A Seller on Kiabza has two options of Selling products, Outright Sale or Consignment Sale. Under the Outright Sale option, they would be paid once the product(s) are approved by our Curation team. However, only Fast Fashion & High Street Branded Clothing are accepted under Outright Sale. This means that Luxury & Premium Clothing and Bags will only qualify for reselling under the Consignment Sale option. It is however to be noted that the Consignment Selling option entails a seller to a higher payout as compared to Outright Sale.
Under the Consignment selling option one gets the opportunity to earn more (i.e. upto 50%) on the Sale of your Products while under the Outright Sale option the seller gets paid almost immediately but the amount is smaller.
You shall transfer minimum 3 product(s) (i.e. clothes) to us for approval which shall be screened at our end for quality. Once the same are approved, we shall inform you of their status by posting necessary information under Approved Products in your account online. Once we have your consent on the prices at which they would be listed, the product(s) would be listed on our website. If unfortunately, some of your products are not approved, the status of the same would be posted under Unapproved Product's in your account and we shall seek your consent to donate your products, you also have the option to call back your products at a cost of Rs.100/- each.
This is the period for which the product(s) would remain listed on our website for our consignment model, and currently this period is 6 months. Any extension of this period could be mutually decided between us.
If any Seller wants to withdraw the product(s) before the minimum consignment period of 6 months, Kiabza will levy a small charge of Rs.200/- per product to meet the costs incurred by it in listing the said items on its website.
If the listed products do not sell within the initial period of 6 months, the same would be either listed for an extended period to be mutually decided between Kiabza and the Seller or the same would be returned to the Seller. Only the shipping/courier cost would be paid by Kiabza.
We currently accept only branded Men/Women and Children apparels/clothing for listing and resale on our website. You may consign us for selling all kinds of clothing except innerwear. The clothes should be in very good condition, i.e. the condition of the same should be good enough for you to share it with your Friends and Family. The apparels should be from our approved Brand List available on our website. Click here to see our Brand List.
If you have an apparel of a reputed brand in an excellent condition but the brand is unfortunately unlisted, please write to us at support@kiabza.com , and we shall get back to you after further studying the brand profile. There is always a possibility that we may have missed including this brand in our approved list.

Hence if any Seller sends product(s) which are discovered to be unauthentic, then Kiabza will levy Rs.1000/- penal charge per product along with Rs 250/- shipping charges per pc for sending the product(s) back. If this is unfortunately repeated, Rs.5000/- per product would be recovered as penal chages along with shipping charges as above.
