If you want to shop here, that's fine. Just understand that your dollars are fattening the wallets of everyone but the trusting person who sent ThredUp the item.

It's my fault. I should have studied the fine print better. But since "Real Simple" magazine recommended this site, I took a flyer on it and literally paid the price.

I took a lot of time to clean and examine the clothing I sent and make sure they were "accepted" brands. I estimated that the total THRIFT STORE value of the items I sent was about $45-$50. On the website, I guessed they'd bring maybe twice that.

My payout on roughly half of the items that were accepted and sold was a whopping $5.50 Then they turned around and sold the stuff for at least 10 times that amount.

I would have done much better with my local consignment store! I will not use this site again. I'd much rather give my clothes to charity. I know ThredUp claims to do that with their rejects, but I'd rather have my clothes go to my local community -- not some Silicon Valley sham/scam.
