Marks & Spencer has launched a dedicated clothing resale service on eBay powered by Reskinned.

M&S customers can trade-in second hand clothing clothing, footwear and accessories through its official M&S X eBay store – with 15% of resale profits going to Oxfam.

To use the service customers fill out a short form on M&S.com, or scan a QR codes in-store, then send their items using a free local courier service.

For each return that includes at least one M&S-labelled item, customers receive £5 off a spend of £35 or more on fashion, home, and beauty products online at M&S.com (valid for four weeks from date of issue). Items that can be worn again are professionally cleaned, repaired and listed by Reskinned on the M&S x eBay store. Items that cannot be resold will be responsibly repurposed or recycled. 

“At M&S, we are committed to supporting customers to do the right thing and playing our part in reducing textile waste. We’re delighted to be partnering with the pre-loved experts at eBay and Reskinned to launch a dedicated resale platform. This not only offers more ways for customers to give items Another Life, but also an opportunity for customers to purchase items they might have missed from previous seasons – which are pre-loved.”

Monique Leewenburgh, Director of Sourcing and Technology in Fashion, Home & Beauty, M&S. 

The launch is the latest Another Life initiative – which is how M&S activates its Plan A strategy in Fashion, Home & Beauty. Another Life brings together M&S’ approach to circularity with a focus on the four R’s; Rewear, Repair, Recycle and Resale. 

Having been the first major UK retailer to launch a clothes recycling scheme back in 2008, M&S is now completing the final R – Resale with the launch of this new partnership.

Kirsty Keoghan, GM, European Fashion at eBay said: “M&S is a beloved British institution, known for its enduring quality and style, and a staple in wardrobes across the UK. Welcoming M&S to the eBay marketplace represents an exciting milestone in our mission to make circular fashion more accessible, appealing, and scalable.”

 “At Reskinned our mission is to maximise the lifespan of clothing. We’re making it easy for brands and their customers to rehome unwanted clothes, whether that’s reselling, repairing or if it’s end-of-life recycling it responsibly. We’re determined to create a more sustainable clothing future for us all.”

Matt Hanrahan, Co-Founder, Reskinned.

In May of this year Nobody’s Child announced its exclusive resale partnership with eBay and Reskinned.
