I have used thredUP in the past and had good results. This last clean out bag I had several items that sold, some brand new with tags. I got several emails from thredUP telling me my payout amount, but my account balance never changed. When I asked about it, I was told that there was a " clean out fee ". That clean out fee was conveniently slightly more than my payout fee. There's another review on here stating " they steal clothes" and I completely agree. Thredup has lost my business. I will no longer sell, buy, or refer anyone to Thredup.
Sent a number of items, and most sold. By the time they take all their fees and cut, I received a credit of less than $3.00. Will donate my clothes going forward, which is what I had done in the past.
ThredUp accepts items with so much inconsistency that it is impossible to predict what they will accept and what they will "reject." They clearly make a significant profit off the "rejected" items as well but force you to decide in advance whether you will accept their rejections. You will lose (have stolen) valuable items without explanation. Very untrustworthy. Not recommended.
Recently they started charging nearly $20 to process a bag. The bags used to be free. You hardly make any money for mid range label clothing like Madewell, Banana Republic, etc. They then take most if not all your earnings in fees. At least you can claim your Goodwill donations on your taxes. You'll get far more money. Thredup started out great but has turned into a money grab site - beware.
I purchased some athletic shorts. Per the description they were WOMENS size large champion shorts. I received size large in GIRLS... and it's blatantly obvious it's a girls
Size. The waist itself is 11 inches. The large romper I bought had rotted elastic at the top and was totally stretched out. It costs 8.99 to ship back to them regardless that I've already paid 5.99 for shipping to even receive the items. I'm super disappointed, upset that I wasted money, and will not shop here again or recommend them. I gave them a
Chance because I'd heard good things. My items were straight up the opposite of what was described and I feel ripped off. No, I'm not going to pay for shipping again for their mistakes and false descriptions. I'll give the shorts to my niece, maybe they will fit her and the romper goes in the trash.
They have too much coming in and they will just close out your packages after months of wait without putting anything on sale. I sent out lots of brand new items for kids and I was told they are out of style. My kids are toddlers so things were not older than 4 years. I think is unprofessional to say that they will put the effort to look into the packages when they clearly don't.
And I have been sending things for a while so I can certainly say that things were much different in the past when probably they did not have the same volume of items to process. They claim they do this for the planet when they clearly do not care at all about throwing away perfectly new pieces of clothing.
Very disappointing.
Never received my product for a purchase of over $100. Their customer service told me there is nothing they could do refund-wise and told me to contact police for theft. This is insane. If I spend money on product, I expect to receive it. The only theft here is from ThredUp.
I had decided to clean out my closet and had a dress that was a designer $600 in my bag. They put it under some strange brand. I saw the price they listed it for was $12 …. And my payout would be $ 2.50! I emailed them immediately too please change prices or ship back to me. The girl said she would work on it immediately. A week later, I check my kit and the item was SOLD. I learned my lesson and will just donate clothes completely in the future. I feel that this company just wants to be greedy… will not use EVER again
I sent in 4 clean out kits to try this resale service and due to the Thredup charges, all my items sold, but the sales were not enough to cover the service charges - this is actually costing me money. I would get more value from donating the clothing (name brand items) or selling on Facebook marketplace
Don't sell your items here. You won't get anywhere close to the value of the items you send and the items they claim to donate are sold through other resale sites. It'll be easier to do it yourself through Mercari or Facebook marketplace where you set your own prices. Only getting $1.40 for a pair of pants that sold for $20
Something very sketchy is going on with Thredup. My higher-end, on-trend, like-new clothes were allegedly not accepted, yet all of my cheap, fast-fashion stuff with extremely low payout rates was. Smells like a scam to me.
65 cents for several items in excellent condition and a brand new Vera Bradley bag with tags... yeah, I should have just donated. Also, their prices have gone way up and I can get much better discounts at a retail store during sale season. Never using them again.
I've been a customer (buyer) for a couple years now and sadly this will be my last purchase because it never fails to disappoint!
The search algorithm is terrible, clothing is often misrepresented an example being several tops ordered have been petite and wasn't listed as such and the shipping is ridiculous! It takes forever to get your items that you hope is what it's advertised to be. I've had damaged clothes, petite clothes, terrible material, etc and due to "non refundable " or "restocking fees" it isn't ideal to return and that's the point from a business perspective but what ThredUP fails to realize is that only works for so long until A. Customers start dropping like flies or B. Something better comes along that takes care of the customer. Amazon has some flaws but their shipping and customer support is amazing! And that hides a multitude of flaws just saying!
I like buying my clothing pre loved whenever possible, and Thredup makes that easier! Their prices are a bit higher than the average brick and mortar consignment shop, but their selection is way better!
Not worth sending in at their payout percentages unless something is priced over $50 otherwise you get about 50 cents an item. I have tons of outgrown nice kids clothes but would rather donate or give to a friend. I was pleased with purchases but some items were not sized correctly and I still had to get a credit rather than refund even though it was not listed properly. I would only shop again if I got another 40% off. Good values for designer brands, especially children's clothes.
