There is an uncomfortable truth: the same object is worth different prices on different platforms. An antique dinner set is worth 80 euros on Wallapop and 250 euros on Catawiki. A vintage T-shirt is worth twice as much on Vinted as on Wallapop. Knowing where to put each thing is half the job.
Wallapop — local and under 50 euros
What it is for: basic clothes, small furniture, recent electronics, books, everyday items. Audience: mostly Spanish, looking for cheap and nearby. Fees: low (shipping optional, direct payment possible). When not: items above 200 euros, antiques, specific collections — you will miss your market.
Vinted — clothing and accessories almost exclusively
What it is for: branded clothing, shoes, bags, vintage clothes, accessories. Audience: international, young buyers, looking for brands. Fees: 5% + 0.70 EUR per sale, after the first. When not: anything that is not clothing or fashion. Vinted is not a general marketplace.
eBay — international niche and collectibles
What it is for: collectibles (cards, comics, coins, stamps), retro electronics, vintage toys, specific tools. Audience: international, informed buyers, willing to pay well for rare pieces. Fees: ~12.5% in most categories + listing fee. When not: bulky objects where international shipping eats the margin.
Catawiki — curated antiques and art
What it is for: real antiques, jewellery above 100 euros, art, rare vinyl, premium watches, wine, classic cars. Audience: serious European collectors, paying well for genuine items. Fees: 12.5% to the seller. Key feature: every piece is reviewed by an in-house expert before appearing in auction. That filters out junk and gives buyers confidence. When not: everyday or low-value objects — they will reject your piece.

The step before
Before listing anything, take a photo of the object and check the price range across platforms. Vunto compares sources and gives you a steer in thirty seconds. Listing at a miscalibrated price means either not selling (too expensive) or giving it away (too cheap). An hour of research pays off.
