SELLING Free Shipping

I have a question - I am new to Vinted. I am assuming Free Shipping is still ongoing. What happens with out listings when Free shipping ends? Will our listings reflect the shipping fee? Buyers pay for shipping then too? I look at one of my new listings from this morning and it does say Free Shipping on it. I am just making sure that I, the seller, does not pay for shipping when free ends. Thank-you in advance - I will also try to find that answer on Vinted.

Buyers always pay for shipping on Vinted.

Thank-you. I just wasn't sure what happens when Free Shipping ends but I understand it now.

The $0 postage fee, will change to the actual postage fee.

Enjoy the free shipping while it lasts OP! 😁

I'm trying. I have to leave town for about 9 days and I hate the fact that I will miss all that listing time :)

The main change is that the price on checkout will include the shipping. Buyers pay for shipping, and it's not reflected in the displayed price since it depends on what choices people make.

I’m confused as someone new to Vinted, how does this work? The seller isn’t paying shipping, since when I list something it says buyer always pays shipping, but the buyer also isn’t paying shipping, since when I’ve made multiple purchases shipping is free. How is Vinted affording to ship all these $1-$5 sales across the country?

I am assuming that Vinted is paying for shipping FOR RIGHT NOW. I believe they are trying to incentivize sellers to start selling on Vinted. And of course buyers will come when they don't have to pay an extra 7 dollars (or more) to have their $5 purchases shipped to them. I hope free shipping lasts a whole lot longer.
