How are my earnings calculated?

Asked 5 months ago
Earnings on ThredUp are calculated based on several factors related to the items you sell through their platform. When you send items to ThredUp, they are evaluated for quality and demand. The company assesses each piece of clothing and determines the selling price based on market trends, brand popularity, and condition. Once an item is listed for sale, ThredUp sets a suggested retail price. Typically, you will earn a percentage of this price when the item sells. The percentage you earn can vary depending on the selling price of the item. Generally, higher-priced items can lead to a larger percentage payout, while lower-priced items may have a different earnings structure. It is also important to note that ThredUp can occasionally run promotions or sales that may affect your earnings. For instance, if an item sells during a sale event, the final selling price may differ from the original listing price. Additionally, you must account for deductions if an item does not sell within a certain time frame or if you choose to have items returned to you. Understanding these elements can help you have a clear picture of your potential earnings and how they are influenced by various factors on the ThredUp platform.
