Q&A
To sell on ThredUP, order a Clean Out Kit on the ThredUP website, fill it with women's and kids' clothing, shoes, and accessories, and send it back for free using the prepaid shipping label. ThredUP will review and photograph your items, list them for sale, and you'll earn a percentage of the selling price if they sell.
ThredUP accepts women's and kids' clothing in like-new condition, as well as shoes, handbags, and accessories. They prefer items from popular brands and current styles. ThredUP does not accept items with signs of wear, damage, or alterations.
Once your items are sold, you typically receive payment after the return window for the buyer has closed, which is usually around 14 days. The payment will be deposited into your ThredUP account, and you can then choose to cash out via PayPal, a prepaid Visa, or a ThredUP shopping credit.
