Seller photography
Photograph a Vinted parcel before sealing it
A small photo sequence can help a seller remember which item, accessories and protective layers went into a parcel. Prepare the photographs while packing, before a sealed box makes the contents impossible to see. The sequence is a personal packing record.
Start on a clean surface
Lay the actual item beside any included parts. Keep unrelated stock off the table so nothing in the picture implies an extra item. Photograph the front and one identifying detail under even light.
Show the complete set
For a belt and removable pouch, make one frame with both items visible. Compare that frame with the item description. If the description mentions a dust bag, check for it before the wrapping starts.
Record the protective layer
Take a frame showing how fragile edges or hardware are separated. Leave enough context for someone to recognise the item. A close-up of crumpled paper alone does not explain what it protected.
Photograph the open box
Show the protected item inside its actual packaging before closing the lid. Keep private addresses and shipping labels out of the photograph intended for sharing. If other information is needed for your own records, store it separately.
Add a closing frame
After sealing, capture the general condition and shape of the parcel. Choose one view in which the seams are visible. Avoid promising a dispute outcome from any set of photographs; follow the platform’s current process for a specific order.
File by order and date
Use an internal order reference rather than a buyer’s home address in the filename. Keep the sequence chronological so it is easy to find a missing packing step or repeat the setup for the next sale.
Keep the packing sequence together
Arrange the three photographs in order and store the private original separately from any copy shared with a buyer.
