thredUP is essentially an online consignment where you buy and sell gently used secondhand clothes.
How can I sell on thredUP?
To get started, you need to first request a “Clean Out Kit.”
You have to option to sell or donate to support a charity. If want to sell, select sell.
Currently, there’s not an option to get a bag mailed to you. Only option is to have a label emailed to you. You can then print the label and tape it to any box you plan to use to mail out the clothes.
