Hey there, fellow sellers and savvy shoppers!

If you’ve been following my journey lately, you know things have been moving fast. I recently took an incredible vacation to Cancun, and let me tell you, nothing clears the mind like white sand and turquoise water. It was the perfect time to reflect on where Power Selling Mom is headed as we move deeper into 2026.

Stepping away from the daily “hustle” reminded me how important it is to protect our most valuable asset: time. As a one-woman show (with a little help from some amazing AI tools!), I’ve made some strategic shifts so I can give every item I represent the world-class attention it deserves.

Today, I’m sharing the updated 2026 Consignment Terms. These updates streamline the process, maximize your profits, and focus on what the market is truly craving right now: high-end, quality goods.

The High-End Shift: Why the $100 Minimum?

The reselling landscape has changed. According to recent market reports, the luxury resale market is expected to hit over $41 billion this year. Furthermore, consumers are moving away from “fast fashion” and toward the “circular economy,” looking for archival pieces, quiet luxury labels, and items that hold their value.

To keep up with this demand and maintain the level of service my clients expect, I now only accept high-end consignment items with a minimum market value of $100 per item.

Why the change? It’s simple: quality over quantity. By focusing on higher-ticket items, I can spend more time on deep-dive research, professional photography, and multi-channel marketing to help your items sell for top dollar. For instance, a vintage Chanel bag, a pristine piece of Loro Piana, or a collectible Leica camera needs a specialized touch, and I’m proud to provide it.

Understanding the 2026 Consignment Terms

Transparency is everything in this business. I want you to know exactly how I handle your items and how the profit is split. Here is the breakdown of our 2026 policy.

1. The Listing Fee: $5.00

Charging a flat $5.00 listing fee for every item accepted. I know what you’re thinking: “Wait, do I pay that now?” Nope! I deduct this fee from the total only after the item sells.

This fee covers the “behind-the-scenes” magic that helps your items get noticed:

Professional Research: Identifying the exact brand, year, and market trend.
Photography & Editing: High-resolution shots that make your items pop.
Detailed Measurements: Reducing returns by giving buyers exactly what they need.
AI-Optimized Listings: Using modern technology to rank higher in search results.
Secure Storage: I keep your items in a climate-controlled, professional environment until they find their new home.

2. The Profit Split: 50/50 Based on the Gross Sale Price

We are partners in this! For 2026, we will continue a 50/50 split based on the gross final sale price. That means we split the sale price evenly first. From the consignor’s share, the consignor pays all marketplace fees plus the $5.00 listing fee.

In most cases, the buyer pays shipping, so I do not deduct it from the sale price. However, marketplaces like eBay and Poshmark have their own fee structures, so your share will reflect those costs. Consequently, the process stays simple, clear, and easy to understand.

3. Global Marketplace Exposure

Your items aren’t just sitting in a closet, they are on a world tour! One of the biggest benefits of working with me is that I cross-list your items across multiple high-traffic platforms. In addition, I choose platforms based on where your specific item can get the most “eyes.” It may be listed on:

eBay & Etsy: For global reach and vintage enthusiasts.
Poshmark, Mercari, & Depop: For trendy fashion and high-end streetwear.
Grailed: Specifically for high-end menswear and designer archives.
Instagram & Facebook: Tapping into social commerce trends.

The Lifecycle of Your Item: Pricing Strategy

The goal is always to sell your item for the highest possible price in the shortest amount of time. However, the market can be unpredictable. Here is how I manage the “life” of a listing:

Months 1–6: I list items at current market value with room for reasonable offers.
After 6 Months: If an item hasn’t moved, we “bump it up” by dropping the price to attract new buyers.
After 1 Year: I typically move unsold items to an auction format to trigger a final sale.
The 2-Year Mark: If an item remains unsold after two years, I pull it from inventory. At that point, the item becomes my property, and I typically donate it to a local charity to support those in need.

Returns and Cancellations

I work incredibly hard to protect my reputation and yours. However, if a consignor decides they want an item back after I already listed it, I charge a $25.00 “stop the listing” fee, plus the cost of shipping to return the item to you. This covers the time and labor I already invested in the listing process.

Consignor Responsibilities: Let’s Get Started!

Ready to clear out that high-end closet? The process is easy, but the logistics are on you.

Shipping & Drop-offs: Consignors are responsible for getting the items to me. Whether you are shipping from across the country or dropping them off locally in Florida, you cover the delivery costs. In addition, I recommend using a tracked and insured service for your high-value pieces!

Condition is King: Please make sure all items arrive clean and in excellent condition. While I handle the “selling” magic, the better the item looks upon arrival, the faster it will fly off the virtual shelves.

Leveraging Technology for Your Success

One of the reasons I’m able to maintain such a high success rate is my use of AI. In fact, I’m so passionate about it that I’ve launched a community called AI for Resellers. For just $6 a month, I teach other sellers how to use modern tech to work smarter, not harder.

When you consign with me, you benefit from these cutting-edge strategies. From AI-driven pricing analysis to smart keyword optimization, I back your high-end items with the best tools in the business.
