    —- Click here for a list of things we do and don’t accept and a list of the categories you can choose from in the online system.

  • You, our crew & consignors, are our BEST inspectors! So, we’re going to pay you to do it! What? Yep! Carefully inspect all your items at home (and again when you put it in the car and one more time when you take it out and then again when you place it on the sales floor!) because your fellow consignors/shoppers now make $$$ on your mistakes.

    Crew & Consignor shopping time is now known as INSPECT & SHOP. Seriously, you’re sifting through those racks with a fine tooth comb anyway so we’re going to pay you $1 in shopping credit/coupon for every “not up to par” item you find and pull off the rack. AND . . .we’ll charge that dollar to the seller whose item it is (subtracted from proceeds) Fines are doubled if you have more than 5 sub-par items.

    Note: Presale Shoppers who are not consignors can also cash in on this coupon! We put up signs throughout the venue specifically inviting them to search! To avoid fines, you must thoroughly inspect your items and pledge to bring us only your best. And finally . . .don’t forget that items returned as broken or with missing pieces incur BIG fines (1.5 times the price of the item!) Double jeopardy: if you have more than 5 items “turned in” then those fines double!! It’s definitely in your best interest to inspect your own things and bring only your best!

  • Please please please read the guide on this. It’s updated! (there’s a 20 item limit per seller on Teen Girls sizes) AND it’s the easiest that it has ever been. Use the categories Teen Girl Clothing and Teen Boy Clothing Both genders now have the S,M,L sizing options. REACH OUT if you need clarification! Find that guide HERE

  • Use the categories Infant Clothing-Boy and Infant Clothing-Girl for all clothing that is sized Preemie through 18-24m. There is a 50 item limit per gender across the entire range of infant sizes .

    We limit the amount of infant clothing we accept because we know how much of it we can sell! There are a lot of great NWT/ never worn/got it as a gift pieces!

    Pricing competitively is super important in these sizes.

    Find more details HERE.

  • Yes, PayPal, at around 10 business days (2 weeks) after sale close, to the email address-your account number- that YOU entered when you first acquired an account with MyConsignmentManager.

Everything not picked up will be offered for sale at 75% off on Sunday! You can find more info on Pick-Up here.

  • . . . to the first 500 paid & registered OR to the first 75,000 tags entered (whichever comes first!!) YES! We are getting smaller and more curated by design!

This is the only account number we have for you and we will not edit it. (You can edit it in your MYCM profile if you like and then that’s where you will get all our correspondence)

Everyone is first paid via Pay Pal mass payment to that email address. If the money is not claimed, PayPal may alert your via an email that you have money and ask you what you’d like to do about it. PayPal will definitely alert us (in the form of a list) of all the people who have not claimed their $ at the 30 day mark. PayPal will return any unclaimed money to our account, 30 days after payments go out, once the money is returned to us, we will send you a check. (Note: this happens with fewer than 10 sellers each season! You can figure this out.) Questions?
