9. After you’ve set your listing price, your item will follow thredUP’s payout timeline.

• Your item will be available for bids for 12 hours. You will be unable to edit your listing price during this time.
• If your item doesn’t sell during bidding, it will be listed for 60 to 90 days, depending on the brand or value. You can adjust your price during this time.
• Once your item sells, the buyer has a 14-day return window.
• If the buyer does not return the item, your cashout will be available.
• If your item doesn’t sell, you can reclaim your item within the last 7 days of the consignment period. Unclaimed items will become the property of thredUP after the consignment window passes

10. Payouts will vary by brand. The higher in value an item is, the higher your Payout will be.

• A Payout is the percentage of the sale that you receive. So if the item is selling for $5.00 to $19.99 and the Payout is 3% to 15% your payout could be anywhere from $0.15 to $2.85.
• Premium and designer brands will be listed for more money, meaning you could get around 80% of the buying price.
• Mid-priced and low-priced value brands vary depending on the selling price, but you can make anywhere from a 60% to 3% Payout.

11. Certain brands are ineligible for Payouts. You can still send in items from these brands, but you will not receive any money in return.

12. Before sending in your clothes, estimate the amount of money you’ll receive on thredUP’s website. ThredUP’s estimation tool allows you to select the brand and category of your item to get an idea of how much you’ll make.

• Scroll down to the purple ‘Estimate your payout’ box.
• Enter the brand and category of your item.
• Click Calculate. This tool will help you set your listing price if thredUP accepts your item.

13. Once an item sells, you can receive your earnings in a few different ways. For all of these options, you have one year to claim your earnings before they are turned into a thredUP gift card.

• ThredUP Credit. You can use your earnings towards other thredUP purchases.
• Stripe. Cashout to your bank via a Stripe account. This option includes a 1.5% plus $0.25 transaction fee.
• PayPal. Cashout to your PayPal account. This option includes a 2% transaction fee, but funds are immediately available in your account.

14. Stay on-trend and on-season. ThredUP accepts all types of clothing, but to make the most money and guarantee your items get accepted for selling, you should aim to send in on-trend clothing for the current season or the next.

15. Know that ThredUP likes clean, dry clothing. Clothes that are clean and dry are more likely to be accepted. Give your clothes one last wash before you send them to thredUP.

16. Just ditch it, if you have to. If thredUP doesn’t accept your clothes, it’s more economical and stress-free to have them recycle your clothes rather than get them returned. Not only will your closet stay clean, but thredUP will be able to recycle your clothes more efficiently than you will be able to.
