A Vinted clone for secondhand fashion and more.

A Vinted clone is a secondhand marketplace where people sell clothes they no longer wear, ship them, and get paid once the buyer has them. Yclas has the size and brand filters, offers, bundles, shipping prices, payment held until delivery and a buyer service fee, on the Marketplace plan.

What made it work

Vinted made selling old clothes worth the effort.

Vinted started in Lithuania in 2008 and grew across Europe as a place to sell clothes from your wardrobe. Its best-known choice is who pays: sellers list and sell without a selling fee, and buyers pay a small protection fee on top of the price.

Size and brand firstBuyers filter by size, brand, condition and colour before they look at anything else.
Shipping built inItems are posted, not picked up, so the buyer can be anywhere in the country.
Paid on arrivalThe money waits until the buyer confirms the item arrived as described.
Offers and bundlesBuyers haggle in the chat and buy several items from one wardrobe at once.

The secondhand fashion marketplace software setup.

Fashion lives on filters. Add these fields to your clothing categories and make the first four search filters. Keep the post form to one screen on a phone: photos, title, price, size, brand, condition.

Who pays

Charge the buyer, and keep your Vinted clone free to sell on.

On the Marketplace plan you can add a service fee for buyers on each sale and keep the commission for sellers at zero, the same split that made selling secondhand clothes worth it for people with a full wardrobe. Payments go through your own Stripe account with Stripe Connect.

With escrow on, the seller is paid when the buyer confirms delivery rather than at once. Returns and disputes give the buyer a way to report a problem, and your team decides.

Postage labels are not bought on the site, and there is no drop-off point network. Sellers post the item themselves and add a tracking number.

Shipping Marketplace plan · Nova

Shipping prices that add up for a bundle.

Each seller sets a price for the first item and for each extra item, free shipping over an amount, and prices for other countries. A buyer who takes three tops from one wardrobe pays shipping once, the way it should be.

  • Marked as shipped with a tracking number in My sales.
  • Up to 50 items in a cart, from any number of sellers.

Offers and bundles Offers on every plan · sale prices from Professional · bundles on Marketplace

Haggle in the chat, buy the bundle.

Buyers make an offer in the conversation and the seller accepts, declines or counters; an accepted offer gives the buyer 48 hours to pay at that price. Sellers can bundle items at a set price or a percentage off, and put things on sale until a date.

Reviews and wardrobes Reviews on every plan · storefronts on Marketplace

Every seller has a wardrobe, and a rating.

A seller's store page shows everything they sell, their rating and their followers, who get an email with new items. Double-blind reviews after a completed deal stop revenge ratings, because neither side sees the other's review first.
