Compare · ThredUp

ThredUp alternative in LA, without the bulk-bin payouts.

ThredUp is the most hands-off way to clear out a closet: mail a bag, walk away, and get paid a percentage as items sell. But payouts on typical pieces are low, and you lose control once you ship. Sell with Lo is the local trade: free LA pickup, your pieces photographed and priced at real market value across Poshmark, Depop, and Instagram, and you keep 40% of each actual sale after platform fees.

Choose ThredUp if…

Common questions

Does ThredUp or local consignment pay more?
It depends on your items. ThredUp's payouts on typical pieces are low because it's built for bulk volume. For genuinely sellable pieces, 40% of a real market sale after platform fees through full-service consignment usually beats a bulk-bin payout, with the work handled for you locally.
What is the ThredUp service fee?
ThredUp deducts a $14.99 (Standard) or $34.99 (Premium) service fee from your earnings after items sell. Sell with Lo has no upfront fees. Our 60% share only comes out of a completed sale.
What happens to items that don't sell on ThredUp?
About 38% of accepted ThredUp items don't sell in their window, and you can only reclaim them in the last 7 days. Sell with Lo keeps listing and adjusting price for 90 days, then returns or donates anything unsold, your call.
Is there a ThredUp alternative in Los Angeles?
Yes. Sell with Lo is a local, full-service alternative — free LA pickup, real market pricing, and you keep 40% of each sale after platform fees, with a real person in Koreatown handling everything.
