Estate planning as a Vinted account holder

Vinted is a peer-to-peer marketplace for buying and selling secondhand clothing and other goods. In the United States, the User Terms are with Vinted, Inc., a Delaware company. When a seller's order is completed, the money settles into the Vinted Wallet, which is provided and managed by Adyen N.V., a licensed bank in the Netherlands. The seller can spend that balance on Vinted or withdraw it to their own bank account. A deceased member's account can hold a Wallet balance, active listings, orders still in progress, and the sales and purchase history the estate needs. Vinted publishes no deceased-member process. Its User Terms do not allow a member to transfer their rights to another person, and Vinted warns that a deactivated account loses "access to your money and information related to your orders."

When a Vinted account holder dies, their wallet may be transferred to a designated person at Vinted, Inc.'s sole discretion. A transfer is not guaranteed, and satisfactory documentation is required before processing any request.

What happens at death

Vinted publishes no deceased-member or estate process. On 2026-09-17, a scan of all 389 help articles published for the United States found none, and the U.S. User Terms and the Privacy Policy contain no death, estate, executor, or probate provision. The Terms state: "You aren't allowed to transfer your rights and obligations under these Terms to another person." There is no beneficiary designation and no account transfer. The money in the Vinted Wallet is not held by Vinted: the Terms name Adyen N.V. as the Vinted Wallet Provider, and Vinted says members who activate the Wallet "become Adyen's clients." The Wallet can only be withdrawn by its owner: "By requesting a Payout, you confirm that the bank account information you've provided is for an account that belongs to you and that you are the recipient of the Payout." A survivor therefore cannot simply sign in and withdraw it, and the balance is a claim the estate raises with Vinted and its payment provider. Deactivation carries a real risk: Vinted warns that "You'll lose access to your money and information related to your orders when your account is deactivated." The policy is classified as case-by-case because Vinted decides these situations individually and publishes no procedure, document list, or timeline.
