Second hand fashion selling service

The agreement to sell items on your behalf is based on the information you tell us about being accurate and truthful, and on the following general assumptions we make about your items (the “Assumptions”) before accepting them:

  • Items pass our condition quality standards. Namely that items are clean and have no signs of wear, damage or alterations. No underwear, socks, lingerie.

  • Items are from one our accepted brands. Guidance is given on our what sells page and if still unsure you should contact us to check.

  • Not counterfeit, faulty or unauthorised/replica branded goods

  • Items are not stolen and are yours to sell

If an item, or batch of items, does not satisfy our acceptance criteria Assumptions we reserve the right to refuse to sell the item. Items which are refused for sale are donated to a charity partner, recycled or can be returned for a £6 fee to cover the postage.

Selling & Payment Process

We will list your items for sale on one or more online marketplace platforms, namely our own website and Ebay store. We will use our experience and analysis of historical data to decide the price at which it is listed with the aim of maximising the price at which it is sold.

By entering into an agreement with us, you agree to accept the market sales price at which an item is sold for and will not contest it if it is below your expectations. You will be able to view your live listings and are free to contact us to change the price or delist the items if you so wish.

We will list your items for sale for an initial period of 60 days. We expect that to be long enough to find a buyer for your items with genuine resale potential. We may offer an extension to the listing period if we think your items could benefit. At the end of the listing period, we will send you an itemised receipt of your successful sales with a breakdown of your payout as per our payout structure below. We will transfer your payout to you via bank transfer or Paypal to the account requested by you. Any unsold items will be donated to a charity partner, recycled or can be returned for a £6 postage fee.

Payouts

Your payout for a successful sale is a percentage of an item’s sale proceeds.

For the first £30 of every sale you receive 40%, and for the portion of the price over £30 you get 70%. Minus a £1 per item selling fee.

Sale proceeds represents the price net of 3rd party transactions costs, i.e the amount you would receive if selling yourself on an online marketplace like eBay. This charge is 11%+£0.30 (+VAT). Sale proceeds is used as the basis of the payout calculation as It allows you to see the true incremental cost of using our selling service.

Returns

In the event that a buyer for your items requests a refund and return as a result of a failure to comply with the agreement of these Terms and the aforementioned Assumptions (e.g selling a counterfeit item through us) you agree that we have the right to rescind or terminate any agreement with immediate effect. We reserve the right to return the items to you and you will refund the sale price to us to cover the full refund of the buyer.

Goods damaged or lost while under our care

We take every effort to take care of your goods after we receive them. In the unlikely event that an item is damaged or lost while under our care, we will compensate you as follows: (1) if the item is listed with a confirmed bid you will be compensated as if the sale had gone through at the price as per our standard Payout structure; (2) If the item is listed but does not have a confirmed bid we will compensate you as if the sale had gone through at 40% of the initial listing price, (3) if the item is yet to be listed, we have no way of identifying the item and hence we are unable to offer any compensation.

Goods lost during courier transit are the responsibility of the courier (Collect+), not ReThread. Our returns provider compensates up to £40 per bag. ReThread will not compensate for any items lost/damaged/stolen before we have received them.

Charity bonus offer

If a customer seeks to make a charitable donation from the funds raised through our service, we pledge to top-up that donation by 10%. We will first transfer the funds to the customer as per the normal process and wait for proof (e.g a JustGiving page receipt) of donation from the customer to the chosen charity. We will then make the 10% top-up payment to the charity via the same route.
