For Buyers
eBay shows 8 items per fold. Vinted shows 10. Rummij shows around 100.
The maths on traditional listing sites is brutal. Eight items visible at once, two seconds per item, and you've covered a stall in four minutes before reaching for the scroll bar. Rummij puts roughly a hundred items on the same screen area.
You scan it the way you'd scan a market stall or a page of a catalogue: quickly, laterally, writing off most things at a glance. The ones worth stopping for stand out immediately.
| Platform | Items per page-fold |
|---|---|
| eBay | ~8 |
| Vinted | ~10 |
| Depop | ~6 |
| Rummij | ~100 |
Denser browsing surfaces more serendipitous finds. The vintage jacket you didn't know to search for appears three rows down. The density also means you can rule things out faster — a full browse of a stall takes seconds, not minutes.
Pair that with a personalised feed and you get a browsing experience closer to Instagram's algorithmic scroll than to a traditional e-commerce search results page.
Browsing online used to be like shopping through a keyhole.
