10 Reasons Why You Should NEVER EVER Sell To ThredUp

  1. ThredUp does not alert sellers when items are listed on their website. They tell you that they alert you, as things are listed, so that you can adjust prices. But THEY DON’T.
  2. ThredUp ONLY alerts sellers when items are sold. I had no idea my clothes were listed on ThredUp until I received a “One of your items has SOLD!” email. My item was a $200 Tahari shirt that ThredUp listed for $24.99. I made $5. Which leads me to…
  3. ThredUp pricing experts are moronic.
  4. ThredUp listed a $300 Lilly Pulitzer GOWN (worn once and dry-cleaned) for $30. So I paid more to dry clean my dress then I will make from its sale.

    This dress was not $143. It was $300. AND even if it was $143… $31.99!!!?

  5. ThredUp listed a $250 Cole Haan coat for $34.thredup2
  6. These absurdly discounted items sold so quickly I was not able to adjust their prices, even though they were “consignment.”
  7. Oh. And the pricing experts listed old J. Crew tank tops for $30. So, for ThredUp, designer shirts= J. Crew tank tops. Da Fuq.
  8. Any clothes they decide to keep, they keep, you cannot change the price these items are listed at and you cannot adjust your payout. So if they accept it, you get what you get. Even if they list a NWT Ralph Lauren $300 silk jacket for $40. Which is what happened to me.
  9. Thred up will give you like 50 cents for children’s clothes you paid $50 for. Hanna Andersson clothes that cost you $70? How about 75 cents? Seems fair.
  10. ThredUp is a dirty shady business. Please do not support these people. Do not buy from ThredUp. Do not sell to ThredUp. You’d make more money in giving your clothes to a GoodWill and deducting their value on your taxes. Sell on Poshmark. Sell on EBay. Sell anywhere but ThredUP.
