains tax-free allowance of £3,000 to offset it.
Generally, only business sellers trading for profit (buying goods with the purpose of selling for more than they paid for them) might need to pay tax. Business sellers who trade for profit can use a tax-free allowance of £1,000, which has been in place since 2017.

'Specifically old New Look, Jane Norman, that sort of stuff is becoming really popular on Vinted now.
'So if you are clearing out your old wardrobe, make sure you are looking and just double checking what your items are worth, because I'm seeing not many people do research and it means you're losing out on money.'
There are some brands that were popular back then that are so popular on Vinted now and I see people uploading clothing items from this sort of era and they aren't priced high enough

Why I hate Vinted, a real-life view
Fabulous Associate Editor Sarah Barns opens up on why she hates Vinted:
It's the king of second-hand fashion but I hate Vinted.
There I said it. Yes, it stops items going into landfill. Yes, it helps create additional side-hustle income for many.
And yes, you can get things at bargain prices. But it is just not my (shopping) bag.
From personal experience, I've bought 'cheap' bundles of children's clothes only for them to arrive dirty and misshapen.
Plus, with postage and buyer protection they didn't feel like such a great deal. I much prefer going to my local charity shop or supermarket for kids' stuff.
I've also bought more premium high-street items - a dress from Arket and a skirt from Cos - only to find they didn't fit properly and the colours were faded.
I attempted a bout of selling stuff but gave up after my £110 Veja trainers got lost in the post and I spent two hours on the phone to Royal Mail.
A major gripe with it is that it still encourages you to spend, spend, spend. I'm not sure I needed the items I did purchase, I just didn't want to miss out.
Also, the reselling of fast-fashion items - a £5 Shein top on Vinted for £17.50 - makes me feel a bit queasy.
Clothes shopping has become a daily hobby for a lot of people when really it should be something that's done once or twice a year as a necessity.
But the 18 million Vinted app users clearly disagree with me.
To this, Chloe replied and confirmed: 'Yep! They go sooooo fast at that price!'
Meanwhile, another added: 'I have found so many of my camis from the 2000s but I've cut tags out and can't remember where they're from.'
In response, Chloe wrote back and suggested: 'Just put the brand as 'vintage'!! Then write in the description that you cut the tags out but they are

How secure is your banking app?
Mobile banking is one of the most popular internet activities in Ireland. During the first six months of last year, 87% of internet users used internet banking or mobile banking, according to the Central Statistics Office. This trend tells us that many people now use their phones to manage their accounts and make payments. But fraudulent payments are a growing concern in Europe, especially in the rapidly evolving digital marketplace. Earlier this year, the Central Bank of Ireland published a new Behind the Data (BTD) paper on Irish payment fraud statistics. However, there are no stats to identify how many scams or frauds happen specially through interactions with apps. Head of Financial Crime with Banking and Payments Federation Ireland (BPFI) Niamh Davenport warns that app scams usually happen because a phone or device has been hacked. "Everyone thinks they're banking app scams, it's generally your phone that has been compromised rather than the app itself," said Ms Davenport. "Summer last year is probably the first time we really saw app scams come into force and they're still low volume in Ireland from what members are telling us, but they're only going to increase," she said. In March, the BPFI hosted the first Cross-Sector Anti-Fraud Forum which was established as a key action under the Department of Finance's National Payments Strategy. BPFI will chair the Forum for the initial period of two and half years and work with industry partners, the Government and An Garda Siochana to ensure a robust framework for fraud prevention, detection, and disruption. How secure are banking apps? Biometric logins, such as facial recognition, are becoming increasingly common within mobile banking apps to ensure they are secure. Our banking apps are "in general" secure, according to independent expert and Chief Technical Officer at Wayne Morgan. "Most banking apps have to undergo diligent tests and ongoing tests for the security vulnerabilities. So, in general, yes, I would say banking apps are secure," said Mr Morgan. He advises users to adopt a trust nothing and check everything attitude when it comes to keeping your personal information safe. "Cyber security and your approach to security starts the moment you sit in a chair or turn on your device," said Mr Morgan. "It's not good enough to action after the fact, you have to be diligent from the moment you pick up your device," he said. What are the main risks of banking apps as a consumer? They include phishing attacks, malware, fake apps or rogue apps or spoof apps; people reusing credentials in their banking that they would use in multiple other places; and man in the middle attack (MITM). MITM attackers sometimes create their own malicious public wifi networks to lure unsuspecting users and harvest their personal data. The attacker places themselves between a user and the app or website to eavesdrop on the communication. This can be done through a piece of software installed on a phone, tablet or computer and the attackers uses it to steal or manipulate information. This is why it is important not to use the same password for multiple accounts, as it makes it easier for attackers to compile more of your personal information. "People have a habit of using a password