For Sellers

: Apart from doing your part to keep clothes out of landfills as long as possible, there’s money to be made from reselling clothes - $500 billion to be exact. About 95% of the clothes that get thrown away can still be used, which means they can be resold. Reselling is a great way to put some of that money in your wallet while also helping the planet.
: We welcome anyone who owns our products to sell them here. However, for the time being you must also reside in the United States.
: You can list any of our products that are listed in our online catalog, which you will use when you create a listing. It is never permitted to list any item that is listed in our Prohibited Items List , which includes another company’s products.
: It’s free to list your items for sale. When you sell an item, a fee of $0.00 or 10% of the sale subtotal, whichever is greater, will be deducted from the total. Our fee covers the cost of handling the financial transaction for you (including paying credit card fees), insuring your shipment, managing sales taxes for you (where applicable), and helping to address customer questions relating to your sales.
: Though you may sell items in any usable condition, to ensure that your items sell quickly and that you get repeat buyers, we recommend that your items be in very good or nearly-new condition without any noticeable wear and tear, discoloration, or stains. In any event, always describe the condition of your item clearly and fully, including any stains, tears, or other damage to avoid the risk of your sales being rejected by buyers.
: Listing an item only takes a moment:

Click on the “Sell Now” button at the top of the page (sign in or create an account as needed)

Describe the item you’re selling and its condition, set your price price, then click “Next”

Upload at least three quality photos of your item and an optional video (most buyers make their decision based on photos and videos alone, so make them good!)

Click on “Post Listing”
: You set the sale price for your listings.
: Yes, you can edit or delete your listing any time before it is sold. The option to edit a listing is available in your account under “Sales”.
: Most buyers make their decision based on product photos alone. Photograph your item from multiple angles against a white or light background. Find the right light for your product. Experiment with taking photos outdoors, but also try indoor lighting. Take lots of pictures to provide a sense of your item from different angles. Remember, the goal is to give buyers a good sense of the quality and condition of the product, so the more quality photos you provide, the more likely your item will sell.
: Buyers pay the shipping and sales tax. We’ll add the shipping fee to the total purchase price automatically based on the buyer’s address. When we’re required to do so, we’ll do the same for sales taxes. Learn more about how sales taxes are managed.
: We may review listings from time-to-time to ensure that they comply with our listing rules. If we determine that a listing violates these rules, we’ll remove it. If you have a question about why your listing was delisted, please contact us.
: Congratulations! Here’s what happens next (we’ll send you all of this information in an email too):

Print out the prepaid shipping label that is attached to your confirmation email

Pack your item neatly and securely, and attach the label to your package

Drop off the package at your post office within 3 days (this is very important)

We’ll send you updates as the package makes its way to your customer. Once delivered, your customer has two days to inspect the item and confirm that it matches the description in your listing. Once accepted, you get paid!
: Shipping is an important part of providing a good experience to your customer. Take the time to do it right. Make sure your item is clean and folded neatly. Including a thank you note is always a nice touch. Choose packaging that is clean and that protects your item. We recommend reusing existing shipping boxes whenever possible. Securely attach the shipping label to the box and drop it off at your post office.
: Your shipment is automatically insured against loss or damage of up to $100. However, you must use the mailing label that we provide to be eligible to make a claim if your item is lost or damaged.
: You have 3 days to ship the item. If you fail to ship your item on time, your sale may be voided. Please ship your orders as quickly as possible.

: If the item is damaged during shipping, the buyer will reject the delivery. We will ask the buyer to ship the item back to you so that you can file a claim with the US Postal Service. As soon as the buyer ships the item, we’ll void the original sale.
: You will earn proceeds for your sale as soon your items are accepted. Your buyer has two days to accept the item once it is delivered. If the buyer does nothing before then, the item will be automatically accepted. We’ll send you an email as soon as your proceeds are available. You can also check the status of your sales any time in your account under “Sales”.
: A buyer may reject an item within two days of receipt. In order to reject the item, the buyer must provide a detailed explanation as to why the item is being rejected, including providing photos. We’ll share this information with you and ask that you respond to the claim. You must do so within two days. Once we have both sides of the story, we’ll make a final determination. If we decide in your favor, the sale remains in place and your proceeds will be added to your account balance. If we decide in the buyer’s favor, we’ll void the sale and require that the buyer return the item to you. The cost of shipping will be billed to you in that situation. If the buyer fails to ship the item within three days of our determination, we will reverse our decision and you will get paid. This process is outlined in greater detail in our Purchase Protection Program.

: Great news! You have three options – accept it, reject it, or counter it. All of these options can be selected from the “Offers” page in your account. You have 24 hours to decide what to do. If you do nothing, the offer will automatically expire.

If you accept the offer, you agree to sell your item at that price. If you reject the offer, nothing happens and your item remains available for sale at your original listing price. If you counter the offer, the buyer will have 24 hours to decide whether to accept, reject, or counter once again. This process can repeat until one of you accepts or rejects the other’s offer.
: Yes! Sending offers is a great way to sell your items faster. You may send an offer to people who have added your item to their wishlists. Only those people will see your offer. Sending an offer does not change the listing price that everyone else sees. Here’s how to send an offer to shoppers:

Offers cannot be revoked or edited after they are sent. The people who receive your offer will have 24 hours to decide whether to accept, reject, or counter it. If nobody accept the offer, it will automatically expire after 24 hours (and you can try again).
: Online marketplaces such as ours are legally required to report gross sales amounts (less expenses) of individuals in our marketplaces to the Internal Revenue Service, if those sales exceed $600 in a calendar year. The form used to report these sales is called Form 1099-K. A copy of this form will also be sent to you for your tax records. Following the end of each calendar year, if your gross sales less our commission exceed $600, you will receive a Form 1099-K from us. Remember, you’re ultimately responsible for reporting your earning to the applicable tax authorities.

We will help facilitate that transaction and step in if there are any issues, but we have not inspected those items and cannot guarantee their authenticity or condition.

Once we have both sides of the story, we’ll make our final determination. If we decide in your favor, we’ll void the purchase and refund your money as soon as you ship the item back to the seller using a pre-paid shipping label that we’ll provide to you (failure to do so will automatically reverse the decision). However, if we decide in the seller’s favor, the sale remains in place.
