ThredUp is a fashion resale platform.
Platform
editThredUp allows users to trade in secondhand items and earn shopping credit toward purchasing clothes from others. They also provide an online consignment platform for traditional retailers.[1]
The New York Times in 2019 reported that ThredUp showed "clearly deceptive" notices of recent purchases on its website to other customers, an instance of what the publication described as "dark patterns", deceptive tactics used in user interface.[2] The company told the New York Times that the notices used "real data", but fake names and locations "to be sensitive to privacy"; the company did not respond when asked if the notices reflected real purchases.[2]
Corporate affairs
editThredUp went public with an initial public offering in March 2021.[3][4][5][excessive citations]
In August 2022, ThredUp announced that they would be reducing their workforce size to focus on profitability in anticipation of market shifts.[6]
