Depop Fee Calculator

Depop seller fees

Depop charges a platform fee on each sale plus payment processing through Depop Payments (powered by Stripe infrastructure in many regions). US planning defaults here use 10% platform fee and roughly 2.9% + $0.30 processing — similar to Depop’s published US stack though exact basis can vary slightly by payout currency and buyer location. There is no per-listing fee; vintage and streetwear sellers pay only when items move.

Depop’s audience skews Gen Z fashion — fee math is only part of margin. Factor photography time, packaging aesthetics, and international buyer share. International cards may trigger higher processing than domestic US cards; pad processing half a point if your analytics show heavy UK/EU buyers.

Depop Boost and other in-app promotion products charge separately from commission. Bundle discounts and offers to likers reduce sale price and therefore platform fee dollars but not the percentage. Depop Protection covers some lost-in-transit cases — policy details live in Help, not in fee percentages here.

Worked example: $40 sale, $8 sourcing cost → $4.00 platform + ~$1.46 processing ≈ $5.46 fees → $26.54 net before outbound shipping you pay. A $20 sale with $5 cost → $2.00 platform + ~$0.88 processing ≈ $2.88 fees → $12.12 net. Compare to Poshmark $2.95 flat on sub-$15 — Depop’s percent-plus-processing can be cheaper or pricier depending on ticket size.

Sellers migrating from Etsy physical vintage should note Depop’s simpler fee stack lacks listing and transaction fee duplication — one platform percent plus processing replaces Etsy’s layered listing + 6.5% transaction + processing. Offsite ads do not exist in the same form.

Round-trip sanity check: sale − platform − processing − COGS − shipping you pay = net. Depop receipts itemize platform and payment fees — sum both lines when auditing a month of sales against this calculator.

Depop shipping label integrations, Depop Balance payout timing, and UK/EU regulatory fees are not fully modeled. Calcometry is not affiliated with Depop — read Depop Help for live US fee percentages.

Depop Payments holds cleared funds before payout similar to other marketplaces — commission math is per sale, but cash timing lags delivery confirmation. Vintage sourcing cost should include cleaning and repair; this calculator only subtracts the item cost you enter. Depop Ads and Boost impressions bill separately from the 10% platform fee plus processing stack.

International buyers may trigger slightly higher processing — if your shop analytics show heavy non-US card share, pad the processing line half a percent when batch-pricing a drop.

Depop Shipping with Evri, USPS, or other carriers bills labels through the app — label cost is separate from platform percent unless you bake shipping into list price. Bundle offers to followers reduce sold price and fee dollars together. Reselling wholesale batches should amortize sourcing cost per unit in the item cost field for accurate net profit.

Depop Drops and featured seller programs do not change the 10% platform fee on standard sales — marketing is separate spend. Sales to US buyers from UK shops may show different processing — confirm payout currency and fee basis in Depop Balance settings.

Depop Balance holds cleared earnings before bank transfer — fee math is per sale even if payout batches weekly.

Seasonal fee tests and regional promos appear in Depop Help — US 10% platform plus processing is the planning default here.

Depop username changes and shop aesthetics are free — platform and processing fees hit only on completed in-app checkout sales.

Depop disputes and partial refunds may adjust net payout — fee treatment on returns follows Depop Help for your case type. Off-platform sales avoid fees but forfeit buyer and seller protections.

Bulk editing listings is free on Depop — you pay platform and processing only when checkout completes. Vintage wholesale hauls should spread sourcing cost across expected sell-through units in the item cost field. Confirm live rates in Depop Help before pricing a drop.
