Enter your cost and the expected listing price. Kickflip applies ThredUp's sliding consignment payout to show what actually reaches you.
Fee estimates use the primary tier rate from each platform's public schedule. Tiered pricing, promotion rates, and buyer-fee ranges vary — always confirm current rates with the platform before listing.
ThredUp is consignment, not a marketplace: it sets the price and pays you a percentage that rises steeply with the item's sale price:
| Category / tier | Selling fee | Payment processing | Buyer-side fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| Consignment ($5.00 - $19.99 price)Seller payout is 3% - 15% of sale price | 85.0% - 97.0% | $0.00 | $0.00 |
| Consignment ($20.00 - $49.99 price)Seller payout is 15% - 30% of sale price | 70.0% - 85.0% | $0.00 | $0.00 |
| Consignment ($50.00 - $99.99 price)Seller payout is 30% - 60% of sale price | 40.0% - 70.0% | $0.00 | $0.00 |
| Consignment ($100.00 - $199.99 price)Seller payout is 60% - 80% of sale price | 20.0% - 40.0% | $0.00 | $0.00 |
| Consignment ($200.00+ price)Seller payout is 80% - 90% of sale price | 10.0% - 20.0% | $0.00 | $0.00 |
Rates change. Treat these as estimates and confirm against ThredUp's current published fee schedule before you commit to a purchase.
An item that sells for $10 can return as little as 3% — thirty cents. Only above roughly $50 does the payout scale become competitive, and above $200 it reaches 80–90%, which is better than any marketplace commission.
That shape has one clear implication for resellers: ThredUp is for premium and designer pieces. Anything mid-tier is worth more to you on a marketplace where you keep 80% regardless of price.
The trade you are making is labour for money. ThredUp photographs, lists, stores and ships everything; you post a bag. For someone clearing a wardrobe that is an excellent deal. For a reseller pricing their time against a Poshmark or eBay payout, it only works at the top of the price scale.
Compare the same garment as a Poshmark or Depop listing above before you send the bag — the difference on a $60 item is substantial.
Between 3% and 15% on items priced $5–$19.99, 15–30% on $20–$49.99, 30–60% on $50–$99.99, 60–80% on $100–$199.99, and 80–90% on items over $200.
The payout scale is deliberately steep at the low end. On sub-$20 items ThredUp keeps most of the sale to cover photographing, storing and shipping the item for you.
Mainly for premium and designer items above $100, where the payout percentage is genuinely competitive and you avoid all the listing work. Below that, a marketplace almost always nets more.
There is no listing fee — the consignment split is the cost. Some return and reclaim options carry separate charges.
