More than 16million people in the UK are currently signed up to the site.
Most people sell clothes on Vinted, but you can also flog things like toys, cosmetics, beauty gadgets, homeware, kitchenware, pet items, electronics, sports equipment and books.
Generally, you need to add a few photos of the item and a description, as well as choose a category and set your price.
But
"Mystery bundles is the way forward", the savvy seller insisted.
Cherelle packages up five to 12 items per bag that is then listed for £5.
Buyers take a gamble with the bundles as they are only told the age range for kids clothes, or the UK women's size, and can't see the items through the bag in the picture.
But the Scots mum always includes a promise in her description that an extra item will be thrown in for free if one piece has "any slight marks".

Cherelle took to TikTok to give more details on her mystery bundle hack.
She said: "I've been getting this question a lot about how many items I'm putting in each bag.
"So it's like a mix really. I've obviously sold a lot of bags. Some bags have five, some bags six, some bags seven.
"And then there's been bags that are like 10 plus [items], like 12. And then I had a 0-3 months newborn girls bundle. I had like 30 items in that one. So it really just depends on the brands.
"So if it's better brands like Zara, River Island, Next then I'll maybe put a bit less in. But if it's brands like Shein, Primark, so on then maybe like five or six items.
"Buti n all the bundles, there's still like way more worth than what I'm selling them for.
"I'm currently doing more just now so I'm hoping to upload loads more."
Her Vinted video quickly racked up more than 147,000 views on TikTok (
One said: "I'll definitely be giving this a go! I've had loads of stuff on mine for ages."
"Why on earth haven't I thought of doing this", cried a second.
Someone else wrote: "This sounds like a good idea, struggling to shift some bits might give this a go."
A fourth echoed: "Such a good idea."
Meanwhile, a fifth added: "Brilliant idea, gonna give it a go."

Others who have given the hack a go already also chimed in, as one person said: "Bundles definitely sell better I've found."
"I sell them on eBay and they fly out", another person agreed.
Vinted rule 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.

How to save money at B&M Shoppers have saved hundreds of pounds a year by using B&M's scanner app. The scanner lets you see if an item's price is cheaper than advertised on the shop floor label. Products that are typically discounted are seasonal items and old stock that B&M is trying to shift. The app is free to download off the B&M Stores mobile app via Google Play or the Apple App Store. According to one ex-B&M manager, Here's how you can join the B&M bargain hunt: Download the B&M app for free on any smartphone with an App Store or Google Play. Once you've installed it on your device, click on the option labelled "more" on the bottom, right-hand side of the app home page. You'll then find an option that says "barcode scanner". Click on this and you'll open a camera screen. Use the camera to hover over the barcode of the product you wish to check. If the price comes up as lower, take it to the cash desk and it will automatically scan at the lower price. You don't need to sign up to the B&M app to use the barcode scanner. Or for just 50p extra, you can opt for a plain cream plate with black lining and bow detailing. Shopper reactions B&M customers shared their excitement for the new items in the comments section. "Love love love," wrote one impressed viewer. Another shopper said they were "obsessed" with the new buys on offer. A third person tagged their friend, saying: "We need to gooooo."

