Pay with card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay — Stripe Tax adds your state sales tax automatically where required. Your bank statement shows "SOLE OBSESSION" — a brand name, not a contents description.

Apply to sell, complete Didit identity verification, connect your US bank account through Stripe Connect Express, and start listing. You keep 70% of every sale — paid in USD to your US bank on Stripe's standard payout schedule (typically T+2 days). No monthly fee. No listing fee. Stripe generates your 1099-K at year-end if you cross the federal threshold; we handle marketplace facilitator sales tax via Stripe Tax in every state that requires it. You print labels, drop packages at USPS, get paid.
Yes, in all 50 states. There's no federal restriction on buying or selling worn clothing, and no state has a specific prohibition on this category. Local consumer-protection law applies as it does to any commerce. All Sole Obsession sellers are 18+ verified; buyers self-attest 18+ at signup. The platform's content moderation is strict — no explicit imagery in listings, no off-platform sales, no payment routing outside Stripe.
Three things US buyers actually care about. First, real identity: Didit verifies a government ID against a live selfie before any listing goes live, and the "Verified American Seller" badge means the person behind the username is real. Second, US shipping: every seller is US-resident, every package ships domestic USPS tracked with 2-5 day delivery (vs 7-21 days from international Sofia Gray sellers). Third, real tax handling: Stripe issues 1099-Ks to sellers, Stripe Tax remits marketplace sales tax to states — sellers don't have to track 50 state thresholds themselves.
