When I give clothes to ThredUp, I just view it as an easy way to purge my closet. Instead of throwing it all in a bag and hauling it to goodwill, I set it out for the mailman! They may or may not pay me for these items. When they do pay me, I use that money towards my ThredUp purchases. All the clothes I've bought have been in excellent condition! If I'm not so crazy about them after they arrive, I send them back. Easy peasy! Don't plan on making hundreds of dollars. Just view the money from the clothes you give them as an extra perk!
