Thrifted.mt provides a marketplace for users to list, sell and buy second-hand items. The following describes the end-to-end process:
Thrifted.mt is not a party to the underlying sale contract between buyer and seller, but we enforce these Terms to protect both parties.
Platform Fee: Thrifted.mt charges an 8% platform fee on the final sale price of each successful transaction. This fee is automatically deducted from the seller's payout before crediting their wallet.
Delivery Fee: When the buyer selects locker delivery (EasiPik or DHL), a flat fee of €2.50 is charged at checkout. Local meetup/collection is free of charge.
Withdrawals: Sellers may withdraw their available wallet balance to a registered IBAN bank account. The minimum withdrawal amount is €1.00. Withdrawals are processed manually and may take up to 3 business days.
All fees are subject to change with reasonable notice. All card payments are processed securely by Stripe.
Users may not list items that are illegal, dangerous or violate our community standards. Prohibited items include, but are not limited to:
We employ automated risk assessment and stock image detection to scan all new and edited listings. We reserve the right to temporarily hide or remove any listing flagged by our system until manual review.
Stock Image Policy: We operate a strict "2-strike" policy regarding the use of stock images. Upon the first violation, you will receive a warning and the listing will be removed. A second violation will result in an automatic 1-week ban from listing new items.
You agree not to use the Service to:
We may terminate or suspend your account and bar access to the Service immediately, without prior notice or liability, under our sole discretion, for any reason whatsoever and without limitation, including but not limited to a breach of the Terms.
In no event shall Thrifted.mt, nor its directors, employees, partners, agents, suppliers or affiliates, be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, including without limitation, loss of profits, data, use, goodwill or other intangible losses, resulting from (i) your access to or use of or inability to access or use the Service; (ii) any conduct or content of any third party on the Service; (iii) any content obtained from the Service; and (iv) unauthorized access, use or alteration of your transmissions or content, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence) or any other legal theory.
Your use of the Service is at your sole risk. The Service is provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis. The Service is provided without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including, but not limited to, implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement or course of performance.
These terms and conditions are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Malta and you irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in that location.
All seller earnings are managed through the Thrifted Wallet system:
"Thrifted Payment Protection" is a financial escrow arrangement, not a warranty or insurance policy. By holding buyer funds until the transaction is successfully completed, we protect both parties.
What is covered: You are protected if the item is (1) not received (lost in transit or abandoned by seller), (2) damaged in transit or (3) significantly not as described (e.g. wrong item, counterfeit, severe undisclosed damage).
What is not covered: As most sellers are private individuals, returns are not accepted for buyer's remorse (e.g. item doesn't fit, change of mind) unless the seller explicitly agrees. Condition disagreements that are minor or consistent with the listing description are also not covered.
Dispute process: To open a dispute, contact us at support@thrifted.mt within 5 days of the auto-release date. We will review the case and may request evidence (photos, messages). If a dispute is resolved in the buyer's favour (e.g. item significantly not as described or a meetup no-show), the pending funds will be reverted back to the buyer for a full refund. If funds have already cleared to the seller's available balance, they will be recovered where possible from that balance. Thrifted.mt is not liable for any shortfall that cannot be recovered from the seller.
Chargebacks: If a buyer initiates a chargeback directly with their card provider, the disputed amount is placed on hold in accordance with Stripe's dispute process. Both the buyer and seller may be asked to provide evidence. Thrifted.mt will attempt to defend legitimate sales on the seller's behalf.
Most sellers on Thrifted.mt are private individuals acting in a personal capacity.EU Consumer Rights Law (including the 14-day right of withdrawal) does NOT apply to contracts between private individuals.
If a seller is a professional trader (business), this will be clearly indicated on their profile and statutory consumer rights will apply.
If you have any questions about these Terms, please contact us at support@thrifted.mt.
