Depop Fee & Payout Calculator

What Fees Does Depop Charge Sellers in 2026?

Since July 2024, Depop charges 0% selling fees for sellers based in the United States and the United Kingdom. Sellers in all other markets still pay a 10% selling fee on the total transaction (item price plus shipping charged). On top of the seller fee, every sale carries a payment processing charge through Depop Payments: 3.3% + US$0.45 in the US, 2.9% + £0.30 in the UK, and roughly 2.9% + €0.30 elsewhere. Two optional add-ons can push fees higher: Boosted Listings — an extra 8% in the US and Australia, or 12% in the UK (raised December 2025) — when your sale comes from a promoted listing, and Depop's transaction-disputes reserve in markets where buyer protection is opt-in. The calculator above models all three components — seller fee, payment processing, and Boosted Listings — so you can see your real net payout before listing the item.

Is Depop Really Free to Sell On?

For most US and UK sellers, the answer is "yes — but not quite." Depop's 0% seller fee means it does not take a cut of your sale price the way Etsy (6.5%) or Poshmark (20%) do. You still pay payment processing, which on a US$25 sale lands at about US$1.28 (5.1% effective rate) and on a US$100 sale at about US$3.75 (3.75%) — so the bigger the basket, the less the flat US$0.45 component stings. Sellers outside the US and UK still pay the legacy 10% Depop fee on top of payment processing, so an €35 sale in Europe takes home roughly €30.46 after Depop's combined cuts. See the section below for the worked maths on each market.

Always confirm the current rate in the official Depop seller fees and charges page before pricing — Depop has historically adjusted both the seller fee and the payment processing rates on short notice.

How Do I Calculate My Depop Payout?

For a US seller, the formula is: Payout = (Item Price + Shipping) − Payment Processing − Boosted Fee − Label Cost. On a US$25 vintage tee with US$5 shipping (a US$30 total) where you paid US$4.50 for the USPS label, the maths is: revenue $30.00 − payment processing $1.44 (3.3% + $0.45) − label $4.50 = $24.06 gross payout. Subtract your US$6 source cost and you net $18.06 before tax. For a UK seller selling at £60 with £4.50 shipping (£64.50 total) and a £3.95 Hermes label, the maths is: revenue £64.50 − payment processing £2.17 (2.9% + £0.30) − label £3.95 = £58.38 gross payout, less an £18 source cost = £40.38 net. For an international seller at €35 with €6 shipping, the 10% Depop fee bites first: revenue €41.00 − Depop fee €4.10 (10%) − payment processing €1.49 (2.9% + €0.30) − €5 label = €30.41 gross payout, less a €10 cost = €20.41 net. The calculator above does all of this automatically and adds an optional returns reserve.

Should I Use Depop Boosted Listings?

Boosted Listings add an 8% fee in the US and Australia, or 12% in the UK (raised December 2025), on top of standard charges — and only when the sale comes through the Boost (within 28 days of a buyer viewing the boosted listing). The break-even maths is simple: a Boost only pays for itself if it lifts your sell-through rate by more than the percentage margin you give back. On a US$25 sale where your net margin before Boost is ~50%, an 8% Boost pulls that down to 42%; a UK 12% Boost would pull it to 38%. If Boost helps you clear a slow-mover in 14 days instead of 90, the holding-cost savings (storage, photography redo, opportunity cost on capital) usually beat the take. UK sellers face a tougher break-even after the December 2025 rate change — reserve Boost for higher-value items where the lift can absorb the bigger cut. Test in batches of 10-20 SKUs first and track conversion uplift over a 4-week window before scaling Boost across your full catalogue.

How to Increase Your Net Payout on Depop

• Push average sale price above US$30 / £25. The flat US$0.45 / £0.30 payment processing component eats roughly 1.8% on a US$25 sale but only 0.45% on a US$100 sale. Bundle accessories, raise prices to absolute round numbers (US$25 vs US$22), and use Depop's "Make Offer" feature to negotiate up from your floor rather than down from a too-high anchor.
• Offer free shipping above a clear threshold. Free-shipping listings convert noticeably better but you only want to absorb the label cost on items where the margin can take it. Use the calculator to test a "free shipping over US$50" or "free shipping over £40" rule and confirm net payout stays above your target.
• Negotiate buyer pays shipping on heavy or oversized items. Depop allows you to charge the buyer for shipping. On a US$120 pair of sneakers in a 2lb box, charging buyer shipping at cost (~US$8) versus absorbing it changes net payout by US$7.20 per sale.
• Photograph and list multiple angles. Returns are a hidden tax — Depop's standard return reason set means most disputes go in the buyer's favour. A 5% return rate on a US$25 item is US$1.25/order taken out of your effective payout; cut that to 2% and the calculator's "Returns Reserve" line drops accordingly.
• Cross-list to Vinted, Poshmark, and eBay. If a SKU has been sitting on Depop for 60+ days, list it on Poshmark (20% flat US fee), eBay (13-15% category fee), or Vinted (buyer-paid buyer protection fee). Cross-listing requires inventory sync to avoid overselling — that's the operational layer OneCart handles for sellers running multiple resale channels.
• Bundle slow-movers into 2-for-1 listings. A single US$40 bundle pays one payment processing fee instead of two US$20 single sales (US$2.04 vs US$2.52). Margins compound across volume.

For sellers running Depop alongside other resale and marketplace channels — Poshmark, Vinted, eBay, TikTok Shop, Etsy — OneCart consolidates listings, inventory, and fee tracking into one dashboard so you can see real per-channel profitability instead of guessing.

Depop Fees vs Other Resale & Fashion Marketplaces

Depop's 0% US/UK seller fee is the most generous structure in mainstream resale right now. By comparison: Poshmark takes US$2.95 flat under US$15 and 20% above (so a US$25 sale pays US$5 to Poshmark); Etsy charges a 6.5% transaction fee plus 3% + US$0.25 payment processing plus a US$0.20 listing fee; eBay typically lands at 13-15% all-in for fashion. Vinted charges no seller fee at all but adds a buyer-paid "Buyer Protection" fee (3-8% + flat amount) which raises the price buyers see.

Use the calculator above for your exact market and price.

Does Depop charge listing fees?

No. Unlike Etsy, which charges US$0.20 per listing, Depop has no listing fees, no monthly subscription, and no per-SKU charges. You can list as many items as you want without paying anything until something sells.

What is a Boosted Listing on Depop?

A Boosted Listing is Depop's pay-for-promotion feature: you opt-in a specific listing to be pushed in the discovery feed and search results, and Depop takes an extra 8% (US and Australia) or 12% (UK, since December 2025) only if that listing sells via the Boost — specifically, if a buyer who viewed or clicked the boosted listing purchases within 28 days. There is no upfront cost — you pay only on conversion. Toggle "Boosted Listing" in the calculator to see the impact on your net payout.

How long does Depop take to pay sellers?

Through Depop Payments, funds typically arrive in your linked bank account within 1-2 business days after the buyer has marked the item as received (or after the platform's automatic release window, usually 7 days from delivery). Sellers still using legacy PayPal Direct receive payments immediately at sale, but PayPal's hold and dispute mechanics apply.

Can I deduct Depop fees from my taxes?

In most jurisdictions, yes — Depop fees and payment processing are deductible business expenses against your seller income. In the US, the 1099-K threshold means Depop reports your sales to the IRS once you exceed the federal reporting limit (and lower in some states), so keep a clean record of fees per transaction. The calculator's "Total Depop Fees" line is the figure you'd deduct alongside cost of goods. Always confirm with a qualified tax professional for your specific situation.
