Depop seller fees explained
Depop stopped charging sellers a commission in 2024, first in the UK and then in the US. What remains is payment processing, which is a percentage plus a fixed amount on the full order including shipping, and an optional Boosted Listing fee if you paid to promote the item.
US buyers now pay a marketplace fee at checkout instead (up to 5% plus up to $1). It does not reduce your payout, but it raises the price the buyer sees.

Worked examples
United States seller, default category and options, free shipping. These are the fees; subtract what the item cost you to get profit.
| Sale price | Selling fee | Payment processing | Total fees | Fees % | You keep |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $10.00 | $0.00 | $0.78 | $0.78 | 7.8% | $9.22 |
| $25.00 | $0.00 | $1.28 | $1.28 | 5.12% | $23.72 |
| $50.00 | $0.00 | $2.10 | $2.10 | 4.2% | $47.90 |
| $100.00 | $0.00 | $3.75 | $3.75 | 3.75% | $96.25 |
| $500.00 | $0.00 | $16.95 | $16.95 | 3.39% | $483.05 |
Notice how the effective rate falls as the price rises on platforms with fixed fees, and stays flat on pure-percentage platforms. That is the whole story of which marketplace suits cheap versus expensive items.

How to pay less on Depop
- With only processing to pay, Depop is the cheapest major US marketplace for fashion by a wide margin: about 3.3% + $0.45 against Poshmark's 20%.
- Boosting adds 8% but only on items that sell. It is worth it for stale listings, not for items that would sell anyway.
- The fixed $0.45 matters on low-priced items. On a $5 sale it is 9%.
