How Depop fees work in 2026
For US sellers Depop no longer takes a commission. Instead the buyer pays a marketplace fee at checkout, and the seller pays payment processing of 3.3% + $0.45 calculated on the item price plus shipping. On a $35 item with $5 shipping that is $1.77 — an effective rate of about 4.4%, the lowest of the major clothing marketplaces.
The catch is Boosted Listings: if you opt an item into Boost and it sells through the boosted placement, Depop adds 8% of the sale price. That turns a 4.4% fee into roughly 12%, so use Boost deliberately on stale inventory rather than everything.
How to keep more of each Depop sale
- Because processing has a fixed $0.45 component, cheap items still carry a meaningful percentage — bundle where you can.
- Boost selectively; an 8% boost on an item that would have sold anyway is pure margin loss.
- Depop skews young and fashion-forward — price vintage and streetwear here, and cross-list basics to Mercari or Poshmark.
- Depop shipping labels are optional; compare the label price to your own carrier rates for heavier items.
Depop fee FAQ