that's easy to remember. It could be a family member's name, an anniversary, the name of a pet," said Mr Morgan. "They will reuse that password across the spread of their apps, it could be their Facebook or Instagram, their banking, it could be many, many things, and reusing the password is definitely something we would advise against." Is technology or human error more susceptible to fraudsters? Typically, human error is the main path to a breach. Phishing and smishing are the most common attacks used by fraudsters to socially engineer customers into giving away their credentials. When downloading any apps, consumers should only use the official Apple and Android app stores. BPFI's Niamh Davenport warns that fraudsters are targeting people directly, and consumers need to take extra steps to check the legitimacy of an app. "We just click on things so quickly or we trust information that's put in front of us so easily. Irish people would have questioned everything, and I think we've just become a very trusting nation and just take everything at face value on particular when it comes to social media," she said. In an effort to tackle text scams the Communications Regulator has developed an SMS Sender ID system. From 3 July this year, unregistered SMS Sender IDs will be modified to "Likely Scam" to alert the recipient to be cautious of the content of those text messages. While from 3 October 2025, text messages from unregistered SMS Sender IDs will be blocked. What happens if you download a fake banking app? Fraudsters can trick people into sharing their logins and sensitive financial information with fake banking apps that imitate legitimate mobile banking. However, any fake app that is downloaded inadvertently through unofficial links or phishing websites poses a threat to the security of your information. And the fraudsters can play the long game, as you will have no idea that they have access to your phone or device. By installing an app from an untrusted source, there is the same risk as an email breach. The hackers can install a Trojan piece of software, and somebody will be sitting with full uninterrupted access to the device; and they'll just sit there. "It could be for days, for weeks, months, monitoring the traffic, waiting for the opportunity of you to use your banking app and enter your password," said Mr Morgan. "If you have two factor authentication, they will be sitting there waiting for the access code or token from your two-factor authentication session to go across," he said. "They would then use that token to gain access to your banking app. These things are a long game, they're not necessarily good in the short term, so diligence over time is critical," he explained. If a device is hacked in this way, deleting the fake app is unlikely to solve the problem. The initial piece of Trojan software that was installed is likely to install something else in the background such as a port or access path to a third party to access the device and the user's information. How are the banks in Ireland working to protect banking app customers? The EU is working on a new legislative framework the Payment Services Regulation (PSR) as well as a third Payment Services Directive (PSD). Both aim to modernise payment services, enhance consumer protection, and promote competition in the payments market. Banks in Ireland are not automatically liable for losses due to scams, but it is likely they will investigate the incident and could potentially refund the customer. This will depend on the type of scam or unauthorised payment, if the customer promptly reported the incident and a bank's own policy regarding scam refunds. Banks also have a range of security measures from the app itself being security protected, to one of the bigger ones which is transaction monitoring and its own internal systems. Here is a look at six of the top banking apps used in Ireland. AIB said its mobile banking service provides the highest level of industry standard security. The bank has 2.2 million active users on its digital channels and said it is continuously making significant investments to enhance its fraud monitoring systems. In the bank's 2024-2026 strategic update it included spending of around €300m per year period to ensure a "future fit" platform, but did not give a specific breakdown on spending on the app. AIB Head of Financial Crime, Mary McHale, noted the ongoing investment is to enhance cyber security protection and broaden the range of mobile payments capability, while adhering to new and emerging regulation. "We released 'Selfie Check' which uses facial biometrics to verify a customer's identity via our AIB Mobile app, using the latest technology to recognise the things that make a customer's face unique, so we know it's you in control of your money", Ms McHale said. "In the event of a customer mislaying their card, they can put a temporary freeze on it through the mobile app, on our internet banking service, or through the kiosk in our branch. There is the ability to unfreeze the card if found, which can then be used again as normal," she said. AIB said it cannot comment on individual customer cases, however it noted that when a customer initiates and authorises a payment that they later realise was fraudulent, they advise them to report it to the Gardaí and to them as soon as possible to give them the best chance of retrieving the payment. It added that once a fraudulent payment is reported to them, they can then report the fraud to the receiving bank and request for the funds to be returned, unfortunately in some cases it may be too late. Revolut Digital finance Provider Revolut is a fully licensed bank in 30 EEA countries, including Ireland where it has three million customers. It is authorised by the European Central Bank and regulated by the Bank of Lithuania. Revolut said that in 2024 alone it prevented