How Depop fees work in 2026
Depop made a big change: in 2024 it scrapped the 10% selling fee for US sellers. What's left is refreshingly simple:
- • Selling fee — 0% for US sellers (removed in 2024).
- • Payment processing — 3.3% + $0.45, charged on item + shipping + tax.
- • Boosted Listings — +8%, optional, and only when a boosted item sells.
Worked example: a $50 item with $5 shipping
- • Total transaction: $55.00
- • Selling fee (0%): $0.00
- • Payment processing (3.3% of $55 + $0.45): $2.27
- • Total Depop fees: $2.27 → you keep $52.73 (about a 4.1% effective rate)
The no-selling-fee perk is US-only. Depop sellers in other markets may still pay a commission, so confirm your local terms — and remember the fee applies to shipping and tax, not just the item.
Where the cost hides: your payout
With Depop's fees this low, the biggest cost can be getting paid out — especially if you sell from outside the US. Depop pays via PayPal or your card/bank, and a 2–4% currency-conversion markup on withdrawal can dwarf the 3.3% processing fee. Check the real payout cost with the PayPal, Wise and Payoneer calculators.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Depop take per sale?
For US sellers, Depop takes only the payment-processing fee — 3.3% + $0.45 per order — and no selling fee, after the 10% commission was removed in 2024. The fee applies to the total the buyer pays (item, shipping and tax), so on a $50 item with $5 shipping it works out to about $2.27.
Does Depop still charge a 10% selling fee?
Not for US sellers. Depop removed the 10% selling commission for US-based sellers in 2024, leaving only the 3.3% + $0.45 payment-processing charge. Sellers in some other markets may still pay a selling fee, so check your local terms.
What is the Depop Boost fee?
Boosted Listings cost an extra 8%, charged only when a boosted item actually sells. It is optional promotion — think of it as ad spend and only use it where the extra visibility pays for itself.
Does Depop charge fees on shipping?
Yes. The 3.3% + $0.45 payment-processing fee is calculated on the total transaction amount — item price plus shipping and sales tax — not just the item price.
How can I keep more of each Depop sale?
Use Boost selectively, price shipping deliberately (it is part of the fee base), and choose a low-cost payout. Depop pays out via PayPal or your linked card/bank, and a marked-up currency conversion on withdrawal can cost more than Depop's small processing fee — especially for non-US sellers.
