Frequently asked questions

• What fees are deducted from my earnings?

  There are no upfront fees!

  $14.99 will be deducted from your earnings only when items sell. If you earn less than this amount, you will not be charged (this happens with just 7% of bags).

  You can also opt into:

  • $2.99 Bag

    Bags are free for new sellers! Shipping labels to use on any box are always free.

  • $10.99 Return the items we don’t accept
  • $5.99 Reclaim an unsold item

    Plus return shipping

• Which items don’t receive earnings?

  Items from some ineligible brands

  Some brands with very low resale value are ineligible for earnings, but we still list them to try and give them a second life. If an item from an ineligible brand sells for $20 or more, you’ll still receive earnings. These are some well-known brands that don’t receive earnings:

  

  Less than 5% of our 60,000+ brand catalog are ineligible, and most are generic or imitation brands. See all

  Items that don’t sell in their listing window

  38% of accepted items don't sell within their listing window. You can reclaim an item in the final 7 days of its window for a $5.99 fee per item to offset our processing and storage costs, plus return shipping.

  If you don't want your items back, we’ll do our best to give them a second life. Learn more

• What are listing and return windows?

  The listing window is the length of time your item has to sell.

  Lower-end brands (59% of items sold) have a 30-day listing window.

  

  Higher-end brands (31% of items sold) have a 45-day listing window because pricier items usually take longer to sell.

  

  The return window is the length of time the buyer has to return your item.

  Buyers can return items within 14 days of receiving them. If your item is returned, its 30 or 45-day listing window will resume from the day that it sold. If it sells again, you’ll receive the earnings as soon as it ships.

• How do I reclaim an item that isn’t selling?

  You can reclaim your item for a fee.

  You can opt to reclaim an item in the final 7 days of its listing window for a $5.99 fee per item to offset our processing and storage costs, plus return shipping. You can combine your items with a standard order and earn free shipping.

  If you don’t reclaim your item, we’ll do our best to give it a second life.

  We progressively discount your items to improve their chance of selling and recoup some of our costs. If they still don’t sell, we partner with ethical organizations to reuse or responsibly recycle them. Learn more
