How It Works — WishThrift

Simple & Transparent

How WishThrift works

Buy and sell branded fashion locally in minutes. Our platform handles payments, escrow, and trust — you just find great clothes near you.

For Sellers

List. Sell. Get paid.

No upfront fees. No listing limits. Just 5% when you make a sale — and 0% if you’re one of our first 100 founding sellers.

Create Your Closet

Sign up free, set up your seller profile, and launch your public WishThrift closet. Buyers can browse your full inventory in one place.

List Any Branded Item

Upload photos, set your price, add brand and condition. List unlimited items — hoodies, jeans, sneakers, bags, anything branded.

Buyer Pays Securely

When a buyer purchases, their payment goes into escrow. You’re notified instantly. Ship within 3 days or arrange local pickup.

Get Paid Fast

Once the buyer confirms receipt (or 7 days pass), 95% of the sale transfers to your account. Founding sellers keep 100% minus Stripe’s fee only.

For Buyers

Find it. Buy it. Love it.

Shop second hand clothes online with confidence. Every purchase is protected by escrow until you confirm you’re happy.

Browse Near You

Set your location and use our radius slider (5, 10, 25, or 50 miles) to see branded fashion from sellers nearest to you first.

Buy or Make an Offer

Purchase at the listed price or send the seller an offer. They can accept, counter, or decline — no awkward conversations.

Pay Securely

Checkout with Stripe. Your money is held in secure escrow — the seller doesn’t receive it until you’re satisfied.

Confirm & Done

Receive your item, tap “Confirm Receipt” and the seller gets paid. Not happy? Raise a dispute before confirming.

Payment Protection

Escrow keeps every transaction safe

When a buyer pays, funds are held in secure escrow — not released until the buyer confirms receipt or 7 days elapse automatically.

Buyers can’t be scammed. Sellers can’t be reversed after shipping. Everyone is protected.

1Buyer pays → funds enter escrow
2Seller ships within 3 days + enters tracking
3Buyer confirms receipt OR 7-day auto-release
4Seller receives 95% (founders receive 100% minus Stripe)

Local Pickup

No shipping? No problem.

When buyer and seller are near each other, arrange a safe public meetup. Buyer still pays through the platform — so funds are protected even for local pickups.