I'm a property expert – 10 major mistakes that will put off a buyer and how to fix them
IF you think your home is ready for the market, think again. According to the experts, you might love every inch of your property - but buyers don't care about your memories your wallpaper, or your gran's old curtains. Advertisement 2 Liv is an expert property stager 2 The expert says you have to strike a balance between homely and too unique Property staging guru Liv Conlon says if they can't see themselves living there, they'll walk away. Outdated decor, cluttered rooms and a messy front garden can kill a sale before anyone's even stepped inside, she insists. And Liv, 26, CEO of The Glasgow-born entrepreneur said: "If your place looks tired or too you, it'll sit on the market for months." Advertisement READ MORE IN FABULOUS Here she shares the biggest mistakes sellers make - and how to fix them. Neglecting your home's curb appeal Curb appeal plays a crucial role when viewing a home because first impressions count. An unkept exterior sets the tone for a prospective buyer before they've even stepped foot inside. Advertisement Most read in Fabulous Liv said: "Things like overgrown shrubbery, chipped paint on the front door or window ledges, broken gates and large cracks on the pathway can be the difference between someone feeling welcomed by your home or wanting to make a hasty exit. "If you're serious about selling, invest in landscaping services, fix the paint work and up the charm factor with hanging baskets, window boxes or stylish doormats." I'm a 25-year-old single mum running two seven-figure businesses, this is my daily routine - including getting up at 4am Ignoring wear and tear Homes are meant to be lived in and the chaos of a busy household can naturally lead to wear and tear. Advertisement But there's a big difference between a home that's well-loved and one that's worn out. The expert explains: "Peeling wallpaper, chipped tiles, or scuffed flooring can make a property seem neglected and less appealing to buyers. "Try to stay on top of maintenance to avoid small issues getting bigger than they have to. Clever styling can also help. Large rugs or furniture can conceal imperfections, while stylish decor can draw the eye away from imperfections." Letting unique interior taste overwhelm the space Advertisement Our interiors typically become a reflection of our personalities, but when it comes to reselling, you have to ensure prospective buyers can easily envision turning your house into THEIR home. Bright colour schemes and quirky decor pieces may appeal to you, but they may be off-putting to others. Liv says: "Opt for neutral colour palettes where you can, even if this means repainting a wall or swapping out your current soft furnishings for something simpler. "A bold outdoor style may also prove divisive for buyers, so replace ostentatious finishes or kitsch ornaments with something minimalist, like stone or marble accents." Advertisement Going overboard with photos While family pictures and treasured keepsakes may hold a lot of sentimental value for you, these items can make it hard for a potential buyer to see your house as a place they could call home. The property stager said: "Personal items can also clutter a space , distracting from striking pieces of art or ornate original features that make a house more appealing. "Strip back on the personal photos and keep your decor more neutral, creating a space that feels streamlined. When it comes to styling your home for resale, less is always more." Advertisement Not following a consistent theme You should try to achieve a consistent interior theme throughout your home, so your rooms work in harmony rather than feeling disconnected, Liv says. Mismatched styles can create a chaotic flow, so try to choose one colour palette and pick a leading colour that you can add to every room - whether that's in a rug, a statement piece of decor or an art print on the wall. The expert added: "I often say the look of a home is dictated by the kitchen, so if you've gone for a traditional style, reflect this throughout the rest of your space." Advertisement Letting your space fall flat While bright colour clashes and loud patterns may be unappealing to buyers, an all-white space can also feel soulless. Liv said: "If you're cautious when experimenting with colour, why not add subtle splashes with bright cushions, rugs or artwork? Fresh greenery can also bring real warmth to a room, or you could add pops of colour with vibrant bouquets of fresh flowers." Advertisement Ignoring the lack of lighting One of the biggest things prospective homeowners want from a space is plenty of natural light. Depending on the direction your home faces or the size of your window space, there may be rooms that feel a little dark during the day. But it's easy to create a brighter feel. Liv explains: "Cleverly-placed mirrors can reflect the light and open up the space. Lighting is also key, especially when it's layered. Advertisement "For the most effective results, consider your ambient lighting, which is typically ceiling fixtures, task lighting, which refers to reading lamps or under-cabinet lights, and accent lighting, such as artwork. When the three work in unison, a room feels instantly lighter." Letting clutter build up Clutter does a disservice to a house by making spaces feel smaller, less organised and distracting from the true beauty and potential of your home's features. Strip back room by room, clearing your kitchen countertops, bedside tables and bathroom sinks of unnecessary things. Advertisement The guru says: "Invest in clever storage solutions that can conceal the clutter without skimping on style, such as velvet ottomans, woven baskets, under-bed bags, sleek wooden toy boxes, and hanging door organisers." Forgetting to add homely touches Clearing clutter and personal items often requires a thorough declutter, but be careful not to remove all the warmth from your home. An overly bare room can feel cold and uninviting. Advertisement Liv says: "Even in spare rooms or spaces you hardly use, try to add soft furnishings, like rugs, throws, and cushions, which can introduce warmth and texture. Something as small as a potted plant can add character without overwhelming the space, while floor lamps can help to create a cosy and welcoming ambience." Opting for garish bedding Bedrooms can be a focal point of a home as they represent a space for rest and retreat. Patterned or busy linens can make a bed feel cluttered, so it's always worth investing in crisp white sets that create a sense of calm and luxury and exude that five-star feeling. Advertisement The home expert added: "A clean base can also let you experiment with brighter decor, such as statement cushions and throws, or add snug and inviting touches, like a quilted bedspread."
