"Make sure you're uploading at least five items every single day and that you're sending offers and liking other people's items," she explained. If you aren't a fan of sending offers to people you don't know - like Liv - then it's a good idea to find some Vinted friends you can work with.
"Send each other offers and send each other messages and like each other's posts just so that you can boost your algorithm," she added.

"In your opinion, what is the maximum number of items you would upload on Vinted on daily basis?" one person asked Liv in the comments section. "I don’t think there’s a max really!" she replied. "I’ve seen people upload 50+ in a day!" 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.
