Seller Participation & Promotion
UPDATED FEBRUARY 2025: To ensure a successful sale, a $20 monthly marketing fee will be charged and deducted directly from your account or payout. This fee helps cover costs for marketing efforts such as Facebook Ads, printed flyers, yard signs, and more. While it's not required as it was in the past, I would absolutely LOVE if you could share the event a few times each month that your items are included in the sale. Spreading the word helps increase visibility and bring in more buyers, ultimately benefiting everyone involved. Your support means the world to me!
Items to Sell & Condition
All items must be in Very Good Used Condition (VGUC) or better, including New Without Tags (NWOT) and New With Tags (NWT). Accepted items include:
• Women’s & children’s clothing (Minnies)
• Jewelry & accessories
• New or like-new shoes
• Men’s clothing & swimwear
• Women’s swimsuits (must be NWT or NWOT, with liner intact)
You can list up to 50 clothing items (more with approval) and unlimited accessories. Shoes without original boxes will incur a $2 fee per pair to cover the cost of new boxes. Make sure your items are free of defects like fading, pilling, or stains.
Important: A $5 fee will be charged for each item pulled due to not meeting standards.
Additionally, sellers will be responsible for any refund and shipping costs if issues arise with shipped items.
Three-Month Commitment (Updated as of October 2024)
• Month 1: Items listed at tagged price.
• Month 2: 20% discount on unsold items.
• Month 3: 30% discount on remaining items.
After the third month ends, unsold items will be pulled, they can be picked up or donated, and payouts can be processed. Sellers can use their payout balance to shop in the boutique. Sellers may not pick up their items during this commitment.
Simplified Fee Structure:
The registration fee is replaced with a $2 per item charge each month, deducted from your payout. This fee covers operational costs, including seller portal, credit card machines, signage etc.
Item Tagging & Portal Use
• Seller Portal: All items must be entered into the portal before drop-off.
o Concierge Service: For a 10% fee, I can handle item entry, pricing, and tagging. (Bonnie sets pricing based upon items sold in boutique)
• Tags: Printed tags will be ready at drop-off, showing your price plus processing fees. As a seller who enters their own inventory, they will help tag utilizing the portal.
• Seller ID: Each seller receives a unique ID number. Items will be sorted by size and style on the sales floor.
• Expired/Picked Up Items: Sellers are responsible to mark their items as returned to seller once picked up.
Pricing
• Minimum price: 60% below retail. Any NWT items priced above may will be adjusted.
• Price suggestions from the portal please disregard.
• Returning sellers must re-activate items in the portal, change expiration date, and reduce prices by 30%.
• If your prices are above market value and you choose not to adjust, items may be declined.
Payments, W-9s & Taxes
• Sales Taxes: Collected and remitted by buyers on your behalf.
• W-9 Form: Required annually for payouts; failure to submit will hold your payout.
• Payouts: Please use the chat feature on the website to request payout. Payouts are processed the week resale weekend; (the week before I do drop off and the week of resale weekend is a bit more calm) options include keeping funds in your account or e-payment via direct deposit (with a $10 fee). No physical checks.
Liability & Ownership
LLPB is not responsible for damage, loss, or theft of items. All items must be personally owned or authorized for sale. Items dropped off cannot be withdrawn, and ownership disputes must be resolved privately.
LLPB Commission & Seller Fees
• Commission: 15% for in-person drop-offs; 20% for mailed-in items.
