List a whole haul at once.
Photograph the week’s finds the way you always do, then upload the lot. Tinbird does the sorting and writes a draft listing for you to check. Listing takes a fraction of the time, so you’ve got more of it for finding the next piece.
- Upload every photo at once, straight from your camera roll.
- Tinbird puts each piece’s photos together: the front, the back and the label.
- It drafts every listing, with a name, a description, the details on the label and any wear it can see.
- You check them, add your prices and make them a drop.
Everything your finds need.
Built for pieces there’s only one of, not stock in a warehouse.
- Stock held at checkout
Sold once, never twice.
Whoever starts paying first has the piece held for them. Once they’ve paid, it’s gone, so you never have to refund a second buyer.
- Sign-ups
A sold piece still gets you sign-ups.
Give a piece a stock of one. Once it sells, its page says it’s gone for good and asks visitors to sign up for your shop’s news, so they hear about the next rack.
- Drops
Open each new rack at a set time.
Put the week’s finds in a drop and choose when it opens. Anyone who taps Remind me gets an email an hour before and another when it opens. How drops work
- Shared details
Write your measuring guide once.
Write how you measure once and add it to every piece, then give each piece its own numbers: pit to pit, length, shoulder, waist, rise and inseam.
- Returns
Say when it’s final sale.
Set your shop’s returns policy, and mark a piece final sale with a reason. Buyers see it on the product page before they pay.
- Your buyers
Your buyers, not ours.
Buyers pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay without making a Tinbird account. You see every buyer’s email, and their receipts and “on its way” emails come from your shop.
Not yetShipping is your own price per order, at home and to the places abroad you choose. Tinbird doesn’t connect to Depop, Vinted or eBay, so if a piece sells there first, set its stock to zero here.
Vintage questions, answered.
- How do I sell vintage clothing online?
- Photograph each piece front and back, with every flaw up close, and list it with a stock of one and its measurements, not just the size on the label. Put your shop link in your bio and tell people when the next rack opens.
- I already sell on Depop and Vinted. Why have my own shop?
- Tinbird isn’t a marketplace, so new buyers won’t find you by browsing. It’s for the people who already follow you. Keep using the apps to be found, and send your regulars here. You see every buyer’s email and everyone waiting for a drop, and a sold piece asks people to sign up for your news instead of sending them back to someone else’s feed.
- Can a piece sell twice?
- Not in your shop. Each piece is held while someone pays, and it’s gone once they’ve paid. If it sells at your stall or on another app first, set its stock to zero and it’s off sale straight away.
- What about comment-to-claim and Lives?
- Keep posting the way you do, and send people to the piece’s link instead of keeping a list of who said “sold” first. The first to pay gets it, with an order and a receipt, so there’s nobody to chase. On a Live, keep a piece private and send its link to whoever claims it. Private pieces don’t show in your shop, but anyone with the link can buy them.
- If someone buys three pieces, do they pay postage three times?
- No. Shipping is one charge per order: one price however many pieces, or a little more for each extra piece if you set it. You can make it free over an amount you choose, which gives buyers a reason to add one more.
- What should a vintage listing say?
- The size on the label and how it fits now, measurements taken flat, the fabric, the era if you know it, and every flaw, with a photo. Write your measuring guide once as a shared section and add it to every piece.
- Can I sell bundles or deadstock?
- Yes. For a bundle you pick yourself, like three pairs of jeans, make one product with an option for each waist size, each with its own stock. Deadstock with a few left is one product with a stock of three or four.
- Can my shop page link to my stall and buying days?
- Yes. You can add links to your shop page, like where your stall is this weekend, your next Live, or a form for people who want to sell you their clothes.
- Do I have to take returns?
- You write your own returns policy and can mark single pieces final sale. But check the consumer law where you sell: in some countries, buyers can return things bought online whatever your policy says.
- Should I use Big Cartel or Stan Store for vintage?
- On Stan Store’s $29 plan, nothing stops a piece selling twice, and Big Cartel counts sold pieces against its product limit, so a rack a week fills its $15 plan in about a month. We go through both in Stan Store vs Big Cartel.
- How should I price vintage?
- Check what the same piece has actually sold for lately, then make sure it covers what you paid, cleaning, repairs and packaging. With no cut of your sales, the price you set is what you get, less Stripe’s card fee.
- How much does Tinbird cost?
- $20 a month, with no cut of your sales and your first 14 days free. Stripe’s usual card fees apply. See pricing
