I sent 4 filled-to-the-max bags of clothes to thredUP. Believe me when I say they were of the utmost quality -- the majority of them were brand new with tags. These were boutique brands like Neige, Pink Chicken, and Crew Cuts -- no Old Navy, Carter's or even Gap. (When my daughter was born I had a bit of a clothes-buying habit. Her wardrobe was truly extraordinary, and she never wore even 1/2 of it.) For the first bag, I made $62. All were designated for upfront payment, none for consignment. I thought that was a bit strange bc many of the pieces were in the $100 range but just assumed there must have been issues I missed. Then a couple weeks later I recieved notice that a second bag would payout $20. At this point alarm bells were going off. There was no way the clothes i had sent had come to such a small amount. No way! Today was the final straw... the payout for the third bag? $2. This company has gotten unthinkably unscrupulous. (I sold The same quality of clothing to them years ago and made a full 10x the amount. 10x!) I usually pass along my daughter's clothes to a friend but I was trying to make some Christmas cash. I'm mortified to have been victimized by this company, and completely regret having sent them the clothes. My advice? Sell on eBay or Craig's List; give to a friend; or donate. The tax write off is actually worth more than you will make here, and you'll actually be helping kids in need instead of padding the pockets of these predators. My children's clothes meant something to me; ThredUP trashed that.

If you want to shop here, that's fine. Just understand that your dollars are fattening the wallets of everyone but the trusting person who sent ThredUp the item.

It's my fault. I should have studied the fine print better. But since "Real Simple" magazine recommended this site, I took a flyer on it and literally paid the price.

I took a lot of time to clean and examine the clothing I sent and make sure they were "accepted" brands. I estimated that the total THRIFT STORE value of the items I sent was about $45-$50. On the website, I guessed they'd bring maybe twice that.

My payout on roughly half of the items that were accepted and sold was a whopping $5.50 Then they turned around and sold the stuff for at least 10 times that amount.

I would have done much better with my local consignment store! I will not use this site again. I'd much rather give my clothes to charity. I know ThredUp claims to do that with their rejects, but I'd rather have my clothes go to my local community -- not some Silicon Valley sham/scam.

I just made my second purchase on Thred up - so far it has been a great experience, buying clothing that is like new for a lot less than it would normally cost. I am petite, so I am glad there are petite sizes available. I also only buy clothing that is in excellent condition, eligible for returns, and from well know brands (such as ann taylor, J. Crew, and BR). I do not think I will try selling clothing to Thred up however, due to reviews that describe this as a bad experience.

I sent three bags of designer clothing to Thread up. They accepted five items from the first bag, including a silk Joie blouse that was brand new and cost $150, an evening dress that was originally $300, and some lululemon items. For five items, I got $35. I got an email saying they accepted nothing from the other two bags. I was shocked because those bags included brand new Frye snake skin boots ($500 retail), coach shoes, and new Kate Spade and Tori Burch clothing among other items. This week, I got an email saying they had made a mistake. The email included 68 links to items. They wanted me to click on every link and note if the item was mine. Apparently, my stuff was mixed in with other people's stuff. Can you imagine how long it took to go to 68 links!?! 13 of the items were mine and I'm still not convinced I didn't miss something. Worse, I'm not convinced they sent links to all of my items they are going to keep. I know everyone thinks they have nice stuff, but seriously, I sent them great stuff. All new, designer, and less than one year old. So, right now, for three giant bags of designer clothing and shoes, I have $35 and a lot of questions/frustrations. Who knows where all my stuff is?

I'd bought a few things from ThredUp and been reasonably pleased with the quality and price. One thing was excellent, the rest were fine for what I paid.

My first consigning experience, though, was horrible. I sent a huge bag stuffed with clothes, most specifically from the list of "acceptable" brands on the website. Most were nice things that I've worn for work. All were clean, no stains, no holes. I received $1 for consigning a long-sleeved t-shirt I bought in Montreal for about $15, and nothing else for any of the things I sent. I also never received an explanation, additional payout, or information about where my things went.

I didn't expect to get rich off consigning, but I had hoped that my brand name clothes that met all of the service's criteria would result in a bit more return, or at some communication about what happened to all of the things I sent.

I won't bother shopping or consigning there again. You probably shouldn't either unless your expectations are very, very low.

I sent them two beautiful coats that I bought at Venus, and a really nice pair of fashion boots. All were never worn. And all cost me over $80 a piece.

They only accepted one coat I paid $100 for (again, not worn) and they graciously, after a month, said I earned $2.48. No offer to give me the stuff they didnt want back. Guessing they're going to make some good money off my stuff.

Biggest rip off ever. I wish I had put them in a consignment shop.

Live and learn... but pass on.

I sold items using thredup and found the process to be easy. I was a little rises disappointed with the amount of money they sent back considering three of the items I sent were brand new with tags. I also received a 40% coupon for sending in my bag but the code did not work/expired very quickly. I tind the prices of most items to be a little high and this without the 40% off coupon I probably will just accept the cash payout and not purchase anything. Seems like a great idea but wasn't truly consignment prices.
