Direct Listing items offer a unique shopping experience designed for quick, individual purchases. Here's everything you need to know.

  

**How to Purchase**: Direct Listing items are available for immediate purchase with a "buy it now" experience - no waiting, no bidding.

##   

### Checkout & Shipping

You can only purchase **one Direct Listing item at a time**. Each item requires its own separate checkout process and will be shipped individually. Due to this, shipping will be charged per item, even if you make multiple purchases from the same Seller.

  

### Can I combine a Direct Listing & regular ThredUp purchases?

Direct Listing items cannot be bundled with items sold directly from ThredUp in the same order - they must be purchased separately.

##   

### What this Means for you

1.  ✅ Immediate availability - buy the item right away
2.  ✅ Quick processing - faster fulfillment from individual sellers
3.  ❌ No bulk ordering - one item per transaction
4.  ❌ No shipping savings - individual shipping costs apply
5.  ❌ No mixed carts - cannot combine with regular ThredUp items

##   

### Tips for Shopping Direct Listings

1.  **Plan your purchases** - Consider shipping costs when buying multiple Direct Listing items
2.  **Check item details** - Look for the "Direct Listing" designation before checkout
3.  **Shop strategically** - Keep Direct Listings separate from regular ThredUp shopping
