Several have replied that the law due to the 'throw the bone' comment by CPSIA in regards to Thrift stores won't effect resellers,
that couldn't be farther from the truth. While Yes, the law has been revised to not demand Thrift stores and resellers to test their garments, they still have to assure those garments are lead and phthalates, IF any file a complaint on that store they are still liable under law if they come in and find just ONE item, that exceeds the limits.
As for reconstruct--those are NEW items, while they may use old recycled material they are still deemed new so yes, they have to be tested, that is anything from jewels to dresses to toys.
Anyway, here you go, prices on items, to give you an idea, after Feb 9, posted on Etsy. This will give you an idea of what you will need to charge to cover the expense for testing on items,
quilting and jewels will cost far more, as Each fabric swatch, component, zipper, button, closure, threads too, have to be tested.
Some examples:
jewelry cross: cost after testing to comply with law will now cost you $23,027...girls dress $7,000 [rounded off], quilted skirt for girl, $15,160.00, and so forth
Here you go, see for yourself, the new CPSIA PRICES, THANK YOU CONGRESS.... for anything Handmade, Reconstructed, Consignment, etc
[on each garment, the manufacturer has itemized the costing by Third Party Lab so that you will know what you are paying for OR what you will have to now charge.
