Frequently asked

Answers from our partner team.

The fastest way to a real answer is a 30-minute call with our team to explore your resale goals.

How long does it take to launch?
Clean Out and Cash Out programs typically go live ~2 weeks. Branded Resale Shop and Bulk Consignment are 4–8 weeks depending on catalog size and any API integration.
Are there any setup fees or monthly costs?
No setup costs and no monthly costs, ever. Your only investment is a 30% brand gift card contribution (20% when paired with a Branded Resale Shop), which directly funds the gift cards your customers receive. ThredUp will automatically deduct your gift card contribution before sending your monthly payment, so there are no invoices to pay, no bills to manage, and no additional payments required.
How is this different from running a trade-in program ourselves?
We accept any brand, not just yours! Plus you skip the receive/grade/list/fulfill infrastructure, the customer service load, the marketplace, and the inventory risk.
Can I run more than one program?
Most of our top partners do. Clean Out + Resale Shop is the most common bundle (it unlocks the 80% gift-card co-fund). Cash Out is a Clean Out add-on. Bulk Consignment runs in parallel for inventory monetization.
