A survey conducted in the United States in 2023 among different age groups showed that there is still plenty of hesitation when it comes to shopping for second-hand fashion items online. All five age groups ranked condition concerns first, followed by the fear of being scammed. For example, around 83 percent of all 18 to 29-year-olds were concerned about product conditions when buying used clothing or accessories online. Similarly, approximately 69 percent of them were worried about being scammed.
