Depop Fees for Sellers

Selling fee: UK, US and Australia

Depop's seller fees page says: "No Depop Selling fees will be charged to sellers based in the UK, US, or AUS". The page shows no "last updated" date. Press coverage gives a date when the UK and US selling fees were dropped, but no official Depop page we could reach confirms it, so we don't quote it.

Decision rule: if you compare Depop with a platform that takes a commission from UK sellers, set that commission against Depop's processing fee plus any boost, not against zero. Vestiaire Collective seller fees is one commission model for fashion to compare with.

Payment processing fees

UK, US and Australian sellers are paid through Depop Payments, which runs on Stripe. The rates are in the table above. The base they are charged on matters more than the rates:

So the buyer's postage counts towards the fee, even though you don't keep it. When you check what a UK sale costs you, start from the total the buyer pays, not the item price. UK sellers joining Depop Payments must also agree to a Bacs Direct Debit mandate.

Depop fees in Europe and other countries: 10% plus PayPal

For sellers outside the UK, US and Australia, the fees page lists a 10% selling fee on all sales. It links this regime to selling in a currency other than GBP, USD or AUD, and it names no countries. Payment processing then goes through PayPal. Depop gives no PayPal rate and says only that the fee varies by location and account.

The 10% is charged on:

• With a Depop shipping label: the item price, excluding taxes.
• With shipping you arrange yourself: the item price plus the shipping charge.

Decision rule: if you ship without a Depop label, 10% of the postage goes to Depop too, so add it to the cost of your own shipping when you compare the two options.

Decision rule: if you haven't looked up your PayPal rate yet, treat any fee you work out as a minimum, not the total.

Depop's pages we read don't confirm which European countries can sell on Depop, Poland included. They also don't say outright that pricing in euros puts a given country under the 10%. Check both for your own country before you buy stock for Depop. Vinted vs Depop for resellers sets the two fee models side by side.

Boosted listings: 12% or 8% and the 28-day rule

A boost costs nothing up front. Depop charges it only when all of these are true:

• The listing was boosted, either on its own or through "Boost Shop", which boosts every current and new listing
• The buyer viewed, clicked or liked the boosted listing
• The buyer bought within 28 days of that interaction

Unboosting doesn't cancel the fee for a buyer who has already seen the boosted listing.

Rates. In the UK and US the boost fee is 12% of the item price, excluding tax, plus shipping if you arranged it yourself. The fees page marks this rate for "new listings from 23 March 2026". Depop's pages disagree on the 8% rate. The fees page applies it "outside of the UK and US", while the Boosted Listings page names only Australia. If you sell outside those three countries, don't assume either rate until you have checked it for your own account.

Example: a boosted £30 top sold in the UK with a Depop label pays 12% × £30 = £3.60 for the boost, on top of processing.

Decision rule: if you use Boost Shop, any item can carry the boost fee once a buyer has seen it, including low-margin items you would never have boosted on their own.

Refunds and fee reversal

Depop's fees page says that on a refunded sale all fees are reversed, meaning the selling, processing and boosting fees. With Depop Payments this happens automatically.

Decision rule: if you are paid through PayPal, count only Depop's own fees as returned. The page doesn't say whether PayPal's fee comes back, and it lists fees only, not what you spent on packaging.

Crosslisting rules in Depop's terms

Depop's Terms of Service, "Effective from 2 September 2026", say you "may simultaneously list your items for sale on other platforms and/or marketplaces … via third party cross-listing platforms". Three conditions apply:

1. You fully comply with the Terms.
2. You remove the item from Depop promptly if it sells elsewhere.
3. You accept full responsibility if it sells on both, including refunding the buyer.

The same Terms say you may not "mine data, scrape or crawl the Service … or use any bots or other third party software on the Service". Depop doesn't explain how that ban fits with the crosslisting permission, and we don't interpret it for you. Before you connect a tool to your Depop account, read both clauses in the current Terms and ask the tool's provider, or Depop, what the tool does on Depop itself.

Marketplace automation rules sets Depop's wording beside other marketplaces' clauses on bots and tools. The crosslisting guide covers the delisting routine that keeps you within the "promptly" condition.

Decision rule: if an item sells twice, the Terms put the refund on you. Depop reverses its fees on a refunded Depop order, but the other platform's fees follow that platform's rules.

reva doesn't support Depop. If you also source stock on Vinted, OLX or Allegro Lokalnie, reva's Scout finds listings there priced below their market and gives each find a five-level price estimate.
