How to cross list (import) Mercari listings to Vinted
Crosslisting from Mercari to Vinted means putting the same item up for sale on both marketplaces, so more buyers see it. Done by hand, it means downloading photos and retyping every field. With OctoResell it takes three clicks, and you still check the listing before it goes live.

Step by step
- Import from Mercari. Open your item on Mercari and click Import to OctoResell at the bottom right. It saves the photos, title, description, price, brand, size and condition in your browser.
- Send to Vinted. Press Vinted in the card that appears, or in the OctoResell popup. The Vinted listing form opens in a new tab.
- Check and post. OctoResell uploads the photos and fills the fields. Its checklist shows anything it could not fill, with a button that jumps to the field. Fix those, then press Vinted's own post button.
What carries over to Vinted
- Photos: full-size, up to 20 per listing.
- Title: Vinted titles are limited to 100 characters, so long Mercari titles are trimmed at a word boundary.
- Description: up to 2,000 characters, with brand, size, color and condition added on one line at the end.
- Price: copied as is, or raised or lowered by the percentage you set to cover Vinted's fees.
- Category and condition: picked from Vinted's dropdowns when a close match exists. If not, the checklist tells you to pick them.
Before you post on Vinted
Vinted may ask you to verify your phone number before your first listing. OctoResell opens the Vinted country site you pick in Settings, or the one the item came from.

Questions
Can I import my Mercari listings to Vinted?
Yes. Vinted has no import button for Mercari listings, so you either retype each one or use a crosslisting tool. OctoResell imports the Mercari listing from its page and fills the Vinted form, one listing at a time.
Can I crosslist from Mercari to Vinted automatically?
Yes. OctoResell imports your Mercari listing and fills the Vinted listing form with photos, title, description, price, brand and size. You check the form and post it yourself.
How many photos can I copy from Mercari to Vinted?
Vinted accepts up to 20 photos per listing. OctoResell uploads full-size photos from Mercari up to that limit.
Will my Mercari title fit on Vinted?
Vinted titles are limited to 100 characters, so long Mercari titles are trimmed at a word boundary.
Can I sell the same item on Mercari and Vinted at once?
Yes, many resellers list one item on both. The risk is selling it twice, so take the other listing down as soon as one sells.
Does crosslisting to Vinted remove the Mercari listing when it sells?
It can. While your browser is open, OctoResell checks your linked listings every 15 minutes. When a sale is confirmed it removes the item from Poshmark, Mercari, Depop and Vinted for you, after asking first unless you turn on automatic removal. eBay, Etsy and Facebook listings open in one click so you can end them. Sales made on Facebook are not detected.
OctoResell does these steps for you. Free for 5 fills a day, or $15 a month for unlimited crosslisting. Cancel anytime.
