Depop Seller Fees Guide 2026 — Complete Fee Breakdown

Listing Fees

Depop does not charge any listing fees. You can list unlimited items at no cost.

• No insertion fees — completely free to list
• No listing upgrade fees — all photo slots and description features are included
• Listings remain active until sold or removed by the seller
• No limit on the number of active listings

Selling (Commission) Fees

UK, US & Australian Sellers

• 0% marketplace fee for sellers based in the UK, US or Australia — only payment processing applies
• This makes Depop one of the cheapest reselling platforms for UK, US and Australian sellers — you only pay payment processing
• The 0% rate applies to all categories with no revenue threshold or cap

International Sellers

• 10% commission on the item price plus shipping (shipping is left out when you use a Depop shipping label; taxes are excluded)
• This is the original Depop fee structure, still in effect for sellers based outside the UK, US and Australia
• Applied on top of payment processing fees

Payment Processing Fees

All sellers pay payment processing fees regardless of location. Rates vary by country and payment provider, and apply to the item price plus shipping (and any applicable taxes):

• United States: 3.3% + $0.45 per transaction (via Stripe)
• United Kingdom: 2.9% + £0.30 per transaction
• Australia: 2.6% + A$0.30 per transaction
• Outside the UK, US and Australia (PayPal): PayPal's own processing fee, which varies by country and PayPal account

For UK, US and Australian sellers with the 0% marketplace fee, payment processing is the only fee you pay on standard (non-boosted) sales.

Boosted Listing Fees

Depop's Boosted Listings are optional promoted placements that increase visibility in search and explore.

• UK & US: 12% fee if the item sells via a boosted listing (new listings from March 23, 2026)
• Australia: 8% fee if the item sells via a boosted listing
• Fee is charged only if a buyer who saw the boosted listing buys it within 28 days
• Charged on the item price plus any shipping you arrange yourself, excluding taxes
• With a Depop shipping label, the boost fee is charged on the listing price alone
• The boost fee is on top of payment processing fees
• Boosting is entirely optional — you can sell without ever boosting
• You only pay the boost fee when the item actually sells through the boost

Shipping Fees

Depop offers flexible shipping options — use their labels or ship independently.

• Depop shipping labels: tiered rates based on package weight, available through USPS and other carriers
• Ship independently: use your own labels and input tracking manually
• Buyer-paid or free shipping: seller chooses at listing time
• Underweight penalty: if a package weighs more than declared, Depop deducts the shipping cost difference from the seller's payout
• For sellers based outside the UK, US and Australia paying the 10% commission, the fee applies to buyer-paid shipping as well — unless you use a Depop shipping label

Refunds and Returns

• Processing fees are refunded if a sale is canceled or a return is approved
• Return shipping: typically the seller's responsibility unless the buyer is at fault (e.g., buyer's remorse on an accurately described item)
• Depop mediates disputes through their Resolution Centre
• Buyers can request refunds for items not received, significantly not as described, or damaged in transit
• Boost fees are refunded if the associated sale is fully refunded

Legacy Listings Warning

When Depop dropped its US marketplace fee in July 2024, the 0% rate applied to listings created or updated after the change — older listings that hadn't been edited could still be charged the old 10% marketplace fee when sold.

• Depop's current seller fees article (checked October 20, 2026) lists a 0% marketplace fee for sellers based in the UK, US or Australia — only payment processing applies
• If a sale on an older listing ever shows a marketplace fee, editing and re-saving the listing (even a minor description change) was the original fix — and costs nothing
• Sellers based outside the UK, US and Australia pay 10% regardless of listing age

Fee Calculation Examples

All examples: US seller, Depop Payments. Computed with the same engine as the FeePilot calculator.

Example 1 — US Seller, Standard Sale (0% Marketplace Fee)

A vintage jacket at $40.00 with $7.00 shipping:

Example 2 — US Seller, Boosted Listing Sale (12% Boost Fee)

The same vintage jacket, sold to a buyer who saw it as a Boosted Listing:

Example 3 — US Seller, Low-Priced Item

A graphic tee at $10.00 with $4.00 shipping — the $0.45 fixed processing fee weighs more on a cheap sale:

Sellers based outside the UK, US and Australia also pay the 10% commission on the item price plus shipping (unless they use a Depop shipping label). FeePilot's calculator does not model that commission.

Recent Changes (2024–2026)

• 2024: 0% marketplace fee introduced — for UK sellers earlier in the year and for US sellers from July 15, 2024 — a major shift that made Depop one of the cheapest platforms
• March 23, 2026: the current 12% boost fee in the UK and US took effect for new listings under Depop's Boosted Listings Policy (Australia: 8%). Sellers based outside the UK, US and Australia continue paying the 10% commission. Boosted Listings remain optional

Tips to Reduce Depop Fees

• Bundle sales to minimize fixed fees — the $0.45 per-transaction processing fee hits harder on cheap items. Selling multiple items in one order reduces the per-item impact
• Be selective with boosted listings — the 12% boost fee can erode thin margins on low-value items. Reserve boosts for higher-priced items where the visibility payoff justifies the cost
• Weigh packages accurately — underweight shipping declarations result in the difference being deducted from your payout. Use a scale and round up
• Compare shipping options — Depop's labels aren't always the cheapest. If you have access to discounted rates (Pirate Ship, business USPS accounts), ship independently
• Build organic visibility — Depop's algorithm rewards active sellers. Refresh listings regularly, engage with buyers, and maintain a complete profile to reduce reliance on paid boosts
