Frequently Asked Questions
Destashify is a marketplace for sewists, quilters, knitters and other fiber artists who want to destash, start a side hustle, or grow their existing business. Here you can buy and sell fabric, patterns, yarn, trim, notions, and more.
Who can use the website?
Currently we only support U.S. sellers, but we do ship globally. We hope to expand internationally in the future.
Do I need a PayPal account to make a purchase?
It appears that PayPal may have turned off their Guest Checkout, which allowed buyers to make a purchase without a login. We're looking into other payment options in addition to PayPal.
How much does it cost to sell?
When an item sells, we keep $1 + 15% of the remaining product subtotal. There are no extra listing fees or payment transaction fees. There are no upfront costs to sellers. If an item doesn't sell, there are no fees for listing or re-listing it. The seller gets 100% of the shipping fee.
When do I get paid?
Sellers get paid after the order is fulfilled and the tracking number is added to the Seller Portal. The sooner you ship, the sooner you get paid!
How do I start selling?
How do I let buyers create a pattern bundle with my patterns?
We've temporarily turned off this feature due to a software bug. We plan to fix it and turn it back on, but don't have a date for that now.
How do I indicate that my fabric can be cut to length?
Add the product tag 'yardage' to any fabric which can be cut to a length chosen by the buyer. This will add the fabric to the page showing all fabrics which can be cut to length. Be sure to indicate the unit of measurement on the product posting (one yard or half a yard, for example; we recommend half a yard).

How does the shipping flat fee work?
Buyers pay a flat fee for shipping and 100% of the fee goes to the seller. However, sellers are responsible for actual shipping costs. Because shipping will often be more than the flat fee, we recommend that sellers add a bit to the price of each product to account for actual shipping costs.
What is the shipping policy?
Orders should be shipped within 2 business days using 1-3 day shipping, such as USPS First Class or Priority Mail. All shipments must have a tracking number. They must also have insurance if the order is over $10.
Shipping is complicated and expensive. Help!
Shipping can be the most frustrating part of selling online. We want to make it easy. The following pages give you a head start on low stress, low cost shipping.

Here are the current instructions for donating.
What about sales tax?
We withhold and pay sales tax in states where it's legally required.
How long do items remain for sale?
