Who determines the price of my items?
Our staff sets the price on the consignment items, feel free to offer suggestions on products that may not be as well known to us. Prices are determined by condition, size and demand.
What percentage of the sale price will I receive?
Consignors who bring in neatly folded clothing, with all zippers and snaps done up will receive 50% of the sale price minus a 10% admin fee. For example, we price an item at $5, when you login to your account, you will see the item priced at $4.50 as the system has already removed the 10% fee. When the $5 items sells, you will receive 50% of $4.50. (This translates to 45% of the original sale price)
If we only keep 25% of your items due to the poor condition or items are not hanger-ready, you will only receive 25% of the sale.
How do I collect the funds for my sold items?
Once your item(s) is/are sold, your share is shown on your account and will remain there for one year from the date it is earned. Consignors can use the funds towards purchases in store, or request a payout. Please note that after one year of inactivity on your account any funds left in your consignor account expire.
