If you want to sell your clothes on Etsy, you can, but it is a bit more of a complicated experience as you will need to set up your own shop. However, it also has a super section of used and vintage clothes and there’s less competition for online thrift store on Etsy than on some of the other thrifting sites. It’s a place where seller’s creativity can really thrive. We hope that will change in the future.Įtsy, of course, has a reputation for beautiful handcrafted items from around the world. You can narrow down by category but not by a specific type of product. Our only minor complaint is the lack of a specific search function on their site. They are happy to take worn or even torn articles in and they repair them before they sell them in their online thrift store. We love the secondhand Patagonia gear that they sell which is often barely used. Speaking of “zero”, we love zero-waste online stores, so check out the best of them here. They famously have a “zero growth” business model which is designed to work in harmony with the environment. The company has regularly chosen to take the hard road from a business perspective in order to do the right thing by the planet. Patagonia’s green credentials cannot be disputed. They sell men’s, women’s and children’s clothing. You’ve probably come across Patagonia’s outdoor wear brand and Worn Wear is their other brand which deals exclusively with secondhand clothing (and adventure gear).

You can ask them to return anything that they don’t accept or to recycle it for you. You can either take the money in cash or you can use it as store credit which makes shopping even easier. To sell your clothes via ThredUp, you order a Clean Out Kit (which is basically a big bag that you fill with clothes – which must be on their “accepted brands list”) and they provide free shipping to send it back.

That’s a really positive way to bring in the customers.

So you can try their service and buy a whole item for nothing.

We also like the fact that you can almost always get a $10 free credit if you hunt around on Google. The sales process is simple and straightforward. You won’t find much in the way of vintage items, but you can find a lot of pretty much everything else. You can find thousands of brands in their stock lists and they have millions of items for sale every day in their online thrift store. It's only women’s and children’s clothes. įast forward to today and they don’t sell any men’s clothing at ThredUp. James Reinhart founded ThredUp, in San Francisco, in 2009 to get rid of his old clothes. ThredUp is an “online consignment store” and their motto is “secondhand clothes, firsthand fun”.
