Is Vinted down? Users reporting issues with second-hand selling platform

Customers of popular second-hand selling platform Vinted are venting their frustrations over issues today. Following an earlier outage, users are again experiencing issues with the app and printing postage labels.

Downdetector, an online service providing users with real-time information about the status of various websites and services, confirmed “user reports show problems with Vinted”. StatusGator has also stated “possible Vinted outage”.

The platform which monitors the published service status of hundreds of cloud services, said: “StatusGator has detected an outage at Vinted. Shipping label creation and printing not working. There have been 328 user-submitted reports of outages in the past 24 hours.”

A spokesperson added: “Based on our analysis, Vinted might be experiencing or have recently experienced an outage even though there is no official acknowledgment of the issue. This chart represents Vinted service health over the last 24 hours, with data points collected every 15 minutes based on issue reports, page visits, and signal strength.”

In the last few minutes, UK users have reported issues with printing shipping labels and the app not loading. One wrote: "Unable to generate QR code for an order. Getting a 'something went wrong' pop up when messaging someone." Another wrote: "Says server down which has been all day." One simply stated: "App not loading."

The outage comes after Vinted revealed earlier today (April 9) that its sales neared £1 billion last year after surging by more than a third. However the Lithuanian marketplace reported a drop in profits after splurging on European expansion and introducing items like sports and collectables to the platform.

Revenues totalled 1.1 billion euros (£960 million) for 2025, up 38% on the year before, according to the firm. People using the platform traded 10.8 billion euros (£9.4 billion) of gross merchandise value – meaning the total value of items bought and sold.

Vinted is one of Europe’s biggest second-hand fashion marketplaces and has tapped into a rapidly growing market to sell and shop for used items, particularly among younger people and those looking for cheaper or more sustainable deals. The trend of trading fashion items continued to deliver a boost for the platform, particularly among women’s and children’s clothing.

The company said its net profit of 62 million euros (£54 million) was nearly a fifth lower than the previous year. Adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (Ebitda) came in at 151 million euros (£132 million), down 5% year-on-year.

Vinted said profits were lower because of investments made during the year, including to turn around its performance in Germany, expand the categories of items sold on the platform, and launch its in-house shipping service in Spain and Portugal. The platform also launched in Latvia, Estonia and Slovenia in 2025.

Thomas Plantenga, Vinted’s chief executive, said: “To make second-hand first choice, we know what we need to do: we need to be the most cost-efficient, be the most reliable and easy to use.”