approximately €750m in potential fraud against its customers. It said it continually enhances the app's security features, this year launching in-app calls to help customers quickly expose impersonation scams, as well as implementing real-time AI fraud detection systems, transaction limits, biometric authentication requirements, and providing educational resources to help consumers remain informed about potential risks. The Revolut app security features include strict identity checks, biometric security, a dedicated control centre where customers can personalise their security settings across more than 10 features, complete card control (a customer's physical card must be activated in their app), Wealth Protection (an additional layer of biometric security), in-app calls, and 24/7 customer support. A Revolut spokesperson said: "Our financial crime experts, who now make up more than a third of our 10,000-strong workforce, are continuously innovating to stay one step ahead of scammers, implementing real-time AI fraud detection systems, transaction limits, biometric authentication requirements, and providing educational resources. This thereby ensures that our customers are increasingly less exposed to the industry-wide risk of fraud." Bank of Ireland Bank of Ireland said the standard for security measures is set by the PSD 2 Regulation and the regulatory technical standards. A dedicated team of around 200 people are employed by the bank to work 24/7 to address fraud attempts. Last year Bank of Ireland announced an investment of €50m in customer fraud prevention and protection, with €15m specifically allocated to new fraud prevention technology. The investment includes implementing voice biometric technology and enhancing self-service features on the mobile app. The bank operates device monitoring with a range fraud measures across the Bank of Ireland app and online channels, including fraud detection tools across customer activity, payment limits, effective warnings, strong customer authentication, in-channel messaging, and push notifications. Head of Fraud at Bank of Ireland, Nicola Sadlier, said where they have a suspicion, they will reach out to a customer by text or phone call. "Essentially that team is working 24/7 to manage alerts, reach out to customers and attempt to stop any fraud either on our channel or whether a customer's being caught up unknown to themselves," she said. If an app scam is reported the bank will investigate fully and report it to the Gardai unless the customer has already done so. Bank of Ireland said it may have to get on to beneficiary banks to look to recover funds and will keep customers informed at all stages of the investigation. As member of the BPFI working groups, industry forums, and the Cyber Defence Alliance, Ms Sadlier said understanding what other banks are experiencing is a key focus area. "The UK often start experiencing fraud attacks ahead of us, it's really important that we share trend information and learn what's happening and to get ready and respond," she said. An Post An Post is continually focused on ensuring that its An Post Money app is secure by constantly enhancing it based on market intelligence and its own fraud experiences and systems monitoring. Product Management Consultant at An Post, Bruce Richardson, said they have not seen a rise in app fraud among its customers. He credits this with An Post's back-end security measures and educating customers, including the Fraud "Stop & Think" notifications in the app. "The weakest point is the customer because we're socially engineered to believe if somebody phones you and says they're from the fraud department or whoever it might be, we're socially conditioned to accept that," said Mr Richardson. "Also the fraudsters have become more clever about how they do it, people think they're going to phone up and ask for your bank details but they've already done that they already have your information, they're only looking normally for that verification code that will be sent to your mobile device and that's the piece that they really want," he stated. One feature that An Post credits with being instrumental in protecting customers is its Dynamic CVV. This is a security feature that replaces the static three-digit CVV number on the back of your debit card with a new, one-time-use code generated within the An Post Money app for each online purchase. This measure makes the CVV number useless to fraudsters after it's been used. "The fraudsters buy databases of card details off the dark web but the key piece that they don't have then is the CVV, and then because it changes every five minutes on the app it has been a key part for us to help curtail the fraudulent activity from a numbers perspective, he added. N26 German online bank N26 operates primarily through a mobile app and is a fully licenced digital bank. It is in operation in multiple countries across Europe, including Ireland. Governed by the same regulations as all traditional banks, N26 adheres to strict regulations on security, compliance, and financial crime prevention. It said it uses state-of-the-art systems to ensure its app is highly secure, to stay ahead of fraudsters and eliminate possible human error. The key security processes it uses are the "Know-Your-Customer" process which verifies a customer's identity and confirms that they are who they claim to be. N26 also carries out ongoing transaction monitoring to detect suspicious activity, and reauthentication which protects against identity and password theft. The secure features include but are not limited to a single paired device, two factor authentication, fingerprint and facial recognition, instant notifications, in-app card locking and pin change, location tracking and smart payment blocks The current trends the digital bank has identified in the last two years following reports by