           Submitted May 16 and 22, 2019
           Registration Statement on Form S-1
           Filed May 31, 2019
           File No. 333-231891

Dear Ms. Wainwright:

      We have reviewed your amended registration statement and have the
following
comments. In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with
information so we
may better understand your disclosure.

       Please respond to this letter by amending your registration statement
and providing the
requested information. If you do not believe our comments apply to your facts
and
circumstances or do not believe an amendment is appropriate, please tell us why
in your
response.

       After reviewing any amendment to your registration statement and the
information you
provide in response to these comments, we may have additional comments. Unless
we note
otherwise, our references to prior comments are to comments in our May 7, 2019
letter.

Draft Registration Statement Amendment No. 1 on Form S-1 filed on May 16, 2019

Managment's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
Key Financial and Operating Metrics, page 55

1.     We have read your responses to comments 6 and 7 and revised disclosures
and have the
       following comments:

           You disclose that your GMV and take rate metrics exclude "certain
buyer incentives."
           Please clearly disclose the specific buyer incentives that you
exclude from your GMV

             and take rate metrics and explain to us why you exclude these
incentives.

             Please tell us your consideration of supplementing your current
"gross" GMV figure
             by presenting a "net" GMV figure that incorporates actual sales
cancellations, returns,
             and customer discounts. It appears that such amounts are readily
determinable and
             available and that netting such items in GMV would more directly
correlate with your
             GAAP revenues. To the extent you believe your current presentation
is sufficient,
             please separately discuss the added benefits to investors of
grossing up GMV for each
             of these items.

             With a view towards transparency, revise your disclosure to
discuss the limitations
             associated with GMV.
Results of Operations, page 57

2.       We have reviewed your response to comment 9 and your disclosure on
page 1 indicating
         that you offer products across multiple categories, including women's,
men's, kids',
         jewelry and watches, and home and art. Please revise your disclosures
to
         quantify revenues by these, or similar, product categories, or tell us
why providing such
         information under ASC 280-10-50-40 is impracticable. We note that you
already disclose
         GMV by similar product categories on page 84, so it is unclear why
disclosing revenues
         on a GAAP basis would be impracticable or not useful to investors.
3.       We have read your response to comment 10 and have the following
comments. Please
         apply these comments to both your annual and interim results of
operations discussions.

             As previously requested, please explain in reasonable detail the
factors that led to the
             increases in your GMV. In doing so, clearly explain the reasons
why there
             were increases in active consignors and buyers.

             Your disclosure on page 49 indicates that take rates "vary
depending on the total value
             of goods sold through our online marketplace on behalf of a
particular consignor as
             well as the category and price point of the items." With a view
towards understanding
             your business, explain to us how management assesses changes in
take rates and
             clearly disclose the factors contributing to the changes in your
take rate between
             periods. In doing so, ensure that you explain the specific changes
to your commission
             structure referenced on pages 58 and 60.

             Within your quarterly and annual results of operations discussion,
you explain that the
             increase in your direct revenues was driven in part by "an overall
growth in our
             consignment business." Considering the overly broad nature of this
statement, please
             revise your discussion to identify the specific factors
contributing to the significant
             increases in your direct revenues.

4.       We note your response and revised disclosure to prior comment 15.
Please revise your
         related exclusive forum risk factor on page 35 to reflect your revised
disclosure. In
         addition, we also note that your proposed Certificate of Incorporation
does not mirror your
         revised disclosure. Please revise or tell us why such revisions are
not necessary.

5.       We have read your responses to comments 16 and 17 related to your
sales return reserve
         and have the following comments:

             To the extent material, please revise your MD&A disclosures to
discuss the impact of
             changes in the sales return reserve on your results of operations.

             You indicate in your response that you obtain title to returned
goods in "certain cases"
             where you have already remitted sales proceeds to consignors.
Confirm whether or
             not you always obtain title to returned goods when consignors have
already been paid
             and clarify if you ever obtain title to returned goods prior to
payment to consignors.

             You indicate in your response that title of consigned goods
transfer "from the
             consignor to the end customer after the expiration of the end of
the customers return
             window." Tell us how, if at all, the timing of title transfer from
consignor to end
             customer impacts the point at which you recognize your consignment
fee within
             revenue. In doing so, explain to us how you meet the criteria to
recognize revenue
             under ASC 606 at the time a transaction is processed on your
marketplace, a point in
             time occurring prior to the end customer obtaining title.

6.       Please provide us with the grant dates of any equity issuances,
including stock options and
         convertible preferred stock, made during the last 12 months, as well
as the underlying fair
         value per share of your common stock at each grant date. Explain to us
the events or
         factors that support any material differences between recent
valuations of your common
         stock leading up to the IPO and the estimated offering price, once
determined.
