Cons: Range limited to Hanna Anderson products only.

Parents can start by creating a "shop" that displays photos of the clothes they want to sell. Just like with Hanna-Me-Downs, once the item is sold, you will be given a shipping label and Kidizen will keep 12% plus $0,50 of the sale. Kidizen has created such a loyal customer community that Tea Collection became a partner of the site.

pros: If you are short on time, you can contact a Style Scout in your area to sell your clothes.

Cons: Style Scout will take half of your profits.

Out&Back

Kids wear outdoor and winter clothes for only a few months out of the year, and when the cold weather sets in again, they outgrow their nearly new hoodies and jackets. Answer a few questions about what you sell on the site Out&Back, and you can either ship your items with a prepaid shipping label or drop them off at your chosen location.

The system will award points for what you send. Points are determined by several factors such as condition, brand, size and demand - from level 1 to level 5. You can use these points to purchase clothing of a similar category. Let's say, if the clothes you sold were assigned level 2, you can exchange them for other items of the same level 2.
