“Buying from ThreadUp is okay. I ordered a few items but pictures looked better than actual merchandise. Some were not worth it, I would say outdated. Selling items throug TreadUp not worth your efforts. Donating is better experience.”

“I just ordered 2 items from ThredUp and two days later the order was canceled. The message "there was a problem with your order and it was unfortunately cancelled. We have processed a refund to your original payment method." I received my refund, but I see the items I ordered back online at a higher price. I guess they didn't like the sale price so just canceled my order. Very shady way of doing business”

“2 items purchased could not be found in warehouse One Johnny was top was described as Very Good no major flaws - missing button, torn seam on side of blouse Too much effort to return. You have to pay for shipping back and there is a fee of each return.”

“I'm not mailing my clothes to Thred Up again. If you shop the store you'll see that many of the clothing pieces don't include measurements, especially the final sales. The repeat the same pieces to keep you engaged and when you find a good looking sweater or blazer that may slightly fitted, you'll not see measurements. Who buys tops, blazers, or sweaters online without knowing bust size?”

“This company is an absolute scam in every sense of the word. I sent in my clean out bag in September, only a fraction of the items were posted even though a majority of them had tags and had never been worn. All of the posted items were listed as either "Very Good" or "Excellent," HOWEVER please don't expect to make any money on any of your listings. So far I'm on track to making a whopping $0.15. I'll try my best to not spend it all in one place, but no promises.”

“This company are notorious fraudsters am a victim on this company from UNITED KINGDOM lost €76,000 in an investment scam from France. The scam involved a grouped of people who claimed to work from an office in United Kingdom,. I was a victim who was encouraged to invest in “with this company CALLED thredup-com” and initially allowed me to withdraw small amounts of money which built trust on me . After losing €76,000 to this company, they persuaded me to deposit more money of around 60,000 Euros which I did. When I realized it was a scam,and attempted to withdraw the whole profit of €136,000 from this company they blocked my withdrawal Despite providing evidence such as wire transfer details and conversations with the scammer, I was not able to make my withdrawals and has unable to recover my funds, I contacted the SEC and the FBI immediately I was referred to a recovery expertise called Ai xaLTD.COM anti fraud group of companies with the help of Ai xaLTD.COM, i recovered all my funds back and this company is under FBI investigations justice is sure !!”

“OK to buy- DO NOT sell. Two months long wait to have inventory processed (an issue if seasonal attire has been included) and 15$ service fee. I've sold 2 items (in the past) and did not make any money(even though they were sold for over 20$ each). I recently sent in a slew of clothing that will not be processed for 2 months and will most likely "expire" . After contacting customer service, their only statement is that they are inundated with kits, and cannot help w/ this issue at this time.”

“Buying from ThredUp is fine, but DO NOT sell your clothes to them. They charge you $14.99 in fees and whatever you sell puts your balance negative until you've sold enough to cover that fee. ThredUp sold quite a few of my items for $20-30 but then my payout was less than $2 per item. The majority of my clothes "expired" and so I didn't make any money on them. ThredUP offered to send them back to me, but I would have to pay full shipping (on top of the $14.99 fee). Basically, they got a TON of my nice, brand name clothes for FREE and then kept 100% of money that they sold for. Never again.”

“Do not order on this site!!!!!They are selling a lot of fake merchandise. I received a fake Gucci bag from Tokyo and they will not refund my money. It was almost $400. It was supposed to be a used bag and it was a new fake bag like you would find on the streets of NYC. I also received a fake Brandy Melville shirt and a pair of fake White House Black market shorts. Some stuff is real but do not take the chance. There are no phone numbers to call. Bad customer service!!!!!!!!!!”

“I’ve bought stuff from Thredup before twice. The first time, my experience was ok. Two of the tops that I bought were described as “Excellent,” but one had missing embellishments and another had a tiny hole. Luckily, the flaws weren’t that noticeable, so I didn’t mind. An item that I bought was also wrongly labeled. I bought it thinking it was from Urban Outfitters, but it actually wasn’t. I didn’t do anything though. I bought again recently, and the experience was terrible. One of the items that I initially purchased turned out to be a fake Brandy Melville. Luckily, I emailed them before my order shipped, so the item was canceled. I also bought a pair of jeans, thinking that the condition was “Excellent” as I filtered my search results, but when I purchased it and refreshed the listing page, the item’s condition was changed to “Very Good.” Then, as if things couldn’t get worse, I also got sweatpants, which were listed as size 0, but when I opened up my package, the sweatpants were huge and plus sized. I immediately emailed them, but the response took forever. Fortunately they said they refunded me and allowed me to keep the item, saving me from returning it. While my issues were handled decently, there’s too many risks when it comes to purchasing on Thredup. Therefore, this will be my last purchase. Stay away from Thredup at all costs.”

“I would have given zero stars if that was an option. Explain to me how I sent in 30 items, 17 of which were accepted and ALL of which were in impeccable condition (many never worn), and somehow ended up making NO money??? thredUp is a scam. Don't bother.”

“First time ordering and they took my coupon out of my cart when I had problems with my login. I ignored it because I really wanted the item. Took them 5 days to tell me they couldn't locate the item? By the reviews seems like a theme. Is this company making money off keeping your money for a week before giving a refund 🤔”

“I recently bought a few things from ThredUp. Only one of the items was as described. The pair of work out shorts was listed in excellent condition and the waist band was so stretched out that they wouldn't even stay on. Same for a pair of sandals. I reached out online and all I could get was saying how to return and how much shipping back would be, etc. So I took the next step to email staing the issue. I've now sent 4 emails with absolutey NO REPONSE BACK. I shold not have to pay for return shipping when what I bought was not described accurately. So now I'm stuck with these things and WILL NEVER buy or recommend ThredUp to anybody. I'll stick with Poshmark and other sites. This was a huge disappointment and lack of any type of customer service.”

“I only shopped once but I never will again. The stuff isn't very cheap eventhough I got everything supposedly at half off. I bought a pair of Ralph Lauren pants that were listed very good and it is missing the button. If I had paid $4 for pants without a button then sure, I can fix that and be happy about it but I paid $18. Then I got a faux leather skirt with the tags still on and when it arrived, it had a hole that looked like a mouse had eaten through it. I spent over $200 on this stuff. Now that I'veseen the items, they should have been priced no more than $8 each. I feel like the thrift influencers are getting kick backs because the quality is not there. I'll stick to going inside the thrift store so I can inspect items myself. What a rip off!!”

“I have been a buying and selling customer for many years. However, that ends now. I send back more items than I keep now due to poor quality, size issues or poor descriptions. Selling is no longer worth it to me. The handling fee is ridiculous because that should be their cost for doing business. My portion of the sale price has gotten smaller as well. Plus, they pay me nothing for some items that they sell but claim are not brands they pay for. There is no longer any advantage to me to sell here. This was a fun, profitable resale option in the beginning. Not Now! I don't recommend buyig or selling here anymore. Too Bad”