N26users in Europe are: - Authorised Push Payment (APP) fraud, where malicious actors convince victims to authorize payments themselves - digital wallet fraud, where criminals link users' cards to wallets to make unauthorised transactions - marketplace scams - where fraudsters entice customers with attractive offers for goods that never are received - postal fraud - which typically contain phishing messages to obtain sensitive customer information PTSB PTSB said it has robust security and fraud protection features in-built in its app to provide customers with a safe and convenient channel to meet their banking needs on the go. In a global banking first, the bank introduced "PTSB Protect", a feature to its mobile app which helps prevent customers falling victim to fraudulent scams and is continuously investing in this feature. PTSB Protect alerts customers if they receive a text message containing a fraudulent link or block them from accessing a suspicious website on their mobile device. It compares links received or accessed on a customer's phone against a known blocklist of links which pose as legitimate websites to deceptively obtain a customer's personal or banking details. Where a link matches an entry on the blocklist – which is maintained and updated daily by the bank – the website will either be blocked or an alert will be sent to the customer. The bank's dedicated fraud team carries out 24/7/365 real-time fraud monitoring of all app activity and transactions and provides 24/7/365 Agent support. A PTSB spokesperson said: "We have invested, and continue to invest, significantly in security and fraud prevention and detection across all our channels, including our mobile app and desktop banking services". "This includes the 'PTSB Protect; feature on our mobile app which has supported a 64% reduction in customer account exposure year on year," the spokesperson said. "As fraudsters are becoming more sophisticated, we communicate with our customers on an ongoing basis on how to avoid fraud and scams across all of our channels, in addition to our participation in the banking industry's FraudSMART programme," the spokesperson added.

I'm a Vinted expert, my four easy tips will instantly boost your sales and why pricing lower will mean you earn more
SUMMER can be an expensive time of year whether you have holidays to pay for or are trying to keep the kids entertained while they're off school. Vinted can be a great way to make extra cash but with thousands of listings on the reselling app it can be difficult to get yourself noticed. Advertisement 1 Faye Oakenfull reveals her four top tips for boosting Vinted sales Credit: AFP However, Faye Oakenfull, marketing director at Centra, has revealed how to make your listings stand out. She says focusing on quality listings and smart pricing can transform casual decluttering into a profitable side business. Quality photography matters "Quality photos are the foundation of successful listings," Oakenfull explains. "Natural light works best for capturing true colours and details that buyers want to see." Use a plain background to avoid distractions, and photograph items from multiple angles – front, back, close-ups of details, and any flaws. This not only gives buyers a better view of the product but also helps build trust. Advertisement Read More on Vinted When it comes to how you present your items, the expert says the choice between trying them on or laying them flat depends on both the garment and your personal comfort. Modelling the item can help potential buyers visualise fit and drape, especially with structured pieces like coats, dresses, or trousers, but laying items flat – or neatly hanging them – can still be highly effective when done with care and good lighting. A strong middle ground is hanging items on a hanger. This allows for clean, consistent photos without the need to model, while still showing shape and length clearly. "Consistency in your photo style across listings can also help create a cohesive and trustworthy seller profile,' she adds. Advertisement Most read in Fabulous Exclusive 'If you can, avoid using flash, and try to take your photos during daylight hours to give your items a natural, true-to-life appearance.' I've made £18k on Vinted - my clever tip means your photos will stand out Strategic pricing boosts visibility Vinted's statistics show that competitive pricing strategies are flourishing, as there has been an increase in algorithmic visibility for well-priced items. This may be due to recent high competition and increased platform usage encouraging sellers to ask for reasonable prices. "Before listing an item, search for similar products that have sold recently," Faye advises. Advertisement "Position yourself just below comparable listings to attract more views." Pricing just a little lower than similar active listings can improve your chances of being featured higher in search results. Consider the condition of your item too – new with tags items can command higher prices, but gently used ones should be priced accordingly. Keep track of how long items stay listed; if something hasn't sold in a few weeks, adjusting your price even slightly could refresh visibility and drive interest. Detailed descriptions drive sales Providing detailed descriptions is an effective way of increasing your chances of conversion. Advertisement The increase of keyword usage and the inclusion of measurements contribute to this improvement, alongside the reduction in customer questions regarding the listing. "Be thorough about size, condition, and materials in your descriptions. Include measurements rather than just size labels since sizing varies between brands," Faye suggests. Well-crafted descriptions not only help with searchability but also reduce the number of queries from potential buyers, saving you time. Mention the fit (tight, loose, oversized), washing