Customers to get £5 vouchers for donating M&S clothes to Oxfam, which will get 15% of profits from eBay sales
Marks & Spencer is opening a secondhand clothing store on eBay to find new homes for “old favourites” as the household name taps into booming demand for preloved clothing.
The retailer has collected 36.5m secondhand clothes since it launched its “shwopping” clothing recycling scheme – now called Another Life – over a decade ago. Most of that clothing has been resold by charity partner Oxfam.
As growth in donations has slowed, M&S is trying something new and will reward customers for Oxfam donations containing at least one M&S item with a £5 voucher when they spend £35 in its stores or online.
To use the service customers must complete a short form on its website or scan a QR code in stores, then send their preloved items using a free local courier service to Reskinned, a repair and resale specialist.