Don't sell your clothing, shoes, etc. on this site. They take FOREVER to process your clean out bags and the payoff amounts are absolutely ridiculous! I sent them a $200.00 never used Brahmin bag that they listed for $65.00. My payoff amount was $3.65. How does a beautiful, worn once, Sundance blouse list less then a Faded Glory tee shirt? VERY disappointed and upset. You're better off selling your stuff at a yard sale or EBay.
We appreciate the time you took to leave a review Kelly and we apologize for your unsatisfactory experience.

I sent a bag on Oct 6th containing high end barely worn clothes and shoes... Took over a month to process and was offered a measly $17.00! Return service costs $12.99 so not even worth sending or selling the two garments they did keep... Clearly there stint on GMA was a farce! Total joke... Do not waste your time... You would make more at a yard sale!
I much prefer buying gently used, higher quality clothes rather than brand new cheap stuff. That's why I keep coming back. However, it can be hard to find what I'm looking for. Clothes are frequently tagged incorrectly--wrong color, wrong gender, wrong style--and even when tagged correctly, the search doesn't always work. When I narrow my "pants" search to look for "gray," it returns zero results, even though there are obviously hundreds of pairs of pants that are tagged "gray." I've tried this on multiple days, different devices, so I can only assume there's something wrong on their end. Finally, they need to start tagging the fiber content. Sometimes you are only interested in a wool sweater, or a silk blouse, and right now it's impossible to search for that.
From what I can see the their prices are ridiculous. You're better off at at Nordstrom's 1/2 yearly sale! LOL. What a joke. I doubt they'll be around for long. Give me $20 and I'll set you up with an entire name brand outfit. Shoes and all!
Hey Jill, we have so many items at different prices - can we help you find anything within a certain price range? This link has items starting at 99 cents: http://bit.ly/2sJaM0E
Some of children's clothing were not properly sized but, everything was in excellent condition. I bought three designer handbags, they far exceeded my expectations. I have placed two more orders with Threadup
Answer: Don't bother. I got 80 cents for a whole bag of good condition name brand clothes.
Answer: I've actually emailed their customer service to show them how many negative reviews there were on this site and they did not care at all. They just quoted their policies. I'm sure they will go bankrupt soon enough...
Answer: 1% but they trash the expensive stuff (or am not sure what they do with it) and sell the cheap stuff. So i sent 2 bags with over 20 items, and got total 25$. I had antik batik dress, anthropologie clothes, jcrew, christian lacroix, etc. and they trashed the expensive (new condition) brand and listed cheap things. I will not send them stuff again, it was very hurtful.
Answer: Because they essentially steal your clothes and then sell them for a profit. You get hardly any payout, but they gladly take all your clothes and sell them for a big mark up.
Answer: Of course buyers are satisfied. They are getting other peoples' brand-name, like-new clothes that has been stolen by ThredUp. Buying from ThredUp just supports their dishonest and shady business practice.
Answer: I almost always sell on eBay first. Then when I don't feel like hanging on to the clothes any more and just want my closet space back and they have been on eBay for months, I will send to thredUP. I don't even send in that high end of items and I will usually get $16 and up per bag. So to me, it's a last resort, but I usually can expect something even if it's a little. I LOVE thredUP for buying. Use their upfront calculator to see what items they take. They will say 50 cents to 1.00 per item so it is not hidden info. There is always the return option where you can get your entire bag back for $12.99 as well. Everyone who has nice stuff they'd want back should opt for this method always.
Answer: They sent me an email and put the money on my thred up account so I can buy something. I was do disgusted I gave up on the whole thing
Answer: Because I sent in 575.00 worth of clothes and recieved 8.00 in credit, half of them had tags still on them and were high priced items. When I asked for proof why they did not take them in they said they had stains on them. I asked for pics because they were brand new, they squirted water on them and took a pic. It takes a couple months to even get your credit and when you buy womens clothes, half the time I was sent stained or childrens sized clothes, TWICE is a much better company.
Answer: Honestly this company is not choosing to accept a lot of product that could easily be listed. I have sent bags and bags, including valuable pieces... cashmere sweaters, high end items of considerable retail cost and relatively recently produced. When questioned I am given the response that the items were not in as good a shape as they wanted them to be. That their buyers should be able to buy perfect product. My take on this is... if it's a 200 dollar cashmere sweater and the purchase price is under 10 dollars, a few pills on the fabric should be a non issue! Period. I question what is going on, frankly, as many do. Too much disappears with no explanation, many bags go into complete reject status. I genuinely am concerned that there is a story here and may become apparent after a while. Only time will tell.
Answer: Not worth it unless you have stuff priced over $40 and can get 40%. There percentages are ridiculous for lower priced clothes. You can order return assurance for about $12 but be prepared to get a bag back with your items stuffed in like garbage. They do not even take the time to fold things nicely even though you pay for this service.
