Why We're SO Excited About Our Resale Matrix

For the past several weeks, we’ve been working on a little tool that is about to be your new best friend: TSL’s exclusive Resale Matrix.

When we first started working on the matrix, it was actually intended to be an internal resource to help us get our own ducks in a row and organize basic facts about various popular digital resale platforms. So, for example, when chatting with the community or doing an Instagram Live, we could easily reference the commission schedule for The RealReal, check the return policy for Fashionphile, and remind ourselves where Rebag ships. You get the idea. But we realized this resource was SO valuable that it only made sense to share it with resale lovers everywhere, whether you’re just getting started or an experienced veteran. So here’s the situation:

  • The Resale Matrix is available as a Google Sheet and a branded, downloadable PDF

  • The Resale Matrix is updated automatically over time — meaning it won’t be be outdated in three months. Our team keeps it updated so you’ll always have the latest information at your fingertips.

  • The Resale Matrix compares some of the top digital resale and consignment platforms: Depop, Fashionphile, Poshmark, Rebag, Reluxe, The RealReal, thredUP, Tradesy, Vestiare Collective, and Vinted. We’ll add/subtract platforms as it makes sense.

  • The Resale Matrix looks at important dimensions across these platforms, including: Negotiations, Return Policy, Authentication Policy, Brand Spectrum, What You Can Buy and Sell, Listing Fees, Commission Structure, Payout Time Periods, Shipping, Countries Served, and more. We even apply a unique Effort Score to help you instantly get a sense of how much time and energy you can expect to apply to get the most out of the platform.

  • The Resale Matrix is included in all Club Sequin memberships, or available for purchase separately starting the week of July 4 2022. For a short time only, you’ll be able to get the Resale Matrix for $29 before it kicks up to $49. In case you’re trying to do the math in your head, it’s a no-brainer to snag the Resale Matrix through the Club membership.

We can’t WAIT to share this resource with you (Club Sequin members already have had a sneak peek!) and know you’re going to love and use this cheat-sheet over and over. Seriously, we do ALL the research for you so you can actually focus on what matters — not digging through support pages, scrolling through FAQs, or wasting time on a high-effort platform when you only have so much time in the day to dedicate to selling and buying. The Resale Matrix makes navigating digital resale easy.
