Consigning Basics
Selling with Dittos for Kiddos is simple! Consignors pay a $6 non-refundable registration fee and a commission of 40% of sales plus a $10 consignor fee that is taken out of the the commission check. Want to lower your consignor fee? Sign up to be a helper (Consigning Partner) during the sale. Just complete one or more shifts (minimum 6 hours total) in your consignor account. Your consignor account is created when you register to consign.
Minimum requirements to be a consignor — 25 items or $50 worth of inventory.
As a Consignor you get to:
set your own prices. (For best results, we recommend - 80 - 90% off of retail.)
choose whether or not your items will be discounted on our discount days. (For best results we recommend that you select discount!)
choose whether or not you will pick up your unsold items or let them be donated to charity. (Do you really want to take unsold items home??)
choose which commission level you pay and which Consignor Pre-sale you shop.

To become a Consignor:
Register online
When you register you will receive a consignor ID and your own online account. The $6 NON-REFUNDABLE registration fee reserves a spot for you and your items and gives you access to our database where you will create your barcode tags, sign up for a drop off appointment, track your sales and more.
Prep and tag your items
Log in to your consignor account to add inventory and create your barcode tags. Make sure all of your items are clean; have all parts and pieces; are free of stains, holes, odor and pet hair; have not been recalled; and are in good condition.
Remember! The goal is to SELL, so price reasonably and make sure your items look and smell good. Consider blessing others by marking your items to be donated if they don’t sell.
Bring your items to us
Schedule a drop off appointment from the homepage of your consignor account.
Bring your clothing sorted by gender and size.
Bring your non-clothing items organized by item type.
Complete the online check in form before you arrive.
When you arrive for drop off check in with a hostess first. Then put your items at designated locations on the sales floor, get your shopping pass and be on your way! Quick and easy! No waiting for items to be inspected.
NOTE: Items will be inspected after you put them in the marked baskets on the sales floor. Pick up of returned items will be on Saturday morning after drop off ends. Any returned items not picked up by the designated time will be donated to charity that day regardless of donate status on the barcode tag.
Spread the Word
We go to a lot of effort to advertise every one of our seasonal sales. But the most effective advertising is word of mouth. Please help us spread the word to your family and friends. Share on social media. Share in your social circles. Share with flyers at businesses you frequent. The more you tell, the more you sell!
Shop
Consignors get to shop at their own private pre-sale! Pass required and good for one adult only. If you are not going to shop, please feel free to give your pass to someone who would like to shop.
Get Paid
Deposits come quickly through PayPal. Your sales less your chosen commission & consignor fee are deposited no later than two weeks after pick up of unsold items (but usually sooner).
IMPORTANT! Your email in your consignor account must be the SAME AS or LINKED TO your PayPal account. Do this BEFORE the item entry deadline .
If earnings have not been claimed in PayPal after 30 days of the deposit, the deposit is returned to Dittos for Kiddos. At that time we will issue a paper check to the mailing address listed in your consignor account. A $3 processing fee will apply. PayPal is quickest and easiest.
