FAQ - Bump & Baby (Pre-Loved Consignment UAE)

About Bump & Baby

What is Bump & Baby?

Bump & Baby is a Dubai-based curated pre-loved marketplace for maternity, baby, and kids' items. We give high-quality pieces a second life through a simple consignment model, making sustainable shopping easy, affordable, and trusted for parents.

How does your consignment model work?

You drop off or send your items to us. We carefully review, price, photograph, and list them across our channels (website, Instagram, WhatsApp, and pop-ups). When your items sell, you earn a commission while we manage everything end-to-end.

Item Acceptance & Quality Standards

What kind of items do you accept?

We accept maternity wear, baby clothes, kids’ clothing, baby shoes and accessories in excellent condition.
All items must be:

  • Clean and freshly washed
  • Free from stains, damage, or strong odours

Do you accept all items submitted?

No. Every item is carefully reviewed. We may decline items that do not meet our quality, safety, or brand standards. Declined items can be collected back or donated to trusted NGOs or community initiatives with your approval.

If items are not accepted, you can choose to:

  • Collect them back, or
  • Donate them to trusted NGOs or local community initiatives (with your approval)

Submitting items does not guarantee acceptance.

Payments & Earnings

When do I get paid?

Once your item is sold and the consignment period ends (6 months, extendable for up to 3 additional months), we process your payment.

Before your items go live, you will receive a Consignor Summary Form, including:

  • A full list of all accepted items
  • The agreed selling price for each item
  • The estimated total earnings you can expect if all items sell

This ensures full transparency from the start, so you always know exactly what is listed and what you stand to earn.

  • Cash payments are made via bank transfer at the end of the consignment cycle.
  • You will receive a final sales summary before payment is issued.

If you choose store credit, it is issued as soon as your item is sold and includes an extra 5% bonus value to use across our collection. 

Who sets the prices?

All prices are set by Bump & Baby based on brand, condition, demand, and resale value in the UAE market. We may also adjust prices during the selling period to improve sales performance.

How much will I earn?

You can earn up to 45% commission on each item sold, depending on the category and price of the item.

You earn a percentage of the final selling price per item:

  • AED 0–99 → 25% cash / 30% store credit
  • AED 100–299 → 30% cash / 35% store credit
  • AED 300–499 → 35% cash / 40% store credit
  • AED 500–999 → 40% cash / 45% store credit


Can I choose store credit instead of cash?

Yes. Store credit is issued once your items sell and can be used anytime in our curated collection.

Many families prefer store credit as it often comes with additional value or perks.

Consignment Period & Unsold Items

What happens if my items don't sell?

If your items do not sell within the agreed selling period, we will notify you. You can choose to: extend the selling period, collect your items back, or donate them (optional sustainable option).

Can I get my items back?

Yes. You can request the return of unsold items at any time during or after the consignment period, subject to collection terms.

How long do you keep my items?

We typically list items for up to 180 days (6 months). After this period, we will review the next steps with you (return, extension, or donation).

During this period:

  • Prices may be adjusted after around 60 days to increase sales
  • High-potential items may be extended for an additional 3 months

Store Credit & Flexibility

Can I choose store credit instead of cash?

Yes. You can choose to receive your earnings as store credit, which can be used to shop pre-loved items on our platform, or as a cash payout.

Is store credit better than cash?

Store credit is often rewarded with additional value or perks (such as bonuses or priority access), making it a popular choice among our community of parents.

Listing & Processing

Do I need to photograph my items?

No. We handle everything for you — including professional photography, styling, and listing your items on our platform.

Do I need to clean or prepare the items?

Yes. Items must be clean, in good condition, and ready for resale when submitted. We may reject items that do not meet quality standards.

Logistics & Process

How do I send you my items?

You can drop off your items at our location or use our collection service (if available in your area). Full instructions are provided after registration.

How long does the process take?

Once your items are received, they are usually processed and listed within a few days, depending on volume and seasonality.

Sustainability

Why should I sell through Bump & Baby?

Selling through Bump & Baby helps reduce waste, extend product life cycles, and support a circular economy for families in the UAE while earning money from items your child has outgrown.
