Now introducing Curtsy Clear Out: The Fastest Way to Sell 💸

Clear Out is a convenient way to sell more than 3 items quickly. You only make one listing for all your items that sell via auction to members of our Wholesale program.

For when you have little time, but a lot to sell

Selling clothes online should be simple. After months of research, we learned that the number one reason people don’t sell their clothes is because it takes too much time. Especially when they have a lot to sell. That’s why we’re launching Clear Out, a simpler way to sell.

While listing one item at a time is still the best way to maximize your earnings on each item, Clear Out is the best way to sell a lot of clothes, with a fraction of the work.

How Does Clear Out Work?

To get started just tap ‘sell’ at the bottom of your app and select the new Clear Out option.

Compared with normal, single item listings that are live on the app until they sell, Clear Out listings have 3 or more items and sell via auction over 7 days to members of our Wholesale Program. 

At the end of the week, you’ll ship out all your items in one bag to the highest bidder. We’ll even mail you the bag and the prepaid shipping label to use. It’s that simple.

Here’s what our users are saying

We’re so excited to share this feature with you. If you’d like more info, watch our video or send us a message in the app. If you’re interested in learning more the Wholesale program, send us a message.

We know Clear Out may not be perfect from day one, so we’d love to hear from you on how we can continue to improve it ([email protected]).

We’re excited for your feedback!

No Seller Fees For the First Time Ever 💥#ReverseBlackFriday

We’re flipping the switch this Black Friday. To encourage cleanout over consumption, we’re waiving ALL seller fees on new items listed from Friday, Nov 25 through Sunday, Nov 27.

#ReverseBlackFriday

Over 85% of textiles produced end up in landfills. In America alone, that amounts to about 81 lbs of clothing per person, yearly. With Reverse Black Friday, we’ve envisioned a fun way to keep fashion out of landfills and help folks earn extra money for the holidays.

This is the perfect time to do something about that pile of clothes you don’t wear anymore… the ones that you’ve been meaning to do something about for months. List any item on Curtsy from Friday, Nov 25 through Sunday, Nov 27 with no seller fees.

Questions about Reverse Black Friday?

Check out our FAQ below or send us an email at [email protected].

  • When is the promotion? You can start listing items for zero seller fees anytime on November 25. All items must be listed by midnight November 27th to have no fees
  • What are seller fees normally? Our seller fees are $1 + 5% of sale price + 2.9% payment processing fee
  • Are seller fees waived for all items? Yes, all items that are typically allowed on Curtsy are included in this promotion. You can read our Seller FAQ to learn more about what items we allow on Curtsy
  • What if the item sells after the promotion ends? If you list an item from Nov 25 through Nov 27, it won’t ever have seller fees, no matter when it sells
  • Are you also doing a typical Black Friday sale? To encourage cleanout over consumption, our only Black Friday promotion is to waive seller fees 11.25 – 11.27 🙂
  • Is there a limit to the amount I can post? Nope! You can post as many items as you’d like
  • Do I need to do anything to get no seller fees? Nope! As long as you list your items from Nov 25 through Nov 27, your items will automatically have zero seller fees
  • Does this affect the items I already have listed on Curtsy? Our Black Friday promotion is only for new items listed on Curtsy and does not affect any items you already have listed
  • Can I make drafts before Friday Nov 25 to post during the promotion? Any draft made before Friday Nov 25 will still have seller fees.

Happy listing!

Today we’re launching Try Ons: It’s like TikTok for resale

Try Ons are a new way to shop and sell with video. Scroll, shop, and list videos, seamlessly in the app.


Read WWD’s feature story about Curtsy’s new Try On feature: https://wwd.com/business-news/technology/curtsy-video-fashion-resale-1235293389/

We believe the future of resale is video

Shopping resale and selling your clothes online shouldn’t be hard. Try Ons create a unique way for sellers to show their clothes in action, letting buyers easily see all the details of the item.

We’re launching Try Ons because we believe it’s a faster way to post items, and, they’ll sell sooner because buyers can easily see the material and fit of items. 

While a picture is worth a thousand words, a video is worth a thousand pictures.

How Do Try Ons Work?

When you post your item, you’ll see a new Try On option to add a video to your listing, alongside the current photos option. You can list an item with photos, a Try On video, or you can add both!

The best way to show your item is to model it so buyers can see how the item fits. You can also show the item on a hanger, or a simple surface, if you don’t want to model it. This works well for things like sneakers, accessories, or any items that no longer fit!

Pro tips for taking videos

  • Make sure the item is in full view
  • Good lighting is key so you can see the item clearly
  • Include a clip showing any damage or flaws
  • Zoom in on the item to show details and multiple angles

Here’s what our users are saying

We’re so excited to share this feature and hope you have as much fun using it as we did creating it. If you’d like more info, watch our video or send us a message in the app. 

We know the Try On feature may not be perfect from day one, so we’d love to hear from you on how we can continue to improve it ([email protected]).

We’re excited for your feedback!

Cheers 🥰

Introducing the Curtsy Website

Since we launched in Spring 2016 the only way to use Curtsy was on your phone. Today we’re announcing our new website that will let you shop on your computer at curtsyapp.com

To celebrate, we’re giving everyone 20% off their first purchase on the website this week! Promo: WEBSITE


Using Curtsy is now easier than it’s ever been. Without being confined to a 3″ screen, you can browse, shop, and explore with more visibility and ease.  You can also use Curtsy in those places you shouldn’t have your phone out… wherever that may be. And now, non iPhone/iOS users now have access use Curtsy for the first time ever.

We’d love to hear what you think about the new website, so shoot any questions/comments our way 🙂 – [email protected]

We’re excited for this next adventure,

Why did you open up the pop-up?

We figured it was time to open an official location after our Campus Director, Olivia Kercher, ended up with 600+ dresses in the guest bedroom of her house. Shout-out to her roommates who let the un-offical Curtsy Closet take over their house.
