Secondhand & Resale Platform Watch

Why this is recommended

A fee increase that takes 3 percent more from $5,000 of annual sales, a 1099-K threshold that changes tax filing, or a consignment closure before a payout is lost each returns the fee.

What the Tab covers

Who it is for

The 90 million Americans who buy or sell secondhand on Poshmark, Mercari, Depop, eBay, ThredUp, The RealReal, Vinted, Facebook Marketplace and OfferUp.

When it runs

Scope

Poshmark, Mercari, Depop, eBay, ThredUp, The RealReal, Vestiaire, Vinted, Grailed, StockX, GOAT, Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp, Rebag and Fashionphile fee and policy pages; IRS 1099-K rules; FTC and state actions on counterfeits and buyer protection; platform shutdown and bankruptcy filings

Suggested task

The objective your Tab starts with. You can edit every line of it once the Tab is yours.

Seller fee, buyer fee and payout changes at resale platforms, authentication and counterfeit policy changes, buyer protection and return rule changes, 1099-K threshold changes for casual sellers, platform shutdowns and consignment closures with payout deadlines, luxury resale price index moves, and enforcement actions on fake goods, with the platform and the change first.

Track secondhand marketplaces for US buyers and sellers. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days: seller fee, buyer protection fee, shipping and payout changes at Poshmark, Mercari, Depop, eBay, ThredUp, The RealReal, Vestiaire, Vinted, Grailed, StockX, GOAT, Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp, Rebag and Fashionphile with effective dates; authentication, counterfeit and prohibited item policy changes; buyer protection, return and dispute rule changes; IRS 1099-K threshold and reporting changes; platform shutdowns, consignment closures and bankruptcies with payout and item return deadlines; luxury and sneaker resale price index moves over 10 percent; and FTC or state enforcement on fake goods and platform practices. Prefer platform policy pages, IRS, FTC, court and established resale reporting; ignore reseller influencer tips. Put the platform and the change first in the title. Use high severity for a fee change over 2 points, a shutdown with a deadline, or a tax reporting change. Return no more than 6 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what changed, who it affects, the date, what to do, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
