Does Shein resell their returns?

Does Shein resell their returns?
I ordered leggings/jeggings and I have a bit of obsession to check anything I buy.
The item smelled surprisingly good,like washed. But what worried me I noticed some hmm discolouration in the crotch area. Kind of brownish/redish stain,not very well visible, more when I stretched the material. But because of my OCD I'm worried it could be blood or ... you know.

Every outlet sells returns.

I’ll be honest, I’d be really disappointed if they didn’t resell- their business model is built on people over ordering them returning what doesn’t suit, so the waste would be astronomical.

Of course they do.

I've heard they actually send returns to landfill which is why they're so unethical - it's cheaper for them just to throw them than it is to sort, resell and reship. From the Guardian:

Shein ships to more than 150 countries – a sobering thought when you consider the emissions not just of deliveries but also returns. Most returns end up in landfill because it costs more to put them back in circulation

It seems unlikely jeggings would be worth the cost of reselling. They probably got dirty some other way.

That's mad if they don't resell them. What a waste.

Nope/ it's one of the many reasons fast fashion is so dreadful for the environment.
