TikTok creators are livestreaming from stores like T.J. Maxx and selling items online.
Some of these "personal shoppers" list a $10 to $15 finders fee for the service.
Off-price stores sell products from well-known brands at a discount. The selection varies store by store.

TikTokers are livestreaming shopping trips to stores like T.J. Maxx and HomeGoods, and charging viewers to buy items from them, in a new side hustle that's taking off on the social media platform.

One TikToker shared a video this week explaining the new money-making trend. The video was first reported on by the Daily Dot.
