Your earnings are added to your Hemline balance when the buyer confirms delivery, or automatically 3 days after tracking shows delivered.

- Withdraw — Transfer to your bank account anytime (minimum $1, arrives in 2-3 business days)
View your balance and transaction history on your Account page.
The buyer pays for shipping at checkout. Shipping is charged per seller based on the total yards in your cart:
- Lightweight — $5
(under 3 yards of fabric) - Standard — $8
(3 to 10 yards of fabric) - Heavy — $14
(over 10 yards of fabric)
Each shipment includes tracking and insurance.
Your payment is held until delivery is confirmed.
Here's how it works:
- When you buy, Stripe holds your payment securely
- The seller ships with a tracked, prepaid label
- Once delivered, the system waits 3 days for any issues
- After 3 days, the seller's earnings are released to their Hemline balance
