Frequently asked questions
Factual answers about how HushaBuy currently works. Program terms can change; see Terms for the full legal text.
What is HushaBuy?
HushaBuy is a marketplace for buying and selling gently used baby and toddler clothes, shoes, and soft accessories in sizes newborn through 5T.
Is HushaBuy like kids consignment online?
HushaBuy is kids to kids consignment: parents list gently used baby and toddler clothes from their closets, and other parents buy them. Listing is free. Sellers pay no fees and keep 100% of the item price. The 12% + $1 marketplace fee is paid by the buyer, plus USPS shipping at checkout.
How do I sell baby clothes online?
Go to the Sell page, add photos and details, and publish. Listing is free (minimum $5.00). Sellers pay no fees and keep 100% of the asking price. The 12% + $1.00 marketplace fee is paid by the buyer, plus USPS shipping at checkout.
How do marketplace fees work?
Sellers pay no fees and keep 100% of the item (or accepted offer) price. The 12% + $1.00 marketplace fee is paid by the buyer at checkout, plus USPS shipping and any sales tax. HushaBuy does not deduct a seller commission from the item price.
Do sellers pay listing fees?
Listing is free. Sellers pay no fees. The minimum listing price is $5.00. You keep 100% of the asking price or accepted offer. The 12% + $1.00 marketplace fee is paid by the buyer.
How does shipping work?
Shipping is USPS Ground Advantage, priced by package size: Mini (up to 8 oz) $6.50, Small (up to 1 lb) $8.50, Medium (up to 3 lb) $11.50, or Large (up to 5 lb) $14.50. Nothing over 5 lb can be listed. Items from the same seller ship together in the smallest size that fits, and an order over 5 lb has to be split. After a sale, HushaBuy creates a prepaid USPS label through Shippo from the seller’s ship-from address and emails it to the seller. If USPS bills an adjustment because the seller under-declared the package size, that adjustment may be deducted from the seller’s payout. Sellers ship within 7 days. Payment is held until 3 days after delivery confirmation.
How do offers work?
Buyers can send an offer on an active listing. Offers must be at least 50% of the list price and expire in 24 hours. If a seller accepts, the item can be reserved for that buyer for 24 hours to complete checkout.
How does HushaBuy handle children’s faces in photos?
Listings should not include children’s faces. When a photo is uploaded, HushaBuy can detect faces and asks the seller to cover them before the photo is saved. Only clothing, shoes, and soft accessories may be listed—no car seats, cribs, recalled items, or hard goods.
What is the Founding Seller program?
The first 25 sellers with 5 live listings become Founding Sellers and receive a permanent numbered badge. Benefits described on the Founding Seller page include that badge, a shop ranking boost, and a homepage spotlight. Site credit already granted stays available for purchases only, with no cash value and no Stripe payout. New sales do not add the earlier per-sale Founding Seller credit.
How do referrals work?
List 5 live items for a one-time $5 site credit. Share your /r/CODE link from Account. When a friend you invite lists 5 live items within 30 days of signing up, you each get another $5. Rewards are site credit only (no cash, no Stripe transfer), expire 12 months after they are granted, and apply at checkout only when HushaBuy enables incentive credits.
