I've sent items in through Thred-Up twice... all like-new or new with tags, relevant brands. The first time I did not opt for return service and got beat on a nearly new, navy leather Michael Kors bag. Made zero sense that they didn't accept it but totally my fault for not pre-checking that they would/opting for the return service. Lesson learned.

The second time I had 9 items accepted, some of which were brand new with tags, and included items from Michael Kors, Juicy Couture, and Jessica Simpson. My payout (before return service) was $32.78. My items listed combined were to sell for 160.91... that's less than 20% payout.

I realize they have a payout percentage structure listed on their site but honestly, just feels like it's criminal. To end up with $19 in my pocket after all is said and done with the return shipping for unaccepted items, I'd rather just donate my clothes to someone in need next time. So unless you're really hard up for pocket change and can't figure out how to sell stuff yourself on eBay or find a consignment shop, I'd steer clear.
