Bit of a rant/lesson combined because this genuinely annoyedme once I realised.
I've been selling on Vinted since last year. Cleared out most
of my own wardrobe, made alright money, but there was always this batch of stuff that just would NOT move. Had a pair of jeans up since January. Some tops, a jacket. All sitting there with barely any views, let alone offers.
For ages I assumed it was the price. So I kept dropping it.
Knocked a few quid off here and there, still nothing. Was about ready to just bundle it all and give it away basically.
Then I actually paid attention to the search side of it instead of the price side. And the penny dropped. My titles were rubbish. I was writing stuff like "black jeans size 12" or
"brown jacket". That's it. No brand, no fit, no style, nothing
anyone would actually type into the search bar.
Because here's the thing I didn't get before: nobody searches "black jeans". They search "Levi 501 W30" or "Zara wide leg black" or whatever the actual thing is. If your title doesn't have the words people are typing, your item basically doesn't exist in search no matter how good the photos or price are.

So I went through my dead listings and rewrote every title.
Brand first, then the item, then size, then the fit/style word.
"Zara wide leg trousers black size 12" instead of "black
trousers". Didn't even change most of the prices.

The jeans that had been sitting since JANUARY sold in 4 days. Two other dead items went the same week.

Honestly a bit annoyed I spent months dropping prices when the
problem was that nobody could find the stuff in the first place.

Anyone else have this? What's the daftest title you've used
before you figured out the search thing?

After months of stuff not selling I worked out it was my titles the whole time, not my prices

Does anyone know what these are?
