Consign or sell with EcoBaby

Low consignment fees with no transaction costs. We charge a low going up to 35% commission compared to the typical 50% you find in most consignment stores. No hidden fees. Pickup fees, shipping fees, transaction fees including credit card fees, PayPal fees, and marketing fees are also covered by us.

Exposure and Market reach

Some of you often rely solely on classified websites to buy or sell children’s items. Often with a price lower or higher than the true value of the item. While the audience may be huge, it consists mainly of bargain shoppers unlike Ecobaby which aims to deliver articles and quality services. We’ve found that selling and buying directly from our website yields the best results for our consignment customers as well as for our shoppers.