instructions, or any brand-specific quirks. Use clear, searchable terms like 'Zara midi dress' or 'Nike Air Force 1 UK 7' rather than vague titles. The more transparent and accurate your listing, the more confident shoppers feel clicking 'Buy.' Advertisement You can also add other relevant details to your listings. For instance, if you're selling a fair number of items, you could mention that you're having a clear-out – this can encourage people to browse your wardrobe. Bundle discounts increase total value UK bundle discount sales continue to be on the rise – and it's no surprise. Everyone enjoys a good deal, especially at a time when the cost of living and inflation are steadily increasing. UNDERSTANDING TAX IMPLICATIONS According to HMRC guidance, there is no new tax rule for people selling unwanted items online. But you may need to register for Self Assessment and pay tax if you buy goods for resale with the intention of selling them for profit and generate total income exceeding £1,000 before expenses in any tax year. In other words, anyone buying items specifically to resell them may be subject to tax, while personal decluttering remains tax-free. How you acquire your items matters, because personal possessions and purchased inventory are taxed at different rates. "If you're buying stock to resell, track all your expenses including packaging, postage, and the original cost of items," Oakenfull advises. "These can be deducted from your profits when calculating any potential tax liability." The key is knowing the difference between casual selling and running a small business, and planning accordingly. Shoppers are becoming more conscious of value and even more likely to take advantage of savings where they can. "Offering percentage discounts on multiple purchases is a satisfying way to increase your overall sales value while saving on shipping costs," she notes. Advertisement Bundling encourages customers to buy more at once, especially when they're already browsing your wardrobe. Set up automated discounts – such as 10% off two or more items – and mention this in your bio or item descriptions to catch attention. It not only increases average order value, but also reduces the time and materials spent on packaging and postage.

I work at Costa – the five annoying things people always do – please stop ordering whilst on your phone for starters
A WOMAN who works as a barista in Costa has revealed the most annoying traits of customers. Lauren Taylor, from the UK, took to social media to inform people about what they shouldn't do when ordering a coffee. Advertisement 2 A Costa barista has revealed the worst things customers do to them Credit: Getty - Contributor 2 Lauren Taylor didn't hold back Credit: tiktok/@laurenjtaylor The first annoying thing many customers do is simply forget their manners. Lauren will greet customers with a 'hello' but instead of saying it back, many bark their drink order at her. "A simple hello goes a long way," she reminded them. Another grievance of Lauren's was that customers would not pick a size for their drink, instead insisting they wanted a 'normal' size. Advertisement READ MORE ON JOBS She urged them to simply look at the available sizes and pick one. The barista was also fed up with customers thinking she was a mind reader when it came to what coffee they wanted. Many would ask for 'just a coffee' despite having twenty different ones to choose from Lauren would often suggest a classic Americano with milk, but would be corrected by the customer that they wanted a latte. Advertisement Most read in Fabulous The barista was often stuck calling out the coffee order to the customer standing in front of them with no reply in return. She said it seems like customers often forget what they ordered or choose to blatantly ignore her. Huge coffee chain with over 1,300 shops to close high street shop Last but not least, Lauren was sick of customers ordering their coffee while being busy on the phone. Not only was it rude, but customers often order the wrong drink as they're preoccupied and then blame the barista. Advertisement "Somehow, this is still my fault," she said. The video has since gone viral on her TikTok account @ Costa Coffee loyalty scheme perks COSTA Club members can get early access to new menus among other perks. To join download the Costa Coffee app, it's free to download via the Apple app store or Google Play store. Stamps can be collected in any of the chain's 2,800 coffee shops, as well as around 12,000 machines in petrol stations and convenience stores. You can get stamps for spending in store and using a reusable cup. You get a free drink after collecting ten stamps, or beans as they are called. For a small latte, at £3.50, it's £35 to get a free coffee. Those going to a Costa store can earn an additional bean with a reusable cup, so that cuts the outlay down to £17.50 or buying five coffees. How it works: 1 drink purchased = 1 bean, 10 beans = free drink Small latte cost: £3.50 Number of drinks to hit target: 10 Cost for a 'free' coffee: £35 Reusable cup bonus: Yes, one extra bean You also get free cake on your birthday. Plenty of people who work in hospitality took to the comments, sharing their own stories. One person wrote: "I work at Greggs and I feel your pain." Advertisement Another commented: 'I had a woman last week ask me for a normal coffee… she wanted an oat milk flat white." "'Regular latte' 'Ok medium' 'No?? Small,'" penned a third. Meanwhile a fourth said: "I work at Costa and can confirm all these things are 100% spot on." "As someone who works in a cinema I totally understand this! No one ever tells you what they actually want,' claimed a fifth. Advertisement Someone else added: ''Can I get a white coffee' then proceeds to argue with me that a white coffee is a latte and there's no such thing as an americano with milk.2
