The only reason I use ThredUP is because I hate trying to sell stuff on my own. You really have to go into giving them stuff with the idea that you are donating items and won't get any cash back... only then will you be happy with the outcome. I've sent in huge bags of clothes with new items (still with the tags on) only to have them never make it to the list of accepted items. They give you the option to return anything not selected. For $12 which can really eat into the tiny chunk of cash they offer for the stuff they agree to sell. They miscategorize clothes all the time and there is no consistency with the items the sell. I bought a pair of Dylan George jeans that were mismarked for their size. They were tagged way bigger than their true size, which is probably how they made it to their inventory in the first place. I've used them about 3 times and while its less work than trying to sell items myself, its still a pretty mediocre service.

I cannot even believe how bad my experience was with Thred Up. First of all, they returned about 75% of the clothing I sent them, Then they listed the items they did accept but at awful prices. Designer clothing that had never been worn! I was livid when I saw how low they had priced my articles. So I ended up with next to nothing from the sale of three items. The last item I have listed with them is still listed after about 6 months and I think I know why. The description of the item is all wrong AND the photo doesn't offer a true depiction of the article. Needless to say, I would never recommend these people to anyone ever.

This company basically steals valuable items from people. I placed a pair of very gently used Nike Kevin Durant shoes in a clean out bag with other items. My 4 year old son literally wore these shoes only on the basketball court. They retail for $50. They didn't accept the shoes and when I asked for them back, they said "sorry. We already got rid of them." Yes. I'm sure you did. Probably in the hands of an employee. I looked on their site and the items they accept are much more dated and in far worse condition then the shoes I sent. Never mind the fact they paid only $4 for 5 of my other items. Seller beware! Consign elsewhere especially if your items are of any value whatsoever.

Love, love love the cheap prices on all the clothing! Ever item I've received has been in great condition. Since I loved buying on the site so much, I decided to try selling my clothes. However, I was very disappointed. When I logged on to order my bag, I noticed you could only receive the unwanted clothes back if you paid like an extra $7. You also had to pay extra if you wanted real money, not just store credit. At a consignment store called Plato's closet, I do not have to pay either of those fees. Anyway, I decided to order my bag anyway and filled it up with about 25 items. When they finally processed my bag (it took like 14 days, Plato's Closet takes hours), they had taken 18 items and given me $21 dollars. That's like $1 per piece of clothing! I was so disappointed, I thought I was going to receive way more money. Although, I will continue shopping on this site, since the prices are awesome.

I've been shopping with thredUp for around two years now and selling to them for about a year. All of clothes that I've received have been in great condition and exactly as described. Usually if there's a little star that there's a flaw in the clothing I can't even figure out what the flaw is because it's so incredibly tiny. I've also bought two handbags from them and have received so many complements about how lovely the bags are.

While selling at times I've been surprised by how much credit I've been given for some bags I've sent, and at other times it was less than I expected, but it all evens out. If I wanted to put in the work to sell on Ebay I might get more, but I know I don't have the time for that and so I'm thankful that thredUp makes it easy.

I was introduced to ThredUp about a year ago and loved it! I bought and sold and bought some more! The value was always great and the prices were awesome. Since it has 'evolved', the payout per bag has decreased substantially - even though the items are name brand and great condition and yet the prices have gone up. The selection that used to be available has been cut drastically as a result. I gave three stars because there's still some great deals and great products to be found, it's just not what it used to be.

I used to shop regularly at thredUp for clothing for both myself and my kids. Recently they changed things up and I don't think it's for the better. The shipping is more expensive now, you also have to reach a much higher price to get free shipping. The clothing has gone up in price as well and they have phased out certain brands. While everything seemed to have spiked up, my recent bag I consigned rang in at $13 dollars and change, although my items were listed for a tally of $50 plus. The sneakers alone I mailed in to consign were priced at $22.99. I am disappointed, will not use thredUp again.

I sent a large bag filled with current style business casual items from banana republic, jcrew, free people, anthropologie, and topped it off with a $200 pair of barely worn Hudson jeans that were too small for me. And they only accepted 1 item and gave me $1.40 credit! I should have paid the $12 to have my clothes sent back to me. I would have rather given them to friends. I thought I would make some money so I could purchase from thread up. Seriously!?!? What a scam!

I heard about this site from blogger, Pbfingers. I decided to give it a try and sent in a stuffed bag of Jcrew/Jcrew factory clothing. A conservative estimate that I expected was about $100. Again, this was keeping my expectations low. Pbfingers always seems to miraculously get $200 back whenever she sends in her clothes. I got back $47.25, despite the fact that they are keeping 11 of my items. One of the J crew skirts is being sold for $29. How do you figure, Thredup? I'm sure you're making loads of money scamming the people who sell your clothes, but unfortunately for you this model won't last.

After sending them clothes all according to their list of acceptable brands and with their suggested prices, expected about $75 in payment. Weeks passed before they emailed me that I would receive $22. No surprise there, I should have expected the scam. Now that four months have passed, I'm still waiting for that check.
Don't bother going through that company. Really not worth your while to go through the hassle of ordering their shopping bag, checking and listing items, mailing it, and not getting anything in return.

I wish I could give a zero! I sent them probably 30 items. All gently used, some even still had the price tags on them. They took 8 items and gave me $15.63. I would have just gone to Crossroads and dealt with the mean girls head on and got more money. This place is such a rip off for the sellers. I'm so angry and then they have the nerve to ask me how my experience was. Do not waste your time selling your clothes here, they are thieves!
