Should I sell on Kidia?
We sell current basic fashion for children and adults
At Kidia, we specialise in recycling current clothing, shoes and accessories purchased less than 5 years ago - for children and adults alike. In addition to clothes, we also sell toys, games, children's books and various children's accessories.
We sell the brands that Finns are familiar with - both more affordable everyday basics and higher quality and value branded clothing. Instead, we do not sell ultra-fashion (such as Shein or similar) or fake products. We are not the best place to sell vintage fashion.
Reasonably new products in good condition are circulating fast!
Curated selection - We check all products
We go through every product brought to us manually and decide whether to put it on sale or not. To be sold about 75 % for products imported to us. Please note that we will not sell all the products you bring to us, but we will select the ones that are suitable for us to sell.
It's important to us that shoppers are happy and find quality, clean and interesting products. A well-curated selection also serves you as a seller - when customers trust us, more products find a new home.
We check the condition of every garment carefully. We spot stains and holes in products. We do not sell clothes that have wash marks or have a shabby overall appearance. We exclude from sale knickers that are baggy and shoes that are untidy. Most of all, we exclude from sale shirts and jackets with stained cuffs or collars.
We also take the season into account - we sell clothes at just the right time.
Why might not all your products be selected for sale?
We see a huge number of products every week, and we know from experience which ones move well and which ones stay on the shelves.
As a result, we may sometimes not sell products that you think are suitable for sale. We do not do this randomly, but base our decisions on perceived demand and customer insight.
Your product may be withdrawn from sale if:
- The product does not meet current customer needs
- Similar products have not been sold in the past
- There are too many products in a given category (e.g. jackets)
- The product is not suitable for us
- The price of the product is so low that it does not make sense to sell it
Our price level is reasonable
At Kidia, we keep our prices reasonable and sell basic clothing at low prices. We want second hand shopping to be sensible and profitable.
If you have a particularly valuable item coming up for sale, you can always send us a price request - we'll be happy to consider it.
What will the seller be left with?
When the sales period ends, we split the accumulated sales proceeds in half. You will then pay for your remaining share:
- an initial fee of 11,90 € and
- a handling fee of €0.60 for each product accepted for sale.
If many of your products are not suitable for sale with us, your share may be smaller. Please also note that you cannot bring in new products to replace those we did not select for sale.
Most of our customers make a comfortable profit, and we very rarely make a loss. However, it's worth remembering that in a full-service second-hand sale, we do most of the work for you - so the returns aren't quite as high as if you did it all yourself, for example in an online shop.
