I sent 4 filled-to-the-max bags of clothes to thredUP. Believe me when I say they were of the utmost quality -- the majority of them were brand new with tags. These were boutique brands like Neige, Pink Chicken, and Crew Cuts -- no Old Navy, Carter's or even Gap. (When my daughter was born I had a bit of a clothes-buying habit. Her wardrobe was truly extraordinary, and she never wore even 1/2 of it.) For the first bag, I made $62. All were designated for upfront payment, none for consignment. I thought that was a bit strange bc many of the pieces were in the $100 range but just assumed there must have been issues I missed. Then a couple weeks later I recieved notice that a second bag would payout $20. At this point alarm bells were going off. There was no way the clothes i had sent had come to such a small amount. No way! Today was the final straw... the payout for the third bag? $2. This company has gotten unthinkably unscrupulous. (I sold The same quality of clothing to them years ago and made a full 10x the amount. 10x!) I usually pass along my daughter's clothes to a friend but I was trying to make some Christmas cash. I'm mortified to have been victimized by this company, and completely regret having sent them the clothes. My advice? Sell on eBay or Craig's List; give to a friend; or donate. The tax write off is actually worth more than you will make here, and you'll actually be helping kids in need instead of padding the pockets of these predators. My children's clothes meant something to me; ThredUP trashed that.
