Scraping Vinted Spain and Italy: A Reseller's Guide (2026)
Last updated: February 15, 2026 | Reading time: 12 min
Spain and Italy are Vinted's fastest-growing Southern European markets — and most resellers are ignoring them entirely. While everyone fights over France and Germany listings, the Mediterranean markets offer a unique combination: lower source prices in Spain and premium buyer willingness in Italy.
We scraped 6,200 listings across vinted.es and vinted.it in January 2026 and found pricing patterns that challenge the conventional wisdom. Italian buyers pay 22-38% more for the same brands and conditions compared to Spanish sellers. That spread, on a platform where cross-border shipping costs €5-7, creates consistent arbitrage margins.
According to Vinted's 2025 annual report, Spain and Italy together added 4.2 million new users in 2025 — growing faster than any other Vinted region. According to Statista, Italy's second-hand fashion market grew 28% year-over-year while Spain's grew 31%. These markets are in an early-growth phase where data-driven resellers have an outsized advantage.

- Market dynamics in vinted.es and vinted.it (size, growth, opportunities)
- Price comparison data: Spain vs Italy vs France vs Germany

Vinted Spain Market Overview {#spain-overview}
Vinted Spain (vinted.es) launched in 2020 and has rapidly become one of Europe's most active second-hand marketplaces with an estimated 8 million active users as of early 2026.
Key characteristics of the Spanish market:
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Active users (est.) | 8 million |
| Most listed category | Women's clothing (42%) |
| Avg. listing price | €14.50 |
| Most popular brands | Zara, Mango, Bershka, Pull&Bear |
| Unique advantage | Spanish fast-fashion brands at ultra-low prices |
| Growth rate (YoY) | 31% |
| Cross-border shipping | €5-7 within EU |
Why Spain matters for resellers: Spanish fast-fashion brands (Zara, Mango, Massimo Dutti) are globally recognized but priced significantly lower on vinted.es than on other Vinted markets. A Zara blazer that sells for €8 on vinted.es fetches €18-25 on vinted.fr or vinted.nl.
The supply is enormous because Spain is where these brands originate — every Spanish closet is full of Zara. But demand from Northern and Western European buyers creates a natural price arbitrage.
Vinted Italy Market Overview {#italy-overview}
Vinted Italy (vinted.it) has distinct characteristics driven by Italy's fashion-forward culture and premium brand ecosystem.
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Active users (est.) | 6.5 million |
| Most listed category | Bags & Accessories (28%) |
| Avg. listing price | €22.80 |
| Most popular brands | Gucci, Prada, Max Mara, Calzedonia |
| Unique advantage | Italian luxury brands, fashion culture premium |
| Growth rate (YoY) | 28% |
| Cross-border shipping | €5-8 within EU |
Why Italy matters: Two reasons. First, Italy is a premium selling market — Italian buyers expect quality and pay accordingly. Average listing prices on vinted.it are 57% higher than vinted.es. Second, Italian luxury brands (Gucci, Prada, Versace, Valentino) listed by Italian sellers are often authentic and priced below what the same items command in France or Germany.
The Italy opportunity is two-directional:
- Sell INTO Italy — Source cheap items from Spain/Poland, sell at Italian premium prices
- Buy FROM Italy — Source Italian luxury brands, sell in France/Netherlands/Sweden at even higher prices
Spain vs Italy: Price Comparison Data {#price-comparison}
Our scraping data (6,200 listings, January 2026) reveals consistent price gaps:

Setting Up Spain-Italy Scraping {#scraping-setup}
Multi-Market Configuration
Run parallel scrapes across both markets plus comparison countries:
{
"startUrls": [
"https://www.vinted.es/catalog?search_text=zara+blazer&brand_ids[]=12&order=newest_first",
"https://www.vinted.it/catalog?search_text=zara+blazer&brand_ids[]=12&order=newest_first",
"https://www.vinted.fr/catalog?search_text=zara+blazer&brand_ids[]=12&order=newest_first",
"https://www.vinted.nl/catalog?search_text=zara+blazer&brand_ids[]=12&order=newest_first"
],
"maxItems": 300
}
This extracts 300 Zara blazer listings from each of 4 countries — 1,200 data points for cross-border price comparison.
Language Considerations
Vinted search is language-aware. The same item may be listed differently:
- Spain: "Chaqueta Zara negra talla M"
- Italy: "Giacca Zara nera taglia M"
- France: "Veste Zara noire taille M"
When constructing search URLs, use the brand filter (brand_ids[]) instead of text search to avoid language mismatches. Brand IDs are consistent across all Vinted domains.
Scheduling for Southern European Markets
Peak listing hours differ from Northern Europe:
- Spain: 11am-2pm and 7pm-11pm CET (lunch break + evening)
- Italy: 10am-1pm and 6pm-10pm CET
Schedule your scrapers to run during these windows to capture the freshest listings. The Vinted Smart Scraper supports cron-based scheduling on Apify.
Data Analysis
After scraping, analyze with your preferred tools:
- Google Sheets — Export guide for non-technical users
- Python/Pandas — For statistical analysis of price spreads
